4- Electrical wiring
If you are not sure you understand these guidelines, seek professional help. Ensure that the
installation complies with USCG, ABYC, NMMA or other local regulations.
Lewmar recommends the installer source and install cable that meets the requirements of the
standards and regulations relevant to the installation and codes of practice.
The wiring system should be of the fully insulated type, which avoids possible electrolytic corrosion
problems. We recommend the use of type III stranded, tinned copper wire with copper crimp
terminals. Most modern installations are negative return (negative ground) but polarity should be
checked.
Refer to the wiring diagram and installation instructions provided with the control box to complete the
electrical installation.
Plan the position of the control box near to the capstan, preferably in a dry environment.
The AC motor features an integral electromagnetic brake which is pre-wired to the motor.
If using a 3rd party control using variable speed control, this brake must be powered separately.
Contact Lewmar for advice.
