Getting Started
Before you begin
This guide is intended for qualified service personnel who are installing the PRC1000 for the first time or who
need to install a switch, gauge, modem, or other device to an existing PRC1000. However, before you install
anything related to the PRC1000, make sure that the proper cables have been selected and/or the required
network cabling has been installed using standard cable system practices.
Installation Requirements and Instructions
Mounting: The PRC1000 has (4) slotted mounting holes and
(2) oval mounting holes for easy mounting and
installation. You can use either wood or sheet metal
screens, hooks, or other common fasteners to
mount or hang the device.
Power: The PRC1000 requires either a 110-12VDC-power adapter or 9-30VDC power
source. The power interface is a standard 2-wire (+ and -) terminal strip. Disconnect
the 2-lead terminal strip insert plug from the PRC1000 power interface. With a power
adapter or wire that is not yet connected to a power supply, insert the positive wire
into the left (+) side access hole of the insert plug and tighten the retaining screw.
Next, insert the ground wire into the right (-) side access hole of the terminal strip and
tighten the second retaining screw. Plug the terminal strip plug into the PRC1000
power interface. Finally, connect the other end of the wire or the power supply to your
power source.
Do NOT insert live power leads directly into either of the Relay inputs, as this may
severely damage the PRC1000. Failure to comply with this warning will void any and
all existing product warranties or service agreements.
Environment: The PRC1000 is NOT waterproof or weatherproof.
Installation should include an enclosure to protect electronics.
Preferably a NMEA-4 type enclosure to ensure protection from
water and humidity.
