4 Use the included screws to attach the CCU to the mounting surface. NOTE: If you use mounting hardware other than the provided screws, the hardware must be quality stainless or brass material to avoid magnetic interference with the CCU. Test any mounting hardware with a handheld compass to make sure no magnetic fields are present in the hardware. Connecting the CCU 1 Route the connector end of the CCU cable to the steering system connection or CAN bus and make the connection. 2 Route the orange and blue wires from the bare-wire portion of the CCU cable to the location where you plan to install the alarm (Installing the Alarm, page 3). If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with 0.08 mm2 (28 AWG) wire. Connecting to the Steering System of the Boat NOTICE Do not connect the steering controller cable to a NMEA 2000 network. The autopilot requires a powered CAN bus to communicate with the steering controller. Ensure the steering controller CAN bus is properly powered and terminated. Consult the boat manufacturer if needed. The steering controller cable allows the autopilot system to communicate with the steering system of the boat through a steering controller CAN bus. Additional instructions are supplied with the CAN bus. If needed, consult the manufacturer of your boat for assistance locating the steering-system access. 1 Locate the steering-system access for your boat. 2 Connect the steering controller cable from the CCU to the steering system through the included steering controller CAN bus. NOTE: If necessary, the steering controller cable can be extended using a NMEA 2000 extension cable. Installing the Alarm Before you can mount the alarm, you must select a mounting location (Alarm Mounting and Connection Considerations, page 2). 1 Route the alarm cable to the bare-wire end of the CCU cable. If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with 28 AWG (0.08 mm2) wire. 2 Connect the cables, based on this table. Alarm Wire Color White (+) Black (-) CCU Cable Wire Color Orange (+) Blue (-) 3 Solder and cover all bare-wire connections. 4 Secure the alarm with cable ties or other mounting hardware (not included). NMEA 2000 and the Autopilot Components A dedicated helm control is not included in all autopilot packages. If you install the autopilot without a dedicated helm control, the autopilot CCU must be connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as a compatible Garmin chartplotter to configure and control the autopilot system. NOTICE If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000 network, the NMEA 2000 network should already be connected to power. Do not connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network, because only one power source should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network. If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000 network or engine network by another manufacturer, you should install a NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) between the existing network and the Garmin devices. You can connect the CCU and the optional helm control through an existing NMEA 2000 network. If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, all the parts needed to build one are supplied in the autopilot package (Building a Basic NMEA 2000 Network for the Autopilot System, page 3). To use the advanced features of the autopilot, optional NMEA 2000 devices, such as a GPS device, can be connected to the NMEA 2000 network. If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the "NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals" chapter of the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000 Products. To download this document, select Manuals on the product page for your device at www.garmin.com. Building a Basic NMEA 2000 Network for the Autopilot System NOTICE If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly. A dedicated helm control is not included in all autopilot packages. If you install the autopilot without a dedicated helm control, the autopilot CCU must be connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as a compatible Garmin chartplotter to configure and control the autopilot system. 1 Connect the three T-connectors together side-by-side. À 2 Connect the included NMEA 2000 power cable to a 9 to Á 12 Vdc power source through a switch . Â Ã You should connect the power cable to the ignition switch of the boat if possible, or route it through an inline switch (not included). NOTE: The braided drain wire (bare) on the NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to the same ground as the black wire on the NMEA 2000 power cable. 3 Connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to one of the Tconnectors. 4 Connect one of the included NMEA 2000 drop cables to one of the T-connectors and to the helm control (optionÄal) or to a compatible Garmin chartplotter . Å 5 Connect the other included NMEA 2000 drop cable to the other T-connector and to the CCU . Æ 6 Connect the male and female terminators to each end of Ç the combined T-connectors. 3
