Installing The Power Cable And Deployment Notification Alarm Wire - MINN KOTA TALON Mode D'emploi

INSTALLING THE POWER CABLE AND DEPLOYMENT NOTIFICATION ALARM WIRE

Installing the Power Cable and Deployment Notification Alarm Wire
The Talon Power Cable consists of a 30 amp in-line resettable fuse on the positive lead, a negative lead, and a Deployment Notification
Alarm Wire. The Deployment Notification Alarm Wire is a green wire that comes from the Power Cable and, when installed, is used
to sound an alarm, when the Ignition Switch is turned to the "on" position with the Talon deployed. When connected and the Talon is
properly stowed, no tone will be emitted when the Ignition Switch is turned "on". Minn Kota recommends connecting the Power Cable to
the starting battery through a battery selector/power disconnect switch. The Talon does draw a small amount of residual current from
the battery even when not in use. By connecting the positive lead of the Talon Power Cable through a battery selector/power disconnect
switch it will disconnect power to the Talon when the Power Switch is "off". The Power Switch must have a minimum amp rating of 60
amps per Talon. If you are not connecting the Talon to a battery selector/power disconnect switch, it can be connected directly to the
starting battery, but should be disconnected from power when the Talon is not in use. The Power Cable can be routed in a number of
different ways depending on a boats unique setup. It is
recommended to route the Power Cable using the shortest and
cleanest route from the Talon to the battery connection. Please
see the Battery & Wiring Installation section of this Manual for
more information.
NOTICE:
It is not necessary to connect the
Deployment Notification Alarm Wire in order for the
Talon to function, but it is needed to comply with
warranty requirements.

a. Inspect the selected wire routing and make sure that
there are no sharp edges, obstacles or obstructions
that may damage the Power Cable. If routing along
the gas outboard wire or a cable harness assembly,
you may need to open any wire ties or clamps to
allow the Power Cable to pass through.
b. Carefully route the Power Cable along the intended
path. Remove any slack in the Power Cable so that it
routes without any bulges, lumps or kinks.
c. The Power Cable for the Talon splits at the end to
include the positive lead with a fuse, a negative
lead and then the Deployment Notification Alarm
Wire. If you choose not to connect the Deployment
Notification Alarm, skip to step 4.
