The Ancor 270113 NMEA 2000 Power Isolator is a great solution for marine electrical setups. It's color - coded, which makes installation a breeze and helps you quickly identify components. Compatible with all NMEA 2000 micro devices, this isolator can isolate power between two independent NMEA 2000 networks. You can reduce battery current draw by powering one bus off while keeping the other running. It also helps with voltage drop issues on long networks. The yellow couplers connect to Ancor backbone cables and tees, simplifying network installation with its color - coded design.

Using the Ancor NMEA 2000 Power Isolator is easy. First, check that all your devices are NMEA 2000 micro devices, as this isolator is compatible with them. When installing, use the color - coding to guide you. Connect the yellow couplers to the corresponding Ancor backbone cables and tees. This will help you set up a simplified network. To reduce battery current draw, you can power one bus off while the other remains operational. If you're dealing with long networks, this isolator can assist with voltage drop issues. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Check the connections regularly to make sure they're secure. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals. If you notice any signs of damage, replace the isolator right away.
