External Power
The MX 500 will to operate on 12 ~ 32 VDC supply. It can tolerate
voltages no lower than 10 volts and no higher than 35 volts. It draws
about 1 Ampere at 12 VDC (with an antenna connected). Power wire
colors are red (+) and black (-). Even though the navigator has a reverse
polarity protection device, we recommend that the installer observe proper
polarity before hooking up the power leads. It is recommended using a
2 amp. fuse in line with the red wire as close to the battery as possible.
This not only protects the navigator but also the cabling.
Navigator Grounding.
The internal electronic circuits of the navigator are isolated from the
external power supply. Connect the ground stud to ship's seawater ground
to avoid static charge build up.
Note : 'Seawater ground' is any electrically conductive
material that is directly in contact with sea water.
