AP51 Remote Control Connection
If the AP51 Remote Control is part of the system, use the
RobNet connector in a free receptacle (see Figure 4-21).
Alternatively, cut the connector from the cable and connect the
wires in parallel with the cable shown on Figure 4-23 using the
same color code.
Note ! The AP51 cable contains a ventilation tube. Check that the tube
is open after you have cut the cable.
AP51 in a Wheelmark System
In a Wheelmark system, only the Master Unit may turn the
system off. To ensure that the system cannot be switched on or
off from the AP51 Remote Control Unit, the yellow wire in the
AP51 cable must be cut or not connected. Open the RobNet
connector (see Figure 4-22). Remove pin 3 (yellow wire) and cut
it off at the end of the wire. Insulate the wire and push it back in
the pin 3 slot. Reassemble the RobNet connector.
JP21 Jack Point Installation
The JP21 Jack Point can be used in conjunction with the AP51
Remote Control Unit.
It provides a quick and simple means of connection and
disconnection of the AP51 at different locations on the boat.
The JP21 includes a watertight connector cover that must be
installed as shown below. A 32 mm (1.26 inch diameter) hole
must be drilled for flush installation, along with 3 small screw
holes. As indicated, a watertight sealant must be applied to the
mating surfaces of the JP21 and the mounting panel. Apply a
thin layer of Vaseline to the O-ring seal.
