22 S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide
Connecting wires
When you need to join wires, use the either the supplied Scotchlock connectors or terminal
block, as appropriate.
Note:
Scotchlock connectors are suitable for joining thin, data wires. They are NOT suitable for
connecting the safety alarm.
S1000 Autopilot Grounding
The S1000 Autopilot system requires an RF ground connection to be made, to ensure
complete conformance with the EU regulations requirements AFTER installation. The RF
ground connection is also essential to maintain the electromagnetic performance of the
system in all installations, regardless of local regulations requirements (world wide).
Failure to provide an RF ground when the S1000 Autopilot is installed could result in a
degraded electromagnetic performance and may affect the operation of the system.
The recommended MINIMUM requirement for an RF ground lead is:
• Flat, tinned copper braid, 0.25 inch (6.5 mm) width minimum. Equivalent stranded wire
diameter 0.16 inch (4 mm)
