46 ST5000 Plus SailPilot Owner’s Handbook
Cable connectors
• All connections, except for the SeaTalk cables, are made via spade
connectors.
• When fitting the spade connectors, make sure the connector fits
securely over the blade and not between the connector and its plastic
insulating boot – incorrect fitting will give intermittent contact
which will lead to faulty autopilot operation.
Power supply connection
• The control head requires its own dedicated power supply. It cannot
source power from SeaTalk, and must supply the power to the rest of
the SeaTalk system.
• The ST5000 Plus is supplied with a 2 m (6.5 ft) power lead
terminated with 6 mm (1/4 in) spade connectors.
• A 20 A circuit breaker or fuse must be fitted to the +12 V supply.
