1 | Connect a GPS to the Bridge Control Unit using a serial line. Most global positioning system (GPS) receivers provide NMEA 0183 datagrams containing geographical latitude and longitude
information, as well as current speed and sailed distance.
|
2 | Connect the third-wire deck cable from the winch to the third-wire deck cable connector (B). |
3 | Connect the Ethernet cable from your Processor Unit to the Ethernet port (C). |
4 | If you have a Remote Panel (optional), you can connect its cable to the Remote Panel connector (D). |
5 | Select the correct voltage using the voltage selector switch (E). Caution
You must change the input supply voltage on the Bridge Control Unit to match the ship’s mains power. Failure to select the proper AC Input Voltage to match the ship’s mains power may damage the Bridge Control Unit.
|
6 | Connect the power cable from the AC power outlet to the power socket (F). |
7 | If your power cable is not earthed (does not have a ground wire), then you must connect a grounding cable from the dedicated
ground pin (H) to the vessel’s ground in the fuse box (or other common grounding point). Note
Another ground pin is located on the front of the Bridge Control Unit for your convenience.
