What's in the Box
• 1 voltage regulator
• 1 removable terminal block connector
• 2 mounting screws
About the Voltage Regulator
Depending on the model, this device either converts the voltage
from your boat battery to a steady 12 Vdc (MS-VREG12), or it
regulates the voltage from your battery to power the LEDs on
compatible Fusion speakers (SG-VREGLED). The SG-
VREGLED model also allows you to set the LEDs to dim with
the boat lights and to select the color of the LEDs.
Mounting Location Considerations
If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is
recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance
counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to
avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are
tightened.
Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass
and overtightened. Garmin
lubricant to the screws before installing them.
When selecting a mounting location for the device, observe
these considerations.
• Due to the water rating, this device must be mounted and the
wiring connections must be made in a non-submerged
location, and it should not be exposed to spray or wash
down.
• The device should be mounted with the terminal block facing
downward, to avoid water entering the device through the
connector port.
• The best location for the device is near the battery, in a
protected area.

Connection Considerations
The 12 Vdc wiring from the battery to the regulator must run
through a fuse near the power supply using a 5 A fuse (not
included). You must connect the red power (+) wire to the fuse.
The red power (+) wire should also connect to an isolator switch
or circuit breaker to turn the regulator on and off. If the regulator
is used as an accessory with a stereo, you can use the same
isolator or circuit breaker that controls the power supply to the
stereo. This allows the regulator and the stereo to turn on and
off at the same time.
Wire Extensions
To ensure proper functionality of the voltage regulator, you
should use the wire gauge recommended for the wire function.
NOTE: The wire sizes provided in the following tables are valid
for a maximum length of 6 m (20 ft.). If a longer extension is
needed, contact Fusion Product Support for assistance.

Installing the SG-VREGLED Voltage Regulator
Before you permanently install the voltage regulator, you should
select a mounting location, make wiring connections, and test
the wiring connections.
1
After you have selected a mounting location for the regulator,
route the appropriate cables to the mounting location.
2
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to connect the detachable
connector on the regulator, based on the diagram and table.
TIP: You can disconnect the connector from the regulator to
access the binding posts more easily.

manually-switched operation.
You can connect to + 12V IN for permanent
operation.
+ 12V IN The positive wire from the boat battery.
This wire must be connected through a 5 A fuse
(not included) near the power supply.
