Step 8:
Clamp the Cables
When you have connected all autopilot system components to the
course computer, we recommend that you use the supplied cable
clamp to relieve any strain on the cable connections.
Secure the cables with the cable clamp as follows:
1. Hold the cable clamp in place below the course computer, making
sure:
•
its center hole is below the center of the course computer (i.e.
in line with the connector cover catch)
•
it is between at least 50 mm (2 in) from the bottom of the
course computer
•
the hole locations are clear of any cables
2. Mark the position of the three holes, then remove the cable clamp.
3. Drill the three pilot holes using a 3 mm (
1
/
8
in) drill bit.
4. Secure the cable clamp using the self-tapping screws supplied
(No 8 x
3
/
4
in, pan-head), making sure:
•
the tie-wrap securing loops are on the right (below the
POWER
and
MOTOR
terminals on the course computer)
•
the clamp securely holds all cables
•
the legs on cable clamp do not pinch any of the cables
Note: If the power and/or motor cables are larger than 5 mm (
1
/
4
in)
diameter, secure them on top of the cable clamp with the tie-wrap
supplied. Make sure the tie-wrap sits above the cables (as shown
below), so it pulls the cables against the clamp when tightened.
