completed, the receiver should be returned to stand-by mode and the omni-directional antenna should be
plugged into the unit once more. For portable operation, the receiver batteries will need to be fully
charged. The batteries are automatically charged when the receiver is connected to the vessel 12 VDC
power supply. Batteries are installed by the Seasafe dealer upon purchase of the equipment and are not
replaceable by the user. Whilst the receiver is connected to the vessel’s power it will run off this power
source at the same time the internal batteries will be charged. When disconnected from the vessel’s
power source, the receiver will operate off the internal battery supply.
b. Power / Auxiliary Output Cable
The receiver is supplied with a connection cable and plug. The cable consists of three wires.
A red ‘positive’ power connection wire, a black ‘negative’ connection wire and a white ‘auxiliary’ output
connection wire. Connection of the Seasafe Receiver Power and Auxiliary Output cable should only be
performed by a qualified marine or automotive electrician. The red wire is supplied with an in-line fuse
which will protect the receiver in the event of a short-circuit or electrical system overload. The red wire
must be connected to the positive 12 VDC power supply on the vessel. The black wire must be connected
to the negative or ground power supply of the vessel.
The white wire is an auxiliary or optional output from the receiver. In the event of an ‘alarm’ signal being
received by the receiver, an output is automatically transmitted through this white wire. This output signal
may be used to activate an ‘engine cut-out’, a flashing light, an external alarm klaxon or may even be
interfaced to an external MOB input on certain marine electronic GPS and navigation systems. If utilising
this auxiliary output signal, it MUST be connected to any peripheral equipment via an external relay
. This
must be performed by a qualified marine or automotive electrician. Once the power cable has been
connected to the vessel power (vessel power should be switched on), the receiver is now ready for
operation.
