3.2.2 Wiring

Connect the cable of rudder feedback unit to the 3 pins socket on the rear panel

of KAP-866. To check the wirng of the rudder feedback unit by steer the rudder

to either side (Port or Starboard), see whether the rudder angle indication on

KAP-866 goes to corresponding direction. If the rudder angle indication on

KAP-866 goes to reverse direction against the applied rudder then you need to

reverse the wiring of RED and BLACK.

After installation of the feedback unit is complete and the linkage is fitted,

have the steering of the vessel turned lock to lock and ensure:

a)The direction (port or starboard) indicated on the top of the RFU is correct.

b)No undue mechanical strain is placed on the rudder feedback or linkage.

NOTE: THE AUTOPILOT WILL NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY IF A

RUDDER FEEDBACK IS NOT FITTED, OR IF THE FEEDBACK IS

FAULTY OR INCORRECTLY ADJUSTED.

NOTE: THE RUDDER FEEDBACK UNIT IS FACTORY ALIGNED. THE

ARM SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED OR LOOSENED UNNECESSARILY.

IF ARM IS LOOSENED OR REMOVED, VOLTAGE ALIGNMENT SHOULD

BE CHECKED BEFORE USING THE AUTOPILOT. THIS MUST BE DONE

BY A COMPETENT TECHNICIAN.
