box that the DC Power Cable may be connected to).
2) Make sure that the breakers are in the OFF position and
then connect the “DC Power” to the Control Processor where
indicated (see detail right).
3) Run a bonding wire (#12 AWG, green jacket) from the
Control Processor bonding stud (1/4”) located top right on the
connector side of the Control Processor.
2.8 Start Interlock
The EEC3 system includes a “start interlock” safety feature —
this feature verifies that the transmission control lever is in
Neutral prior to starting the engines. In order to utilize this
product feature, the signal wire from the helm station start
switch to the engine starter solenoid must be intercepted and
run through the control switches within the Control Processor.
To install the Start Interlock system:
1) Identify the Start Interlock wiring on the “Start Interlock har-
ness”.
2) Route these wires to the engine distribution box and connect
using appropriate connectors (see wiring diagram).
2.9 Remote Enable Switch
While the boat is tied up at the dock and not in use,
it is recommended that the EEC system be turned
off. Since power is normally supplied directly to the
Engine Processor from power sources in the engine
room, turning power ON and OFF in the engine
room may be difficult to do each time the system is
started up. For this reason, a remote enable switch
is available for use with the EEC control system.
This enable switch allows power to the system to be turned ON or OFF at the Main station.
The EEC System Enable Switch is installed as follows:
1. Make sure the circuit breakers that control the power to the Control Processor are turned off before starting this instal-
lation.
2. Install a Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) switch in the instrument panel. A water resistant rocker switch or toggle switch
is available from GMP. NOTE: Locate the switch in an area where it will not be inadvertantly turned OFF during operation.
