Installation Guide for Garmin GC 200 Marine IP Camera

Quick guide from the manual

This document provides installation instructions for the Garmin GC 200 Marine IP Camera. Before beginning, ensure you have a drill with a 2 mm (1/16 in.) drill bit and a Pozidriv screwdriver. Always test the camera in the selected location before permanent mounting. Note that you must update your chartplotter software to set up and view the camera feed.

Mounting the Camera

The camera can be mounted upside-down or sideways, and the image can be reversed in the chartplotter settings. Follow these steps for installation:

1. Secure the template to the mounting location.
2. Drill pilot holes using a 2 mm (1/16 in.) drill bit.
3. Use the included hex wrench to loosen the screw on the side of the camera base and remove the base from the camera body.
4. Feed the camera cables through the base or one of the cable channels.
5. Align the base with the pilot holes and secure it using the provided washers and screws.
6. Attach the camera to the base and tighten the screw.
7. Connect the camera cables.
8. Align the slots on the camera base with the collar lugs and turn the collar until it locks.

Connection Considerations

The camera requires specific power configurations depending on your system:

• Direct Power: Connect to a 9 to 18 Vdc power source. You must install a 1 A fast-acting fuse on the power wire.
• 24 Vdc Systems: Do not connect directly to a 24 Vdc system. You must use a Garmin Power Module to avoid permanent damage.
• Garmin Power Module: Using the power module (010-12527-00) allows for a single camera cable connection, which is beneficial for long distances (e.g., on a mast).
