B&G Autopilot

[Patto]

Hi All
I have a new B&G autopilot system to instal in my boat.
The Nac 3 computer is in and showing on the system and the ram is located and ready to get wired up. There is however no wiring diagram to follow.
The ram has a black and red power wires so I'm ready to wire them, I guess I can wire them straight if the battery but can I use the power from the network backbone?
I need to work out how to wire the solenoid.

The NAC-3 has 3 wires from the drive outlet and an option to wire a Drive engage. There doesnt seem to be a place to wire the drive engage. So I'm thinking I dont wire that.

The solenoid had pins 1,2 and ground so I figure I wire that to the drive Outlets labelled Motor Sol-1, Motor Sol-2 and Sol gnd. Am I correct?
Thanks in Advance

Two 12v dc inputs to the NAC3
1 - Bus voltage via NMEA connection - this runs the brains.
2 - Hi current 12 v dc to the left hand most terminals - this runs the muscle.

What drive unit /Ram do you have?

Sorry
Its a B&G T1 ram

I have a T2 I just upsized the wiring size on Saturday as the previous owner used a too smaller gauge wire for the drive. The power feed for the drive goes back to the NAC. On the left of the NAC unit there is the power supply terminal block. The first two green terminals which are supply for the NAC and ram. The next three are the ram supply (first two for ram, I think the third is if your wiring a solenoid setup) it’s the second page of the manual you uploaded. There is also a drive engage wire you need to run to the ram

So I wire #1 to pin 1 and #2 to pin 2.
Where is the drive engage wire you speak of? I see it on the NAC but not on the ram

So I run red and black back to the NAC supply on the very left and then run this to the battery?
