Auto Pilot Trim Wiring

[rfazio1951]

I've searched through paste posts about the wiring, but can't seem to find this. I'm using Tosten sticks where they say you need to use relays to operate the trim servos. I'm using Ray Allen trim servos, that use less than 1 amp for trim. When using the autopilot controller to run the trim servos, is it acting as a relay deck? Does the full load of the trim motors go to the stick or is it just a control circuit with some load less than the servos use. I hope I'm clear here. It looks to me like I can eliminate the relay deck when using the ap controller, but I hate to cook the stick switches.

The SV-AP-PANEL serves as the relay and handles all high-current switching. When wired per the SkyView install manual the current passing through the trim switches on your stick will be negligible.

For wiring information consult the SkyView install manual, page 18-7 (revision AM).

Tyler, Thanks so much for your quick response. This makes it much easier.

Correct, the stick switches are just tying a wire to ground for signal to the AP Panel, the AP Panel does all the switching.
