3.10 S100 NFU Lever installation
The S100 Steering Lever is for indoor mounting in panels up to 8 mm
(5/16") tick. The handle has to be removed from the unit before
mounting. A 22 mm (7/8" hole should be cut in the panel. Be sure that
the Robertson label is pointing forward to get correct direction of
rudder movement (Port/Stbd.) when operating the steering lever. S100
is supplied with 2m (6,7') cable and plug. Cut the plug and connect the
wires to the junction unit Power PCB as shown. An optional extension
cable is available from Simrad Robertson. Alternatively a suitable cable
and junction box or terminal should be provided locally.

3.11 Interfacing
With the AP300X autopilot system there are several possibilities to
connect to other equipment for data exchange:
1. J3000X includes a single NMEA input/output port.
2. J300X includes two NMEA input/output ports and Clock Data
interface to Anritzu and Furuno radars.
3. The optional NI300X NMEA Interface (expansion) Unit with 4
additional NMEA input/output ports.
A further interface expansion is to connect to the Robertson Databox to
provide interface to Dataline sensors, Chart plotter and GPS Receiver
antenna.
The NMEA output may also drive Dataline RUDDER and COMPASS
instruments directly.
The different connecting diagrams below illustrate the interface
possibilities.
