Type 150/400 Autopilot System: Installation Guide

Connecting cables to the terminals

Power and Motor terminals

The POWER and MOTOR terminals on Type 150/150G course computers accept stranded cable up to 4mm2 (12 AWG).

The POWER and MOTOR terminals on Type 400/400G course computers accept stranded cable up to 10 mm2 (8 AWG).

To secure cables in these terminals:

strip 8–10 mm (1/2 in) of insulation from the end of each cable

use a small screwdriver to loosen the screw on the terminal block

insert the stripped cable into the terminal

tighten the screw

Other terminals

Note: All other terminals on the course computer will accept stranded cable up to 2.5 mm2 (14 AWG).

To secure cables to the other terminals:

strip at least 5 mm (1/4 in) of insulation from the end of each cable

use a small screwdriver to push the small plastic lever on top of the terminal and release the cable clamp

insert the stripped cable

release the lever to grip the cable

Using the fuses

The POWER, MOTOR and SeaTalk terminals are fuse protected against short-circuits and misconnections. To change the fuses:

use the fuse puller (supplied in the case) to remove the fuse

replace the fuse with an appropriate spare fuse

Note: The course computer is supplied with three spare fuses fitted in the case. The fuses used in the course computer are standard automotive blade fuses, so you can easily obtain replacement fuses. Your Raymarine dealer can also provide a replacement fuse pack (part number: A18065).
