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.

It 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.
x
Ensure 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.
x
Select a position sheltered from the direct effects of the environment and from physical damage.
x
Do 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
x
Undo the two screws at the corner of the unit, and open fully.

the unit; i.e. the connection and terminal blocks.

Disconnect the cables between the two halves of the casing.
x
Firmly push the two halves of the computer unit apart.
x
Using the base of the unit as a template, mark the positions of the three mounting screw holes.
