I am planning to replace a legacy AP system (150ASG course computer) with an Evolution system. The spur connections for the EV sensor core, the new ACU200 and the p70Rs control head are all straightforward to me. What I am wondering is if I need to plan for any major wiring adjustments when I replace the existing 150ASG course computer with the new ACU200?

My existing 150ASG has the following connections:

1) Five fluxgate compass inputs (G,R, Y, B and a bare ground). I assume this connection will no longer be needed in the new system and the old fluxgate and wires can be removed.

2) Four rudder position sensor inputs (G, R, B, gray (screen)) which looks to be a match for the rudder position sensor inputs on the ACU200. Can my existing rudder position indicator simply be connected to the ACU200 with the same leads and re-used in the Evolution system?

3) Black and Red wires supplied to an Off Switch on the 150GAST. Do these wires connect to the Sleep input on the ACU200?

4) Two sets of Seatalk Wires that will be replaced with a spur cable from the ACU200 to the Seatalkng backbone.

5) Two 12v power leads and two Drive motor output leads which again look like they can be used as-is with the ACU200.

6) I notice a clutch input on the ACU200. If my existing Type 1 drive unit does not have a clutch and I am re-using that drive unit, I assume no new wiring is needed here?

Thanks in advance.
