Disconnect the plugs.
6. Remove the four Phillips screws holding the inner end cap.
7. Hold the left hand inner end cap. Slide
the Processor case to the right. This will
expose the circuit board.
8. The fuse is located on the top left hand
corner of the board. If it is damaged,
replace it with a 20 Ampere AGC fuse.
9. Reassemble the Processor by working
through the above steps in reverse
order. Recheck your power polarity
before you insert the power
connector.
10. Before leaving the dock, turn on the
Autopilot. Press the Red and Green
Keys to move the rudder or outboard
motor. If the new fuse fails at this time,
you still have an electrical problem on
your boat, or the Autopilot needs repair.
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.
For ease of wiring, it is recommended that
the Processor be mounted horizontally
rather than vertically.
The first method is:
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.
The second method is:
Mount the processor in its location.
Plug the terminal strips and wires into the
correct locations.
Attach the end pieces. Do not damage any
wires while tightening the screws. Tighten the
nuts on the watertight glands firmly with your
hands. If you must use a tool, be very careful.
It is very easy to damage the glands by using
too much force.
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 24 if you have not
already decided on a ground.
The Installation of the SP-70 or SP-80 is
complete. You are now ready to begin the
"Set-up Routine".
