for buying the Glendinning Cablemaster. At Glendinning, we are committed to providing you, our customer, with a product that will yield trouble-free service. Care has been taken during each phase of the manufacturing process to guarantee a lifetime of quality and performanceafter all, our name is on it!

THANK YOU...

Welcome to the Glendinning family of quality marine products. Your new Cablemaster carries the same assurance of quality that has stood behind every product from Glendinning Marine Products for over 30 yearswere proud of our reputation for quality products and service. While installation on most boats is straight forward and easy, for those perplexing situations, nothing beats a qualified marine electrician. Using common sense about safety and a sound mechanical approach during the installation, the Cablemaster will provide many hours of trouble-free service. All Cablemasters have been designed to pay out and retract shore power cables without overloading the motor within the systems power unit. Properly adjusted, a Cablemaster will drag 75 feet (maximum) of shore power cable without slippage. The Cablemaster consists of two major components; the hawse pipe and power unit. The chromed hawse pipe is designed to accommodate varying sizes of shore power cables with the attached 30 or 50amp shore power plug cover. Within the hawse pipe, a neoprene gasket/wiper prevents the entrance of water and helps clean the cable as it is retracted into the boat. When the cable is retracted completely, the plug cover actuates the in-limit switch which is mounted on the face of the gasket plate inside the hawse pipe. The drive motor, reduction gearing, guide roller assembly and the relay assembly comprise the power unit. The power unit is connected to the hawse pipe with a hawse pipe clamp and a length of extruded aluminum angle. The hawse pipe clamp allows the power unit to be angled to either side of vertical directing the shore power cable toward the storage compartment. The main pulley of the Cablemaster is also freewheeling which allows the cable to be manually payed in or out. The out-limit switch is located in the guide roller assembly. The nylon safety collar, which is installed around the shore power cable, activates the out-limit switch. This collar also serves as a mechanical stopping device should the limit switch fail or should the shore power cable be forcibly pulled outward.

All Cablemasters are designed to eliminate the physically demanding task of paying out and coiling up your shore power cable. Powered extension and retraction is available at the flip of a switch! There are 3 models to choose from: 1) CM-4 Cablemaster the CM-4 was designed to handle 30 amp shore power cable. The CM-4 usually comes attached to its own storage container to make installation as easy as possible. You may also order the CM-4 with TV / telephone cable installed instead of 30 amp shore power cable.

3 MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM:

2) CM-7 Cablemaster the CM-7 (the workhorse of the Cablemaster line) was designed to handle 50 amp shore power cable.

3) CM-8 Cablemaster the CM-8 is our heavy duty version of the CM-7. The CM-8 will handle 100 amp shore power cable. You definitely dont want to be extending and retracting this heavy cable by hand!

All of these units can be configured to your boats specifications by utilizing the many accessories which aid in installation and operation of the Cablemaster. CM-7 (for 50 amp cable) CM-4 (for 30 amp cable)

BEFORE installing your Cablemaster, consider the following three points:

INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1

Perhaps the prime consideration in determining the best location for mounting your Glendinning Cablemaster is to remember that the key to a good installation is allowing enough room for the shore power cable to coil without restriction. The power unit should be mounted directly over the storage container, but may be offset a maximum of 20 degrees where space deems it to be necessary. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind when looking at your boat. A. 30 amp cable 14 x 14 (see Fig. 1) 1. For 50 feet of 30 amp 10/3, a minimum of 15 is required from guide roller assembly to the bottom of container. Fig. 1 B. 50 amp cable 18 x 18 (see Fig. 1) 1. For 75 feet of 50 amp 6/4, a minimum of 23 is required from the guide roller assembly to the bottom of the storage container. 18 is required from the guide roller assembly to the bottom of the storage container if a 15 x 22 diameter container is used. Molded Styrene Containers are available from GMP A. Heavy duty garbage barrel B. Round baitwell C. Any enclosed area free of tubing, wiring or structural projections allowing the cable to freefall may be used. (Glueing strips of formica to 1 x 2 or 2 x 2 may be suitable in applications where the storage area is close to the rough inside surface of a fiberglass hull) D. Molded styrene containers (18 - 22 in diameter and in varying heights) are available from Glendinning Marine Products, Inc. (see accessory page) MINIMUM CABLE STORAGE AREA: Guide Roller

LOCATION FOR POWER UNIT & CABLE :

Typically, the Cablemaster can be installed almost anywhere on your boat!

