2.6 Ring Connection

Installations that have a large number of instruments on the SeaTalk bus
may require a second ring main connection. This should be fed back to the
circuit breaker to avoid excessive voltage drops. This can be checked
using the table below:

SeaTalk Cable Max number of units Max number of units

length (Single connection) (Second connection)

Up to 10m (33ft) 13 26

Up to 20m (66ft) 7 13

The second connection should be made to the spare lead on the last
instrument and led back to the circuit breaker. If the SeaTalk bus is
receiving power from an autopilot course computer, the second
connection should be made at the spare SeaTalk terminal on the course
computer.
