H5000 Installation

Rudder calibration

Make sure the Rudder Feedback unit is installed and aligned as per
your Rudder Feedback installation manual. The rudder feedback
calibration will set the correct relationship between the physical
rudder movement and the rudder angle readout.

Max starboard

The Max starboard angle is the angle read by the rudder feedback
unit before any adjustment is made.

1 Manually move the helm to starboard until the rudder stops at

starboard lock hard over. Press Starboard key to confi rm.

2 If the actual rudder angle is diff erent from the angle displayed, correct

the reading with the Up/Down keys.

3 Confi rm Rudder feedback calibration to starboard by pressing

Starboard key.

Max port

The Max starboard angle is the angle read by the rudder feedback
unit before any adjustment is made.

1 Manually move the helm to port until the rudder stops at port lock

hard over. Press 1º Starboard key to confi rm.

2 Adjust the displayed angle the same way as for starboard rudder.

3 Confi rm Rudder feedback calibration to port by pressing Starboard

key.

Note:

Many boats have ±45° (90° H.O. - H.O.) rudder angle as standard.

So if you are not going to make any adjustment to the displayed
angle you should still highlight the reading and confi rm. This is
necessary to prevent the rudder from hitting the end stops.
