Note:
The BoatConnect hub has no on/off switch and will remain powered whilst connected to your battery.
It will draw a very small current (typically 41 mA for a 12V battery). If your boat’s battery runs flat, it will continue
to monitor your boat for approximately 30 days using an internal battery if the boat remains moored.
Connect your BoatConnect hub to your main (typically engine) 12V or 24V battery
that you wish to monitor, which will need remain on at all times to provide the hub
with constant power.

1.
Choose the appropriate terminal ring set above that
fits your battery or terminal block and attach them to the
red and black leads on your hub.
If the connectors do not
fit your battery or its terminal block, you may need to find
alternate sized ones.
2.
Insert the leads from the BoatConnect hub into the ring
terminal and crimp them to create a strong connection
between the lead and terminal.
Connect the hub to your
battery in the following way:
A.
The black lead to the negative (-) terminal of
your battery.
B.
The red lead to the positive (+) terminal of your battery
Once the BoatConnect hub has been connected to your
battery, two lights on the hub will begin to flash slowly.
