Completing the Installation

1. From outside the Splitter, pull each cable until only 51mm (2") of

jacket remains inside the box. Using slip-joint pliers, tighten each
compression nut to make a watertight seal (see Figure 3).

2. Arrange the wires neatly inside the Splitter. Check to be sure

the gasket is firmly installed in the channel on the back side of
the cover (see Figure 7). Lubricate the gasket with the silicone
lubricant supplied. Screw the cover in place with the two long
screws supplied.

3. Fasten the Splitter in place with the four 6 x 1/2" screws

supplied in the plastic bag.

4. Plug the sensor cable’s connector into the sensor.
5. Plug the NMEA 2000 cable’s connector into the network.
6. Plug the NMEA 0183 cable’s connector into the Airmar Data

Converter or Airmar Combiner.
Connecting to an NMEA 0183 instrument
• Cut off the connector and discard.
• The white, blue, red, black, and bare wires are not needed.

Cut them off flush with the cable jacket.

• Protect the cable’s foil shielding from causing a short circuit

by covering the cable jacket with heat-shrink tubing where
the wires emerge from the cable. The tubing must overlap the
wires a minimum of 6mm (1/4"). Use a heat gun to shrink the
tubing.

• Connect the following wires:

grey

A/+ NMEA output

purple

B/- NMEA output

yellow

A/+ NMEA input

orange

B/- NMEA input

7. Fasten all the cables in place.
