Important:
Use of an incorrect power cable size will reduce
the power supplied to the drive unit and could
cause your autopilot to malfunction. If in doubt,
use a heavier gauge cable. Keep cable runs to a
minimum where possible, and also observe the
guidance provided in the location requirements
section of this document.
Drive (motor) connection — ACU-100,
ACU-150
Motor connection
The motor connects to the connection panel of the
ACU.
Note:
The connection colors for the motor cables may be
different depending on the motor type.
Motor power output
ACU-100
ACU-150
7 A (maximum continuous
output)
12 A (maximum continuous
output)
Note:
The motor output has full short-circuit and
over-current protection. Should either of the motor
output connections be shorted to ground, there
should be no permanent damage to the autopilot.
SeaTalkng® connection — ACU-100,
ACU-150
The ACU connects to the SeaTalkng® backbone
using the supplied Spur cable.
