Wiring guidelines
Don't:
•Make sharp bends in the cables
•Run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors
•Run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or
high frequency signal cables.
•Run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems
•Run cables over sharp edges or burrs
Do:
•Make drip and service loops
•Use cable-tie on all cables to keep them secure
•Solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables.
Extending cables should be done with suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat
shrink. Keep joins as high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion.
•Leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and unplugging of cables

Plan and install an NMEA 2000 network
An NMEA 2000 network consists of a powered backbone from which drop cables connect to
NMEA 2000 devices. The backbone needs to run within 6 m (20 ft) of the locations of all
products to be connected, typically in a bow to stern layout.
The following guidelines apply:
•The total length of the backbone should not exceed 100 meters (328 ft)
16 Wiring | NSO evo3S Installation Manual

•A single drop cable has a maximum length of 6 meters (20 ft). The total length of all drop
cables combined should not exceed 78 meters (256 ft)
•The backbone needs to have a terminator at each end of the backbone. The terminator
can be a terminator plug or a unit with built-in terminator

Powering the network
The network requires its own 12 V DC power supply, protected by a 3 amp fuse.
For smaller systems: connect power at any location in the backbone.
For larger systems: connect power at a central point in the backbone to balance the voltage
drop of the network. Make the installation such that the load/current draw on each side of
the power node is equal.
ÚNote: 1 LEN (Load Equivalency Number) equals 50 mA current draw.
ÚNote: Do not connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to the same terminals as the engine
start batteries, autopilot computer, bow thruster or other high current devices.
NMEA 0183
The unit has a built in NMEA 0183 serial interface, providing both input and output. The
port(s) uses the NMEA 0183 (serial balanced) standard, and can be configured in the software
