description

The Advanced Control Processor (ACP) Unit contains all the electronics for the autopilot operation and control of the rudder drive options. It is designed to be mounted on a vertical, flat, smooth surface. The unit has a hinged lid to provide easy access to the electrical connections.

siting the acp unit

ξIt is recommended that the ACP unit be mounted with the cable entries downwards. It must not be mounted with the cable entries uppermost as water may run down the cables and into the unit.

ξEnsure that there is sufficient space to allow the unit to be hinged open to make connections to terminals inside, and that the hinges of the two halves of the case may be slid apart.

ξSelect a position sheltered from the direct effects of the environment and from physical damage.

ξDo not mount the unit within 1m (3ft) of engines, starter motors and cables, and other cables carrying heavy currents, etc., or 3m (10ft) of Radar or SSB installation cables.

mounting procedure

ξUndo the two screws at the corner of the unit, and open fully.

ξThe hinges are designed to come apart. This enables the electronics to be split from the base of the unit; i.e. the connection and terminal blocks.

ξDisconnect the cables between the two halves of the casing.

ξFirmly push the two halves of the computer unit apart.

ξUsing the base of the unit as a template, mark the positions of the three mounting screw holes.

ξUsing the self-tapping screws provided secure the base of the unit in position.

ξPush the two halves of the unit together again and reconnect the cables.
