components and parts are present according to the packing list.

• AP16 Control unit with standard installation accessories and
one 10 m (33') Robnet2 cable
• AC05 Autopilot computer with
– Interconnection cable to Volvo IPS 1 m (3’)
• RC36 Rate Compass with 15 m (49') cable attached.
• Three autopilot manuals (use the AP16 manual)

installation.
3.4 Determine system configuration
It is important to become familiar with the configuration of the
system prior to beginning the installation. The AP16 system
layout with options is shown in Figure 3-1
As m
any of the units are communicating on a common network
(Robnet2), with identical connectors, the installation is
simplified. Try to mount the units within the standard cable
length supplied with each unit, if possible. Robnet2 Extension
Cable (10m) and Robnet2 T-Joiner are available from your
Simrad dealer.
