2.6 CONNECTING THE SYSTEM
2.6.1 Input power
+24 V dc and 0 V dc power input cables for the Control Panel should be terminated onto Interface Board
Supply Input (terminal block TB5).
Where required by the vessel approval authority two separate 24v supply cables may be necessary. The
two cables should be routed by different paths to reduce the risk of damage affecting both cables.
Cables should be segregated from high voltage cables and follow good installation practice
Note all terminations should be made using crimped wires.
For each of the power connections strip the power cable to the required length to connect to the
terminals in the Control Panel. Then remove approximately 1cm of the outer sheath to expose the cable
screen as shown below.
Figure 17 Power cable
Feed the cable into the Control Panel via a metal IP65 EMC gland supplied, ensuring that the
metal prongs make a good contact with the exposed cable screen as shown below. The gland
should be fixed in place using a toothed nut to cut through the Control Panel paint.
