Multiple engine configuration
If you have more than one engine on your boat and your boat is
already fitted with a kill switch you can connect the wires as
described above to the two existing signal wires leading to the
existing mechanical switch in your helm or throttle. You may notice
that the existing wires consists of a splitter component (diode kit)
on the wires. This splitter must not be removed, as this splitter
translates the signal from the single mechanical kill switch into
a kill switch signal for multiple engines. You should connect the
WiMEA Boat Unit wires after this splitter, i.e. on the last two wires
leading into the existing mechanicatl switch installed in your helm.
NOTICE
Installing WiMEA in a metal boat
If your helm is made out of conducting materials the wireless
signals from WiMEA may be degraded. The amount of signal
degradation experienced may vary from across boats and must
be tested for each case. If the signal is very poor you can install
a separate external antenna outside of your helm to increase the
signal strength. Please visit FELL Support at
www.fellmarine.com/support for more information and wire
diagram for your specific engine brand.
If you have multiple engines and do not have an
existing kill switch, wires and a splitter must be
bought from your engine manufacturer or local
retailer. Please contact your local engine retailer
or manufacturer.