SUITABLE STORAGE CONTAINERS:

14 dia. for 30 amp OR 18 dia. for 50 amp

Also be careful to remember that the selection of the hawse pipe location is in a large measure determined by the proper location of the power unit and cable storage area. Be sure that the hawse pipes location is practical for common dockage situations. Avoid a location where the shore power cable could present an obstacle on decks or passageways when in use.

HAWSE PIPE & POWER CORD PLUG EXIT :

Prior to the installation of the Cablemaster, consider how the unit is connected to the boats electrical system (see drawing right). The blunt cut end of the power cable should exit the bottom of the cable storage area. This end can be connected to the Power Transfer Switch which automatically To Yacht AC switches power for your boats electrical system between System the on-board generator and the shore power cable hook-up, or connected to a junction box. The Cablemaster is now hard-wired to your boats elecPower Transfer trical system. It is no longer necessary to use the power Swtich cord connection that was part of your yachts power system. The power cable must be connected to the boat AC electrical system in accordance with the instructions contained Cable exits in the National Electrical Code. Care should be taken when from bottom of storage installing the white stop collar to ensure that no strain will be Cable storage area area placed upon the power cable connection to the electrical From system. (NOTE: Leave 1/2 coil in storage container when Generator stop collar activates out limit switch.)

CONNECTION TO THE BOAT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM :

The Cablemaster works best when the power unit is mounted directly above the storage container. This will ensure proper cable extension and retraction and is recommended providing storage space is available where hawse pipe is to be mounted (Fig. 2). HORIZONTAL EXTENSION When storage space is not available directly under the power unit, the power unit can be moved away from the hawse pipe. The standard and shortest length of the connection between the power unit and the hawse pipe is 6 5/8. This connection may be extended up to 16 through the use of the optional long angle link (CM accessory). The power unit can also be remote mounted up to 12* away from the hawse pipe using the optional horizontal pipe extension and a length of 3 schedule 40 PVC pipe (Fig. 3). In both of these configurations, the power unit will require additional mounting support. An overhead mounting bracket is available which allows the power unit to be remote mounted to the overhead.

Horizontal Extension

Schedule 40 3 dia PVC pipe is also recommended when the shore cable is being directed vertically through the deck. In this installation it is necessary to use the optional vertical pipe extension (see accessory page) and to remove the guide roller assembly from the power unit and relocate it to the bottom of the pipe extension. Since this contains the out-limit switch, it is also necessary to reconnect the out-limit switch by extending the wire to the relay box (Fig. 4). OTHER INSTALLATION OPTIONS Any number of mounting arrangements can be accomplished using the PVC pipe to remote mount the power unit or guide the shore power cable below deck. The mounting possibilities are further enhanced by the fact that the shore power cable can be directed to the right or left of vertical by adjusting the U-clamps on the hawse pipe (Fig. 5). NOTE: A pipe to pipe angle assembly is available where a straight pipe cannot be used between the hawse pipe and power unit. This angle connector may be used in the horizontal or vertical pipe and is equipped with rollers to provide minimal cable friction. It will work satisfactorily up to 30* degrees (see accessory page).

Vertical Extension

Figure 4

Figure 5 Figure 6

NOTE: The side angle adjustment should not exceed 45 degrees and the use of standard PVC elbows is not recommended as they tend to restrict the movement of the cable within the pipe.

Selection of the hawse pipe location is in a large measure determined by the proper location of the power unit and cable storage area. Be sure that the hawse pipes location is practical for common dockage situations. Avoid a location where the shore power cable could present an obstacle on decks or passageways when in use. An optional recessed mounting bezel is available which allows the hawse pipe to be flush mounted (see accessory page). Shown at right (Fig. 6 & 7) are other installation possibilities for mounting the power unit and directing the cable to the storage area.

