Power supply connections
SeaTalk systems
CAUTION:
When instruments are connected to SeaTalk, ensure that the power
supply for the SeaTalk 12 V line is protected by a 5 A fuse.
Systems with a large number of instruments on the SeaTalk bus may
require connections to the power supply from each end of the system
(‘ring-main’ style), to maintain sufficient voltage throughout the system.
This requirement depends on the totallength of thecable run and thetotal
number of instruments in the system, as follows:
