B G 802 Triton Edge Sailing Processor
Parts included
- A Triton™ Edge™ sailing processor
- B Mounting screws
- C Power cable
- D NMEA 2000® cable (0.6 m/2 ft)
- E NMEA 2000® tee connector
- F Connection details card
Mounting
Secure the Triton™ Edge™ vertically, with its cable exits facing down. To allow access to the cables, ensure there is at least 15 cm (5.9’’) of clearance between the connectors and the surface underneath them. Installation in an engine compartment is not recommended because the environment is hot and electrically noisy. To prevent interference between the unit and the vessel’s compass(es), ensure the unit is at least 50 cm (20’’) away from any compass.
It may be helpful to check the strength of the unit’s Wi-Fi® signal at different locations on the vessel before choosing its permanent position. Mark the hole positions (1), drill pilot holes (2); and fix the sailing processor into position with the four supplied selftapping screws (3).
CAUTION : Always wear appropriate eyewear, ear protection and dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding. Remember to check the reverse side of all surfaces whenever drilling or cutting.
Connecting the Triton™ Edge™
Power (A)
The unit is designed to be powered by a 12 V or 24 V DC source. A 1 A fuse, or
circuit breaker, should be fitted to the positive terminal of the power
supply. Connect the red and black wires in the power cable to the positive and
negative terminals of the power supply, respectively. The blue and yellow
wires are not used. Wrap their ends with insulating tape to prevent short
circuits.
Connectors
- A Power
- B Earth-ground connection point
- C NMEA 2000®
- D Ethernet
Status LEDs
- E Power (steady green when powered. Red when restarting)
- F NMEA 2000® (rapid flicker on data transfer)
- G Ethernet (rapid flicker on data transfer)
- H Wi-Fi® (steady blue when hotspot is on)
Power cable
- 12/24 V DC (red)
- Ground/negative (black)
- Not used (blue)
- Not used (yellow)
- Switch
- Fuse
Earth-ground connection point (B)
Your vessel may accumulate static charge through friction with the air. To
prevent a damaging discharge through the NMEA 2000® network, use a conducting
wire to connect the Earth-ground connection point (B) on the Triton™ Edge™ to
a point on the hull that is in electrical contact with the water. This will
ground the unit and network via a bleed path, allowing excess charge to
dissipate safely. This precaution is recommended if you are using a wired NMEA
2000® wind sensor or mast head unit, however, may not be required for a
wireless wind sensor.
NMEA 2000® (C)
Use the NMEA 2000® connector (C) with the drop cable and tee connector
(supplied) to connect the Triton™ Edge™ to your vessel’s NMEA 2000® network.
The network should already have a dedicated 12 V DC power supply, protected by
a 3 A fuse.
The following guidelines apply:
- the length of a single drop cable must not exceed 6 m (20 ft). The total length of all drop cables combined must not exceed 78 m (256 ft).
- terminators must be installed at each end of the backbone.
- the total length of the network must not exceed 100 m (328 ft).

- NMEA 2000® display or sensor
- NMEA 2000® drop cable
- Power supply for Triton™ Edge™
- Power supply for NMEA 2000® network
- NMEA 2000® backbone
Ethernet (D)
Use the Ethernet port (D) to connect the Triton™ Edge™ to a display or
computer, or to an Ethernet expansion device on a network. It is also possible
to connect to the sailing processor wirelessly, using its Wi-Fi® hotspot.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for instructions.
