2.6  REMOTE DISPLAY UNIT CABLING 
24v DC Input supply 
The Mk7 Remote Display Unit should be powered from a floating 24v DC supply (+30% -25%) rated at 
1.5 Amp continuous rated, with 2.5Amp surge for 1.5ms.  
The external supply should be connected via a Hirschmann GM216 NJ power connector. 
PLEASE NOTE: - The Remote Display Unit may not operate correctly if the external 24v power 
supply is referenced to the vessel earth. There is also a risk the input protection circuitry in the 
unit could be damaged. 
Cable type   2 Cores + Earth, CSA 1.5mm

, fine stranded bare copper wires, braided screen, low smoke 
halogen free sheath, outside diameter 10mm (max), operating temperature 0ºC + 80ºC. 
Cables should be segregated from high voltage cables and follow good installation practice 
Suggested cables 
  Lapp Kabel  1.5mm2 Ölflex Classic 110CH - 10035068 
  Prysmian  LSM-HF 3 core 1.5mm2 
  Helkama  LKAM-HF 3 core 1.5mm2 
The 24v DC connection to the Remote Display Unit may be made using the pre-terminated 5m cable, 1-
43682-K296. The cable may be cut to length or extended depending on the distance between the Remote 
Display Unit and the 24v DC power source. 
Alternatively, a single length of cable may be used between the 24v power supply and the Remote 
Display Unit. Using this method, the cable must be terminated in using a Hirschmann GM216 NJ power 
connector, 1-27400-K304.
