X2 Breakout Wire Connections
One grouping of breakout wires on the X2 wiring harness allows you to add a physical switch to a pump or
device connected to a digital switch on the specified primary wires of the X1 and X2 wiring harnesses.
Connecting these wires to the CH 32 TANK SENSOR GROUND wire on the X2 wiring harness through a physical
momentary switch triggers the associated latching, dimming, or momentary switch for devices connected to the
correlated channels on the primary harnesses.
The other grouping of breakout wires on the X2 wiring harness is used when configuring the device. Connecting
these wires to the CH 32 TANK SENSOR GROUND wire on the X2 wiring harness through a physical momentary
switch triggers the associated configuration command.
NOTE: Only momentary switches should be used for physical switches. Using physical latching or toggle
switches can override the Garmin Boat Switch device and disable digital switching on that channel through the
connected Garmin chartplotter.
