To finish the rudder end stop calibration procedure

 

 

Rudder drive type

 

 

 

 

 

the autopilot must calculate the rudder hardover port

 

 

Rudder hardover time

 

 

 

to hardover starboard time.

The following points must observed before carrying

out the procedure:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ If the boat is equipped with hydraulic power

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

assisted steering the engines must be running

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when setting the rudder end stops and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

measuring the hardover time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ Move rudder to midships position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ Highlight the ‘START’ command.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ Keep clear of the wheel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ Press the ENTER key to start test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rudder hardover to hardover time can only be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

calculated with the boat stationary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If during the hardover timing, the rudder does not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

move, check:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ The boat speed is less than 3 knots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ The rudder reference unit must move through an

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

angle of at least 900 when the wheel is turned

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from hardover to hardover.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ The output variation from the rudder reference

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

unit is greater than 1V from hardover port to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hardover starboard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ Refer to the installation section for the rudder

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reference unit and check the installation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ξ The separate power supply to the ACP control

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

unit is switched on.
