DC Power Source Installation
The DC power cable has three wires, RED, BLACK
and YELLOW. The RED and BLACK wires are used
for the power connection while the YELLOW
wire can be connected to a vessels accessories,
ignition or other similar circuits to control the
ON/OFF status of the IsatDock2 MARINE in
synchronization with a vessels operation.
By default, the IsatDock2 MARINE will stay on
for 20 minutes after this input (YELLOW wire)
is switched off. If a call is in progress while this
occurs, the IsatDock2 MARINE will stay on for 20
minutes after the call is terminated. Please follow
the steps below to connect the DC power cable
to the vehicle battery power and the IsatDock2
MARINE.
1.
Route the wire end of the DC power cable to
the connection point.
2.
Connect the BLACK wire to the negative
terminal of the battery (10A fuse
recommended) or the vehicle chassis (if
negatively grounded chassis).
3.
Connect the RED wire to the positive
terminal of the battery. It is recommended to
add the 5A fuse (supplied) between them.
4.
Connect the YELLOW wire to the vessel
accessory power. If the accessory power
is unavailable, this may be connected to a
switch. It is recommended to add a 1A fuse
between them. The accessory wire enables
the IsatDock2 MARINE to turn on and off
as the vessel key is enabled or disabled. If
this function is not required, the YELLOW
wire MUST be connected to the RED wire.
5.
Connect the 4-way Microfit connector on
the DC power cable to the 4-way power
connector on the rear cable loom of the
IsatDock2 MARINE.
9) Cable Routing
The IsatDock provides three different cable
routing options when installing the docking
station.
Cables may exit via path ‘A’ that travels around
to the top of the dock allowing for the interface
cables to be run with the external antenna
connections. Path ‘B’ directs cables out the base
of the dock while path ‘C’ results in cables exiting
to the side.