The Cablemaster system must be mounted in a location that is protected from the marine environment and is certified ignition protected for placement in engine rooms. For ideas on specific locations for your boat, contact our service engineer. Using the drawing included with your manual, mark the mounting location of the hawse pipe. Before drilling or cutting, check once again to be certain that the area behind the hawse pipe is free of wires, plumbing or structural supports for the boat. The mounting surface should be a minimum 1/2 thick. The proper thickness can be achieved by using a butt block of marine grade plywood behind the mounting surface. Cut the hawse pipes 3-5/8 center hole and drill the four 1/4 mounting holes. Using a good quality marine beading compound, secure the hawse pipe to the boat using the four (4) 1/4 x 20 x 1 stainless steel machine screws, washers, nuts and gasket supplied with the Cablemaster or use longer fasteners that are available locally. The power unit may now be mounted to the hawse pipe using the angle link, the hawse pipe clamp, and U-bolts. In remote power unit installations, the 3 schedule 40 PVC pipe is secured to the power unit using the same standard components adding also the accessories for horizontal pipe extension in order to connect the PVC pipe to the hawse pipe (see Fig. 3 previous page). Unless the shore power cable is being directed vertically through a PVC pipe, you are now ready to wire the Cablemaster to the boats DC electrical system. If the shore power cable is being directed vertically through PVC pipe (see drawing below) it is necessary to relocate the guide roller assembly with the out-limit switch from the bottom of the power unit to the lower end of the PVC pipe. Wires of appropriate length will have to be spliced into the system to insure the operation of the out-limit switch. A guide roller assembly without the out-limit switch, included in the vertical pipe extension accessory, must be installed between the power unit and the PVC pipe to provide trouble free operation (see accessory page).

SECOND, overcurrent protection (fuse or circuit breaker) must be provided in the power supply to the Cablemaster. On 12v DC systems, a 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker should be used; on 24v DC systems, a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker is required. In addition to providing electrical overload protection, a separate breaker for the Cablemaster allows the unit to be turned off thus preventing the unauthorized use of the unit when left unattended. This is especially IMPORTANT if the switch is located where it can easily be actuated by children. Follow the instructions below for the specific model you purchased: WIRING THE CM-4 strip.

If the shore power cable is being directed through the vertical pipe extension, it is necessary to relocate the guide roller assembly with the out-limit switch from the power unit to the lower end of the vertical pipe and to reconnect the out-limit switch using the appropriate lengths of wire (NOTE: Failure to install the nylon safety collar and rewire the out-limit switch can result in damage to the shore power cables electrical connection). The 3 conductor cable for the power switch is color coded to correspond with the terminal strip on the relay assembly. For convenience and ease of operation, the power switch should be mounted near the hawse pipe or in the appropriate hole with the optional bezel (see accessories). In each case, the power switch must be protected by the neoprene cover to prevent the intrusion of moisture. The relay box is mounted on a sub-plate and may be attached to the power unit cover screws in two ways (see label on sub-plate). This provides easy access in making wiring connections. If desirable, it may also be mounted on a bulkhead close by to the power unit making sure that the connecting wires are fastened away from the pulley and rollers. NOTE 1

NOTE 2: Do not attach voltage wires to the motor wires while they are still fastened to the barrier strip. This will cause a short in the relay assembly. Remove the motor wires from the barrier strip then connect battery power to the motor wires for check-out of motor operation.

Before installing the power cable into the Cablemaster, stretch the cable out in a straight line on a smooth surface to remove any kinks or unnatural coils. Feed the blunt cut end of the cable into the power unit. Retract the power cable, using the power switch or manually. Before connecting the power cable to boats AC electrical system, secure the nylon safety collar and refer to the Cable Adjustment section below to pre-adjust the pulley to the proper cable size and to insure trouble-free operation of your Cablemaster. The power cable should be firmly strapped down, using metal or heavy duty plastic wiring straps, to the bottom of the cable storage area so that in no way will the Cablemaster pull on the power cables electrical connection. In actual usage of your Cablemaster, you will find that the power cable is seldom payed out completely. Because of this, it is advisable to occasionally pay out the cable completely and allow the cable to recoil into its natural coil.

