Grounding and RFI
The AP300X system has very good RFI protection and all units are
using the Junction Unit as common ground/shield connection. The
Junction Unit should therefore have a proper ground connection to the
hull.
ROBNET cables and other signal cables (compass, feedback, NMEA)
should not be run in parallel with other cables carrying RF or high
current, such as VHF and SSB transmitters, battery chargers/
generators and winches.
Remove the bottom cover to get access to the plug-in terminals. Strip
about 1 cm (0.4") of the cable's insulation and pull the screen
backwards to cover the insulation. Position the straps as shown and
thighten well to make sure the screen has good contact.
Leave sufficient free wires so that the plug-in terminals can be easily
connected/disconnected.
