When the Distribution Unit is supplied with additional outputs or
additional functions, this is indicated on the identification label on
the front.
Note ! In systems where analogue output is required, the Rudder Feedback Unit is
omitted.
Mounting
The unit has 4 screw holes for mounting, and should be placed as near
the Control Unit as practicable. It can also be mounted inside the
console.
Electrical connections
The DC unit has power input for 24V DC.
For AC mains connection an AC Adapter (not Simrad Robertson
supply) must be connected between the mains source and the
Distribution Unit.
For electrical connections refer to External Cabling Diagram and
External Wiring Diagram, section 8.
Screen termination
Terminate the feedback cable screen to ST6 on the Screen termination
board. Cable screen of cable from the control unit J1 should be
connected to the ST7 and the cable screen of cable from the control unit
J2 should be connected to ST8.
Other cable screens are connected to ST1-ST5.
The distribution unit has an external ground terminal an must have a
proper ground connection to the hull. The grounding wire should be
as short as possible and at least 10 mm wide.
Bus cable connection
When an extra PCB (SSB or Dual Analogue) has to be fitted inside the
D9X box in the “bottom row”, a bus extension cable (FUA9X Bus
Cable P/N 23602857) must be used. The bus cable is made to
interconnect the “output” (left bus-plug) of the “upper row” to the
“output” (left bus-plug) of the “lower” row as shown below.
