Raymarine 150/400 manual Clamp the Cables

30 Type 150/400 Autopilot System: Installation Guide

Step 8: Clamp the Cables

When you have connected all autopilot system components to the course computer, we recommend that you use the supplied cable clamp to relieve any strain on the cable connections.

Secure the cables with the cable clamp as follows:

1.Hold the cable clamp in place below the course computer, making sure:

•its center hole is below the center of the course computer (i.e. in line with the connector cover catch)

•it is between at least 50 mm (2 in) from the bottom of the course computer

•the hole locations are clear of any cables

2.Mark the position of the three holes, then remove the cable clamp.

3.Drill the three pilot holes using a 3 mm (1/8 in) drill bit.

4.Secure the cable clamp using the self-tapping screws supplied (No 8 x 3/4 in, pan-head), making sure:

•the tie-wrap securing loops are on the right (below the POWER and MOTOR terminals on the course computer)

•the clamp securely holds all cables

•the legs on cable clamp do not pinch any of the cables

Note: If the power and/or motor cables are larger than 5 mm (1/4 in) diameter, secure them on top of the cable clamp with the tie-wrap supplied. Make sure the tie-wrap sits above the cables (as shown below), so it pulls the cables against the clamp when tightened.
