For reliable network performance use the following guidelines:
• Connect the battery to the network power wires at one
single point to avoid interfering noise loops.
• Use good quality and saltwater resistant accessories
(circuit breaker, fuse holder, power cable terminals)
• Use at least 2x1.0 mm
2
(16 AWG) cable if you need to
extend the standard SimNet power cable (2m / 6.7’) to
reach the battery, and remember to add the length of this
to the total SimNet cable length (L - page 15) when you
are planning your system.
Using a heavier gauge cable between the battery and the SimNet
power cable will reduce the effect on the total network cable
length (L). (See Figure 3-1 and page 16.)
− 2 x 3.0 mm
2
(12 AWG) add only 1/5 of the extended cable
