Using switch interface 8730 with other control units:
The 8730 needs to be activated for the switch inputs to work. Connect the
control signals to the 4 pin connector as shown on wiring diagram below.
Solution 1: Use a control panel to activate 8730 by turning the panel ON.
When the last panel are turned OFF by timeout or OFF button the 8730 is
deactivated. Preferred solution.
Solution 2: By connecting a wire from pin 1 to pin 6 on the 6 pin connector, the
8730 will be activated and stay activated all the time when there is power
on the S-Link (se wiring diagram below).
NB! Solution 2 cannot be used with an retract thruster or Automatic
Main Switch. This will prevent the retract to go inn and the AMS will
not be able to turn off.
