Autopilot computer installation
The autopilot computer is designed to operate in a
location with ambient temperatures below +55°C
(+130°F).
The autopilot computer units (AC12 and AC42) should be
mounted vertically in a place between the control unit and
the drive unit. The unit should not be exposed to dripping
or splashing water.

Cabling
Use only shielded cables and ready made SimNet cables
and accessories. This includes motor supply, drive unit
cables and, if necessary, extension of the optional rudder
feedback cable(s). The clutch/bypass cable and the
solenoid cable should be 1,5 mm
2
(AWG14).
The motor supply cable and the drive unit motor cable
should have sufficient wire gauge. This will minimize
voltage drop and allow the drive unit to operate at full
power.
