4.3 Unpacking and handling
Care should be taken when unpacking and handling the
equipment. A visual inspection should be made to see that the
equipment has not been damaged during shipment and that all
components and parts are present according to the packing list.
A standard autopilot system will include:
• Control unit with standard installation accessories.
• Junction unit (J300X, J300X-40, J3000X) and one 15 m (49')
Robnet cable.
• RFC35 Fluxgate Compass with 15 m (49') cable attached.
• RF300 Feedback unit with 10 m (33') cable attached and
transmission rod.
• Appropriate drive unit for the installation (unless the autopilot
is going to operate an existing drive unit or solenoids).
• Optional equipment that may have been ordered for the
installation.
4.4 Determine the system configuration
It is important to become familiar with the configuration of the
system prior to beginning the installation. The autopilot system
layout with options is shown in Figure 4-1
Pay particular attention to the junction unit/drive unit
combinations on page 60 and the chart on page 11.
