Simrad AP25 Autopilot
76 20221495F
3.11 Control unit installation
Avoid mounting the control unit(s) where it is easily exposed to
sunlight, as this will shorten the lifetime of the display. If this is
not possible, make sure the units are always covered with the
white protection cover when not used.
Caution ! Do not install the control unit where moisture at the rear can
be present. It could cause damage by entering the breathing
hole or by coming into contact with the electrical connectors.
Panel mounting
The mounting surface must be flat and even to within 0.5
mm.
• Drill the 4 mounting holes and make a panel cut-out
according to supplied template.
• Use the supplied gasket (P.N. 22084693) between the
panel and the unit.
• Use the supplied 19 mm screws to fasten the control
unit to the panel.
• Apply the front panel corners.
• Connect the Robnet2 cable(s) to the control
unit connector(s).
Alternative panel mounting
This way of mounting may be simpler, but will lift the unit
from the panel surface. When installed adjacent to Simrad
equipment there will be a 5,5 mm (0,22”) difference in
height between the autopilot and the other equipment.
• Use the template and drill hole(s) only for the
connectors.
• Place the thick gasket (P.N. 22086029) between panel
and unit, correctly orientated (see marking on gasket).
• Follow above panel mounting instructions but use the
supplied 32 mm screws to fasten the control unit to the
panel
Do not over-tighten the mounting screws!
