Electrical supply
This equipment is designed for use with a power supply source of 12-24 Vdc. The application of any other
power supply may result in permanent damage to the equipment.
It’s the installers responsibility to ensure the diameter of the cables from the battery to the switching panel and
from the switching panel to the SAILMON products is sufficient.
•Avoid excessive voltage drop due to improper cable diameter.
•Cut the cable to the correct length.
•Do not make rings of excessive cable inside the switching panel or elsewhere.
Best efficiency and lowest battery consumption is achieved when optimizing cable length to a
minimum.
THE MINIMUM VOLTAGE ON THE MODEL | E4 CONNECTOR MUST NOT FALL BELOW 9.0 VOLTS. UNDER
VOLTAGE WILL CAUSE SYSTEM RESET AND SYSTEM INSTABILITY.!
Large currents due to switching of electrical winches or other high power devices will cause under voltages for a
short time. Model E4 will handle this short-term voltage drop if the voltage stays well above 6.5 Volts. A voltage
below 6.5 Volts will result in immediate reset and reboot.

Getting Started
It’s time to get to business! At Sailmon we have tried very hard to make installation as easy as possible. So let’s
get started quickly.
In this installation guide we assume you have already planned your installation, and already have installed your
sensors.
This manual does not cover the installation of sensors.
Sailmon interfaces with the sensors you have installed and uses that data to crunch the numbers.
If you have any questions about planning your Sailmon equipment or where to place your sensors, don’t
Communication protocol
The Sailmon instruments communicate using standard 100Mbps ethernet allowing for very fast and
flexible integration.
Each device is a DHCP client which allows our system to be integrated in the ships network. All
system control is done using our Nav | desk application.
