CAUTION!
Before you apply power to the system, double-check
all wiring. A small, but significant number of units
sustain damage because of incorrectly wired connec-
tions. This damage isn’t covered under warranty. Be
sure you don’t apply primary voltage directly to any
of the signal input/output wires of the GPS sensor;
this may vaporize circuit-board conductors within
the sensor.
NOTE:
The information below only applies to the Northstar
8800 series and 8900 series sensors; NOT to the
Northstar 8700 sensor.
