3.6.2. SOLENOID CONTROLLED HYDRAULICS
 The motor-drive output of the Junction Box is suitable for direct connection to flow-
control solenoids, provided that their operating voltage is the same as the supply 
voltage to the SW AP03 system and the solenoid current does no exceed 10A. The 
connections to the Junction Box are shown in Fig 3.12.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the solenoids, make sure that their wiring does not 
have connections to ground or any other part of the vessel's wiring.

3.6.3 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WITH REVERSING HYDRAULIC PUMP
 Connecting autopilot pumps to hydraulic systems from different manufacturers is 
not difficult and the following guidelines will be adequate for most installations. If there 
is a doubt about the correct way to proceed, consult the manufacturer of the steering 
gear.
The following installation schematics show an OPTIONAL LOCK VALVE. Though this 
is not essential for the normal operation of the system, it is an additional safeguard in 
the unlikely event of the failure of the pump. This valve isolates the system into two 
completely independent sources of steering power and, if required, can be supplied by 
your Distributor.
To connect the motor, simply use the pins “motor +” e “motor -”.
