2.1.1 Set Rudder Limit

There are physical limitations to the angle that the rudder can move through.

If the autopilot attempts to drive the rudder past these limits, damage to

the steering gear may occur.

Setting Rudder Limit is to prevent the rudder from over-steer beyond the set

limit. The Rudder Limit will function before the steering system reach the

mechanic limit.

There are 2 symbols "P_L" (Port Limit) and "S_L" (Starboard limit) will

appear on the display. When you see either of these 2 symbols:

a) When rudder moves excess the set Port Limit (or Starboard Limit) a "P_L"

(or S_L) will appear on the display. No port (or Starboard) rudder movement

command will be sent out from the autopilot.

b) The functioning of Starboard Limit (S_L) us same as Port Limit (P_L)

Note: The factory default setting of Rudder limit is 30 degrees. That means if

rudder feedback unit is properly installed then when the rudder is moved over

Port or Starboard 30 degrees, the display will show P_L or S_L.
