Installation
20222410 / B 11
Use the enclosed template (Drawing 22011225) to drill the
required mounting holes. The unit is fastened to the mounting
base by the two Allen screws enclosed (other types of screws may
be used if it is to be fastened to another type of base, i.e. a
wooden base).
Make the parallelogram configuration of the transmission link
(see Figure 2-6) and temporarily fasten the link to the RF45X
shaft. The transmission rod can be shortened by cutting off a
piece using a hacksaw. Move the rudder manually hard over to
hard over and make sure the transmission link is moving freely in
both directions.
Electrical Connection
Use a twisted-pair shielded cable, 0.5 mm
2
(AWG20), between
the breakout box and the JD5X Distribution Unit. The cable
length is not critical but should be kept to a minimum.
The cable should be connected to the distribution unit according
to
Figure 2-7. When splicing the cables in the breakout box,
crimp the enclosed pins on each wire of the extension cable to
avoid cutting off the wires at the terminal point when the screws
are tightened.
The screen must be connected in the distribution unit.
Note ! The green and yellow wires are not used and must be isolated!
For final alignment, see page 13.
