Application
To convert analog speed and temperature data to NMEA 0183
digital format.
Guidelines
CAUTION: To reduce electrical interference from other electrical
wiring and any on-board equipment with strong magnetic fields such
as radar equipment, radio transmitters, boat engines, generators,
etc., separate the cables by at least 1m (3').
CAUTION: Be careful not to tear the cable jackets when passing
them through the bulkhead(s) and other parts of the boat. Use
grommet(s) to prevent chafing.
CAUTION: Make power connections to a 12 VDC power source
that is isolated from the engine start battery(s). Voltage drops may
cause the instrument/receiver/sensor to lose information and/or
change operating mode.
CAUTION: Use a multimeter to check the polarity and the con-
nections to the power supply before applying power to the sensor.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OWNER’S GUIDE &
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles and a dust
mask when installing to avoid personal injury.
WARNING: The power must be OFF before wiring if
the instrument is already connected to a power source
to avoid personal injury or death.
WARNING: The power supply voltage must be
12 VDC. Any other voltage may damage the sensor
and/or result in fire, causing damage to the boat,
personal injury, and/or death.
WARNING: A safe installation requires a 0.5 amp fast-
blow fuse or circuit breaker. Failure to do so may result
in fire, causing damage to the boat, personal injury,
and/or death.
IMPORTANT: Read the instructions completely
before proceeding with the installation. These
instructions supersede any other instructions in your
instrument manual if they differ.
