CHAPTER 3 INSTALLATION

Before proceeding with the installation, check the contents of the shipment to ensure
that all components ordered are present and undamaged. If a steering motor or
hydraulic drive is included, check that its voltage rating is suitable for the vessel's
supply. Read all of this chapter before starting and then follow this step-by-step guide:

1. Mount the Junction Box as described in Sect 3.1. Take care that the

polarity of the battery wires is correct and that the metal parts of the
terminal blocks grip the wires and not the insulation.

2. Mount the Controller as per Sect 3.2.

3. Mount the Compass as described in Sect 3.3. Take care to keep it away

from the sources of magnetic interference.

4. Mount the Rudder Transducer as shown in Sect 3.4 Ensure that the

linkage geometry is correct and if it is in a storage area, ensure that heavy
objects will not fall on the linkage.

5. Install and connect any additional attachments as described in Sect 3.5.

(Or, if preferred, these could be installed after initial commissioning.)

6. Install the steering drive as described in Sect 3.6

7. Apply power to the Junction Box. Now turn to Section 2.2 of this Manual -

Getting Started - and carry out the initial setup.
