Cable connections

Use only shielded cables. This includes Mains input, drive units
and if necessary for the extension of the RF300 Rudder
Feedback cable. The clutch/bypass cable and the solenoid cable
should be 1,5 mm
(AWG20) twisted pairs.
The mains supply cable and the drive unit motor cable should
have sufficient wire gauge. This will minimize voltage drop and
allow the drive unit to operate at full power.
