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. The grommet does NOT provide a waterproof seal. To waterproof the grommet, apply a marine sealant. 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. This is essential to avoid interference to or from other equipment. 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. A minimum of 10. 5 VDC is required during radar turn-on and operation. Reference the wire gauge table on the previous page when using extended runs of wire between the power cable and the battery.
