ComNav Admiral P3 Installation & Operation Installation
Document PN 29010075 V3.1 - 39 -
Installation
This chapter describes all the steps you must follow while doing the physical installation of
the Admiral P3 Wheelmark Autopilot System on your vessel.
Each of the standard components of a P3 system is described – both physical mounting &
electrical wiring – and then some final checks. Commonly-used accessories are also
described. Many components come with their own specific instructions, and you should pay
attention to those, as well.
Technical Requirements
Please refer to the Warranty Information document that accompanies
this manual before proceeding with installation.
Hazard warning!
CAUTION!
Extreme caution is advised when using tools powered by alternating
current (AC) from main AC supply circuits, regardless of whether the
supply circuits are “indoor”, “outdoor”, “marine” or “industrial” rated.
Water, especially sea water, is an EXCELLENT conductor of electricity,
and can complete a path to AC Ground through a person’s body,
causing injury or death, if a tool malfunctions or short-circuits.
Battery powered tools are STRONGLY recommended
If AC tools are used, they MUST be plugged into a circuit that is
adequately protected against Ground Faults and other safety hazards,
in accordance with local electrical codes.
Steering System
To obtain the best performance from your Autopilot, your vessel’s steering system must be in
good working order. The hydraulic system should be bled, and should be operating with
minimal play.
When installing a Reversing Motor Pump, a Constant Running Pump, or an Engine Driven
Pump, it is recommended that you install shutoff valves on all hydraulic lines between the
Pump and the steering system.
Power Supply
For reliable operation of your Autopilot, your vessel’s power supply system must have an
adequately-breakered, or fused, DC (direct current) power supply at a nominal voltage of
either 12 or 24 volts. If the circuits are fused, a switch should also be provided. Ensure that
adequate wire sizes are used to handle the expected maximum currents.
Special Tools
A slot screwdriver with a tip size of ~2.5 mm (0.1”) is required, for tightening the small screws
of the wire clamps in the plugs which mate with the SPU’s pin-receptacle connectors.
Other general-purpose tools such as a portable drill, pliers, wire cutters, screwdrivers, wire,
mounting bolts and wrenches will also be required.
