1.10 Secure the cables
S1 systems
To prevent strain on the connector blocks, secure the cables to the SmartPilot
computer with cable ties as shown below.
S2 and S3 systems
When you have connected all autopilot system components, we recommend that
you use the supplied cable clamp to relieve any strain on the cable connections.
Referring to the illustrations below, secure the cables with the cable clamp as
follows:
1. Hold the cable clamp in place below the computer, making sure:
• its center hole is below the center of the computer (i.e. in line with the con-
nector cover catch)
• it is at least 50 mm (2 in) from the bottom of the 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.
