Drill four 3/16 in (4. 5 mm) holes as indicated on the template to accept the retaining bolts. Slide the unit into the console and secure using the included hardware. 2. 2 Cable Runs When installing system cables consider the following: · All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. · Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight feed-through should be used. · Do not pull cables through a bulkhead or deckhead using a cord attached to the connector. This could damage the connections. 16 .

DC power is connected at the 3-pin POWER connector on the unit's connector panel. The connector (viewed from the outside) and pin functions are shown in the following diagram and table. Chapter 2: Installing the Display Unit 17 1 2 D7734-1 Power Connector Pin No. 1 2 3 Function Battery positive (12 VDC systems) Battery negative Shield (drain wire) Color Red Black 3 No insulation Power Supply The A65 is intended for use on boat's DC power systems rated from 10. 7 to 18 VDC. The power connection to the unit should be made at either the output of the battery isolator switch or at a DC power distribution panel. Power should be fed directly to the A65 via its own dedicated cable system and protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse on the red (positive) wire that is installed close to the power connection. CAUTION: Dedicated Power Connection The A65 also supplies power for the GPS and sounder units (if so equipped). To minimize succeptibility to display flickering due to power fluctuations, provide the display unit with its own dedicated connection to boat's power. The RED wire must be connected to the feed from the positive (+) battery terminal and the BLACK wire to the feed from the negative (­) battery terminal. The shield wire (drain) should be connected to the boat's RF ground. CAUTION: Fuse Protection Install a fast blow 4 amp fuse on the red (positive) wire. If a longer power cable run is required, use the supplied power cable to connect to the display unit. Then use a suitable connector block to connect the free end to the extension cable, taking particular care to ensure the correct polarity. 18 A65 Installation Manual Use commonly practiced methods to determine proper wire gauge based on wire length, current, and wire tables. You may also trim the power cable supplied with the A65 to reduce overall wire length. Only use enough wire to connect the unit to the power source, including a service loop.
