TMQ AP56 - SS37
Installation
Main Display Unit
Position:
The Display Unit is water resistant but
not waterproof.
• Select a dry position with access to
the steering position
•
Ensure this position is not affected
by water
•
Cut a 75mm diameter hole (2.5
inches) in the panel where the
display is to be mounted
• Mount display and fasten with
four corner screws, DO NOT over
tighten screws as this may damage
the display
•
Route display cable to C-Drive
amplifier
•
Connect cable to NMEA socket on
C-drive
•
For feeding C-Drive with NMEA
data via AP56 head, connect an
external device which provides
this data, such as an electronic
compass, to the other available
connector of AP56 head. Does
not matter to which connector the
C- Drive and the external NMEA
device are connected to.
NOTE:
When routing cable keep
as far away as possible from radio
aerial and aerial cables to prevent
interference to the autopilot. Cables
should also be kept clear of heavy
current carrying cables.
Second Station Display Unit
It is important to note that displays
are connected in series (daisy chain)
format.
Connect the displays in series
choosing one of the two connectors
in each one.
The remaining connector of one
of them must be connected to the
NMEA port of C-Drive, then, the
remaining connector of the other
head can be connected to an NMEA
data device, such as a GPS, or a
electronic compass.
The data provided by this last device
will be forwarded to C-Drive module
via the AP56 heads.
AP56 Display Connections
NOTE:
Both connector sockets of
the AP56 have the same functions,
i.e., the power supply and the
communication pins.
Once a power supply is connected
to one connector, it can’t be connect
another power supply to the other,
as the pins for the power are
connected internally between the two
connectors.
