For surfaces over 30 mm (1 3/16"), locally supplied longer threaded rods are needed. 233 mm (9 5/32")" Distance 2 meters (6 1/2 ft) 4 meters (13 ft) 6 meters (19 ft) Gauge 16 AWG 14 AWG 12 AWG Ship's Bow 141. 5 mm (5 /16")" 9. 5 mm (3/8")" Wire Gauge Table Figure 1 Plate Power connector Mounting holes Radome Mounting bracket Flat washer Spring washer Network connector Cable routing options Figure 2 Figure 3 M8 x 60 threaded rod M8 nut Garmin Radome Installation Instructions 3 Cable Runs Route the cables as needed, depending on the type of mount you are using. It may be necessary to drill 31. 7 mm (1. 25") holes for routing the power or network cable. Garmin provides a rubber cable grommet which may be used to cover a cable installation hole. Additional cable grommets can be purchased through Garmin or a Garmin dealer. When installing the power and network cables, observe the following: · It is not recommended to cut the RJ-45 marine network cable, but the Garmin radome package includes a field install kit if it is necessary to do so. It is important that the wires are connected to the new RJ-45 connector the same way. · To ensure safety, use the appropriate tie-wraps, fasteners, and sealant to secure the cable along a route and through any bulkhead or deck. Avoid running the cables near moving objects, high-heat sources, or through doorways and bilges. · Avoid installing the cables next to or parallel to other cables, such as radio antenna lines or power cables. If this is not possible, shield the cables with metal conduit or a form of EMI shielding. · Install the power cable as close to the battery source as possible. Reference the wire gauge table on the previous page when using extended runs of wire between the power cable and the battery. Final Wiring Connections Making the final wiring connections 1. Connect the Black ground (-) wire to the vessel's negative power terminal. Connect the Red power (+) wire (with fuse holder) to the vessel's positive power terminal. The fuse holder must remain in place for the Garmin radome to function correctly. Removing the inline fuse holder may damage your boat's circuitry. For a stand-alone network (chartplotter and radar only), attach the RJ-45 marine network cable to the RJ-45 socket on the back of the chartplotter. For an expanded network (chartplotter, radar, GMS 10, etc. ), attach the RJ-45 marine network cable to an open RJ-45 socket on the GMS 10 network port expander. Note: If you are using a Garmin GPSMAP 4000 or 5000 series chartplotter, you may not need a GMS 10 network port expander. The GPSMAP 4000 and 5000 series chartplotters have multiple RJ-45 sockets. Garmin radome GPS 17/17X Garmin Chartplotter Stand-alone Network Note: When using the Garmin radome with a stand-alone network, the chartplotter and GPS antenna (GPS 17) must be installed according to their installation instructions. This diagram only shows how a Garmin radome communicates with a stand-alone network and does not illustrate the full wiring needs of the chartplotter or GPS 17/17X.
