Installation instructions
Before you start installing your SportPilot system, use the illustration to check the
parts supplied. Then read through the following information and the relevant
installation sections in this chapter.
Cabling guidelines
• consider how you will run cables to and from each component
• avoid running cables through bilges where possible
• avoid running cables close to fluorescent lights, engines, radio transmitting
equipment etc.
EMC suppression ferrites
We supply the fluxgate compass and power cables with suppression ferrites
fitted. Always use these ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
During installation you should position these ferrites as close as possible to the
SportPilot, just behind the bulkhead. You may need to remove the ferrites during
installation. If you do so, you MUST reassemble them around the cable when
installation is complete.