POWER CABLE INSTALLATION

The power cable must be connected to your boats AC electrical system in accordance with the instructions contained in the National Electrical Code. Care should be taken when adjusting the out-limit collar to ensure that no strain will be placed upon the power cable connection to the electrical system.

Shore power cable diameters vary from one cable manufacturer to another, the Cablemasters main pulley is split in half and proper friction adjustment between the cable and main pulley is necessary at the time of installation. Too tight adjustment will overload the motor. On the other hand, too loose an adjustment will result in slippage of the cable or no movement of the cable.

CABLE ADJUSTMENT

SIDE VIEW

The Cablemaster should be able to pay in and out the cable without any slippage or any undue strain depending on the installation, and distance from the Hawse Pipe to the Cablemaster. Some assistance will be required when extending power cord on long extension runs or multiple bend installations. Retracting the power cord should not be any problem. To adjust the friction between the main pulley and the power cable follow the instructions below:

Remove 4 nuts & lockwashers on face of Main pulley REAR VIEW Remove outer half of Main pulley Add or remove spacers from each (4) bolts

*When adjusting pulley friction, only add (decreases tension) or remove (increases tension) one (1) spacer from each bolt before checking the unit for the correct pulley friction. One spacer makes a substantial difference in cable tension.

1) Remove the 1/4 nuts and lockwashers from the face of the main pulley and remove the outer pulley half. 2) Remove or add* only equal amounts of spacers for each bolt. 3) Replace the pulley half and secure the nuts.

WARNING: It is extremely important that the wiring of the power cord to your boats electrical system be done properly. If there is any uncertainty as to the proper methods of working with AC wiring, a qualified and competent electrician should do this wiring. Failure to wire correctly may result in DEATH, INJURY, OR DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR VESSEL. In all electrical applications, minimizing the entrance or accumulation of moisture or water is of prime importance. Junction boxes, receptacles, breakers and other enclosures in which electrical connections are made should be waterproof or be installed in a protected area.
To Boat AC System Power Transfer Swtich Cable exits from bottom of storage container

AC WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Electricity enters the boat through the power cable. The cable is connected to the Power Transfer Switch which automatically switches power for your boats electrical system between the on-board generator and the shore power cable hook up. The Power Transfer Switch is then connected to the AC panel board through a main circuit breaker. The power is transferred to the various branch circuits by way of individual branch circuit breakers.

From Generator

Cable storage area

Good practice when installing the Cablemaster is to place a waterproof circuit breaker in the system on the boats exterior in close proximity to the Cablemaster hawse pipe. This circuit breaker automatically interrupts the flow of current if the current exceeds the amount the circuit is designed to handle (ie: 30amp or 50amp). This is common practice recommended by ABYC where the distance from the shore power cable inlet is more than 10 away from the AC panelboard.

When two Cablemaster units are used on port and starboard installations, the shore power cables must be wired through an approved rotary transfer switch before connection to the main circuit breaker on the AC panelboard. This will provide a safe interlock when switching from one shoreside power source to another.

Remember also that your boats AC electrical system is polarized. Polarization of conductors must be observed in the shore cable connections and throughout the entire AC system.

Experience has shown that when only a short section of the power cable is regularly used, the cable may be subject to sharper than normal coiling which in turn causes undue kinking of the cable. To relieve this condition, routinely pay the cable out completely and stretch it on any smooth surface. Allow the Cablemaster to then retract the cable into the cable storage area. At least once a year, check all AC and DC wiring connections to be sure they are secure and free of corrosion. Check the neoprene covers on the in-limit switch and power switch to be sure they are free of cracks or fracture. Periodically, inspect the exterior jacket of your shore power cable for nicks or cuts. If your shore power cable is dirty DO NOT USE any cleaner that will leave a waxy film on the shore power cable. The waxy film will cause slippage between the Cablemasters main pulley and your shore power cable. It is recommended to use a mild soap and water to clean your cable.
