ComNav Marine 1420 Autopilot System
Mounting the Processor
Once you have completed and checked
the wiring, you are ready to mount the
Processor.
There are two ways this can be done,
depending on the amount of space you
have. The first method will usually be
easier.
1) The first method:
• Plug the terminal strips into their
correct positions on the processor.
• Attach the end pieces. Do not cut or
crimp any wires while tightening the
screws. Tighten the nuts on the
watertight glands. Tighten these
nuts firmly with your hand. If you
must use a tool, be very careful. It is
very easy to damage the glands by
using too much force.
• Mount the Processor in its location.
2) The second method:

hands. If you must use a tool, be
very careful. It is very easy to
damage the glands by using too
much force.
During the first year of use, check that
the glands are hand-tight, after 6 and
after 12 months of operation.
Check yearly thereafter.
Powering Up the System
Turn on the breaker for the Autopilot or
connect the Power cable to the breaker.
The black wire connects to the
negative terminal. The white wire
connects to the positive terminal. The
green wire is ground. See page 14 if
you have not already decided on a
ground.
Congratulations!
The Installation of your Autopilot System
is complete. You are now ready to begin
the Setup Routine.
