RUD T - Rudder Hard-Over Time
To finish the rudder end stop commissioning procedure
the autopilot must calculate the rudder hardover Port to
hardover Starboard time. The following points must be
observed before carrying out the procedure:
(a)
If the boat is equipped with hydraulic power
assisted steering, the engines must be running during the
rudder hard-over time test.
(b)
The rudder hard-over to hard-over time can only
be calculated with the boat stationary.
(1) Select
RUD T from the menu.
(2) Change
the
OFF legend to ON using the
adjacent keys.
(3) Press
Enter to start the timing. The autopilot will
drive the rudder to measure the hard over to hard over
time.
WARNING
ENSURE THAT HANDS ETC. ARE KEPT CLEAR FROM THE
STEERING MECHANISM BEFORE PERFORMING THE
RUDDER HARD-OVER TIME.
Note
If RUD T fails to work then check the boat speed; this must be less
than 2 knots. Turn the wheel and check that the rudder bar display
on the autopilot display is indicating. If it fails to indicate carry out
the end stop procedures again. The rudder reference unit must
move through a minimum of 90° when the wheel is turning from
lock to lock. Check to ensure that there is a minimum of a 1V dc
change from Port to Starboard measured between the Green and
Blue wires from the rudder position sensor.
