** BSM-1 connected directly to a GB40 or 8000i display
If the BSM-1 is connected directly to the vessel’s battery, the
module will continue to draw power even when it is not in
operation. It is recommended that the yellow power cable wire
be fitted with an optional on/off switch, allowing the BSM-1 to
be powered off when not in use. (except GB40 / 8000i direct
network connection – no Ethernet Linker).
It is recommended that the BSM-1 power cable be connected to
a separate power source other than the one starting the engine.
Doing so will prevent voltage drop. Voltage drop will not harm
the module, but it can cause the BSM-1 to reset. If the BSM-1
resets, some information could be lost and it may change the
operation mode of the unit.
This system is not intended for use on a “positive”
ground vessel.
The BSM-1 contains high voltages and specialized parts;
the operator should never remove the module’s cover or
attempt to service the device.
