Lowrance electronic GLOBALMAP 4800M manual

1 Pub. 988-0151-182 Addendum I LMS-480M, LMS-480DF & GlobalMap 4800M This addendum addresses new items pa cked with your unit, changes to installation procedures, and NMEA 2000 upgrades not documented in the LMS 480M, LMS-480cDF and GlobalMap 4800M manuals. Your unit now packs with a 2-foot (61 cm) blue-to-red adapter cable, 15- foot (4.6 m) ex[...]

2 Power Connections Your unit comes with a power/data cable that splits into three branches, each with several exposed wires. The thicker three-wire cable (white, red and black) is the power supply for your display unit. This cable has no label. The thinner branch with three wires (red, black and shield) is the power cable for a NMEA 2000 network. [...]

3 Powering Your Display Unit The display unit works from a 12-volt DC battery system. Attach the display power cable (with provided 3-amp fuse) to an accessory switch or power bus. If this results in elec trical interference, connect direct to a battery but install an in-line switch on the cable. Caution: We strongly recommend that you shut off the[...]

4 For example, if you have to extend the power cable to the power bus or battery, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the power bus or battery. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event of a short. This unit has reverse polarity protec tion. No damage will occur if the power wires are reversed. However, the unit wil[...]

5 Powering a NMEA 2000 Network Bus A NMEA 2000 bus must be connected to a power source to operate. NMEA 2000 devices, including GPS mo dules, draw their power from the ne two rk bus . If you have a pre-existing NMEA 2000 network instal- lation, it may already be connected to another power source. If you are not sure about a network's power st [...]
