Connecting the Wiring Harness to Power
1
Route the wiring harness to the power source and to the
device.
2
Connect the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and
connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
NMEA 0183 Connection Considerations
• The installation instructions provided with your NMEA 0183
compatible device should contain the information you need to
identify the transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) A (+) and B
(-) wires. Each port may have one or two transmitting wires,
or one or two receiving wires.
• When connecting NMEA 0183 devices to ports containing
two transmitting (Tx) wires or two receiving (Rx) wires each, it
is not necessary for the NMEA 0183 device to connect to a
common ground.
• When connecting a NMEA 0183 device to ports containing
one transmitting (Tx) wire or one receiving (Rx) wire each,
the NMEA 0183 device must be connected to a common
ground.
• When the device is mounted in a location that prevents the
internal antenna from acquiring a satellite signal, you can
connect an external GPS 19x antenna through a NMEA 0183
connection. For more information, see the GPS 19x
Installation Instructions.
