POWER CONNECTIONS
The Accura 240 works from a twelve-volt battery system. For the best
results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the
power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have
problems with electrical interference. Therefore, it’s safer to go ahead and
attach the power cable directly to the battery. If the cable is not long
enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The power cable has two wires, red
and black. Red is the positive lead, black is negative or ground. Make
certain to attach the in-line fuse holder to the red lead
as close to the power
source as possible. For example, if you have to extend the power cable to
the battery or power buss, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the
battery or power buss. This will protect both the unit and the power cable
in the event of a short. The Accura 240 requires a 3-amp fuse.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable!
Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty.
If you’re installing a speed or temperature sensor, read it's mounting
instructions. Route the sensor’s cable to the Accura 240's power cable and
plug it into the connector marked “SPEED/TEMP CABLE”
After the cables have been routed, fill the hole with a good marine sealing
compound. Offset the bracket to cover the hole. Route the power cable
through the slot. Break out one of the holes in the back of the bracket for
the transducer cable.
