1.4 Create a schematic diagram
As part of the preparation for installing your SPX-5R Drive system, we recommend
that you create a schematic diagram representing the system you want to install. This
will help ensure that you install a safe optimum system, and so is particularly
important if you intend connecting your autopilot to other electronic equipment.
The schematic diagram should include:
• Location of all components. See page v and page 7 for EMC guidelines that may
affect the location of specific components.
• Connectors, cable types, routes and lengths.
When you have completed the schematic diagram, you are ready to begin installing
the SPX-5 Drive system.
