3 INSTALLATION
3.1 General
This section provides detailed information required to
successfully installing the AP16 Autopilot system.
The basic AP16 system includes only three modules that need to
be mounted in different locations on the boat, and also need to
interface with at least three different systems on the boat:
− The Volvo IPS system
− The boats electrical system (input power)
− Other equipment on board (GPS/Chart plotter etc.)
In addition, the advanced capabilities of the AP16 require the
installer to perform a series of settings and tests to verify proper
operation of the system, refer to the check list below.
