The side of the instrument control panel at the helm, Figure 3, 8,
commonly serves as a convenient location for the monitor. This location is
reasonably sheltered from excessive spray and is convenient for observation.
The unit, however, should be located at least three feet from the magnetic
compass if one is onboard. This will eliminate interaction between the compass
and the CAPAC
®
meter.
Other suitable locations in the bilge or in various places in the cabin may
be considered as alternates.
After a location has been selected for the unit, and an inspection has been
made to ascertain that no interference will existing installations will be
encountered, proceed to install the controller as follows:
1. Using the template supplied, Figure 3.7, locate the cutout for the
“Monitor”.
2. Pass the two cables to be connected to the Monitor (Figure 3.6), up
through the cutout.
3. Cut the cables so that approximately one foot of each protrudes from
the helm and connect to CAPAC
®
Monitor.
Dee Cee Tran Voltage Converter Installation
(If furnished)
The Dee Cee Tran is to be installed in the same manner as the controller.
Strip and connect the cables according to Figure 1 in Dee Cee Tran Manual.
The connections to the Dee Cee Tran are as follows:
Input Terminal – plus (+) lead from 24 or 32V DC source
GND (ground) terminal – to hull or bonding system.
Output Terminal – Plus (+) lead to 90W12D controller.
System Instructions
1. On wood hulls, it is necessary that all underwater appendages be
bonded to from a common cathode which is, in turn, connected to
the negative terminal of the 12V DC source which powers the
CAPAC
®
unit. This bonding should be done with Number 8 gauge
wire or larger. It is preferable that the fittings, including the rudder
post, be soldered to the wire rather than only screwed or bolted to
