Onwa Marine Electronics KAP-833 - Manual (Page 20)

1 6 Installation of Main Unit
Position
The KAP-833 main panel should be mounted in an accessible position, protected
from rain or salt water.
Wiring
Access for wiring must be provided. Cabling will have to be run to the rudder
feed back Unit, compass unit and steering drive system. Wiring should be kept
as far away as possible from radio aerials and aerial cables to prevent interference
to the radio, and to prevent transmitted signals from the radio influencing the pilot.
The power source for the autopilot should be fused separately from other
equipment. Maintain conventional colour coding and, if necessary, mark the
cables for ease of identification.
Connection - As per diagram labelled Connection Diagram for KAP-833.
Magnetic Effect
As a minimum amount of steel is used in the control unit. there is negligible
effect on a steering compass. Some radio interference may be caused and the
routing of cables should be considered when wiring the vessel.
