Connecting LED Wiring to the Wiring Harnesses

You must use the provided wiring harnesses to connect LED lights to the LED control module. The extension wire needed to connect the LED lights to the wiring harnesses is not included, but you can purchase marine LED cable (010-13386-00) from garmin.com or your Garmin® dealer.

WARNING

In order to avoid accidental short circuits, disconnect the power supply to the Garmin Spectra™ LED control module before making any connections. Failure to disconnect the power supply could result in serious bodily injury, and/or damage to the device and/or vessel.

WARNING

LED lights may have additional fuse requirements. Refer to the documentation for your LED lighting for the proper fuse ratings for your equipment. Failure to install an appropriate fuse could cause a fire resulting in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

  1. Route appropriately gauged marine-grade, fully-tinned copper wire (not included) from the location of the device to the LED lights.
    NOTE: You should label both ends of the wire so you can easily identify which wires route to which LEDs.
  2. Connect the wire to the LEDs according to the documentation provided with the LED lights.
  3. Referring to this table, connect the wire to the wiring harnesses using appropriately gauged marine-grade connectors or solder and waterproof heat shrink tubing.
