switched power to roll servo


Notes:

1.

All power and data wiring is #22 AWG

2.

The circuit breaker used to provide power for these inputs should be sized according to the size of the wire
being used to provide power to the circuit. A 5 amp circuit breaker/fuse is appropriate for the EZ Pilot.
