Installation
The Remote Expander should be mounted under the dash in a
dry
location. The 10 foot cable
attached to the Expander must be able to reach the rear of the Autopilot.
1. Mount the Expander using four fasteners (not provided), suitable for the surface
being used; the fasteners go in the holes in the lips at the case’s bottom edges.
2. Route the cable which is attached to the Expander over to the Autopilot, and plug it
into the Remote connector.
3. Plug up four Remote Controls into the receptacles on the Expander.
