Garmin GHP Reactor Hydraulic Autopilot Installation Instructions - Page 6

Corrosion Blocker NOTICE To ensure long life of all parts, apply corrosion blocker to the pump at least twice yearly. A marine-rated corrosion blocker should be applied to the pump after all hydraulic and electrical connections are made and the hydraulic system has been bled. Connecting the CCU 1 Route the connector end of the CCU cable to the ECU and make the connection. 2 Route the orange and blue wires from the bare-wire portion of the CCU cable to the location where you plan to install the alarm (Installing the Alarm). If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with 0.08 mm2 (28 AWG) wire. 3 Route the brown and black wires from the bare-wire portion of the CCU cable to the location where you plan to install the Shadow Drive (Installing the Shadow Drive). If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with 0.08 mm2 (28 AWG) wire. Installing the Shadow Drive Connecting the Shadow Drive to the Hydraulic System Before you can install the Shadow Drive, you must select a location at which to connect the Shadow Drive to the hydraulic steering of your boat (Shadow Drive™ Mounting Considerations). For further assistance, consult the hydraulic-layout diagrams included with your pump. Use hydraulic connectors (not included) to install the Shadow Drive in the appropriate hydraulic line. Connecting the Shadow Drive to the CCU 1 Route the bare-wire end of the CCU cable to the Shadow Drive. If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with 28 AWG (0.08 mm²) wire. 2 Connect the cables, based on this table. Shadow Drive Wire Color Red (+) Black (-) CCU Cable Wire Color Brown (+) Black (-) 3 Solder and cover all bare-wire connections. Installing the Alarm Before you can mount the alarm, you must select a mounting location (Alarm Mounting and Connection Considerations). 1 Route the alarm cable to the bare-wire end of the CCU cable. If the cable is not long enough, extend the appropriate wires with 28 AWG (0.08 mm2) wire. 2 Connect the cables, based on this table. Alarm Wire Color White (+) Black (-) CCU Cable Wire Color Orange (+) Blue (-) 3 Solder and cover all bare-wire connections. 4 Secure the alarm with cable ties or other mounting hardware (not included). NMEA 2000 and the Autopilot Components NOTICE If you have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, it should already be connected to power. Do not connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network, because only one power source should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network. You can connect the helm control and the CCU through an existing NMEA 2000 network. If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, all the parts needed to build one are supplied in the autopilot package (Building a Basic NMEA 2000 Network for the Autopilot System). To use advanced features of the autopilot, optional NMEA 2000 devices, such as a GPS device, can be connected to the NMEA 2000 network. If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the "NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals" chapter of the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000 Products. To download this document, select Manuals on the product page for your device at www.garmin.com. Building a Basic NMEA 2000 Network for the Autopilot System NOTICE If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly. 1 Connect the three T-connectors together side-by-side. À 2 Connect the included NMEA 2000 power cable to a 9 to Á 12 Vdc power source through a switch . Â Ã Connect the power cable to the ignition switch of the boat if possible, or route it through an inline switch (not included). NOTE: The braided drain wire (bare) on the NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to the same ground as the black wire on the NMEA 2000 power cable. 3 Connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to one of the Tconnectors. 4 Connect one of the included NMEA 2000 drop cables to Ä one of the T-connectors and to the helm control . Å 5 Connect the other included NMEA 2000 drop cable to the other T-connector and to the CCU . Æ 6 Connect the male and female terminators to each end of Ç the combined T-connectors. Connecting the Autopilot Components to an Existing NMEA 2000 Network 1 Determine where to connect the helm control and the CCU À to your existing NMEA 2000 backbone . Á Â 6
