4.17 RI35 Mk2 Rudder Angle Indicator
The RI35 Mk2 is designed for flush, bulkhead or bracket mounting, and
should be positioned in a location in clear view of the helmsman. Mounting of
RI35 Mk2 is identical to the mounting of AP35 Control Unit; refer to page
52.
When the location is determined, the cables should be connected to RI35 Mk2
before the unit is mounted.
The interconnection cables are screened, and the screen should be grounded in
the autopilot junction unit. See
Figure 4-20 for connections to the autopilot
junction unit.

RI35 Mk2 illumination
Internal LED’s illuminates the scale. The illumination is turned on and
adjusted in three steps by pushing the front panel keypad.
Zero adjust
Note ! Prior to making a zero adjustment on the indicator, make sure the feedback
unit is installed and aligned according to it’s mounting instruction.
Follow the instructions on page
81 to zero adjust the rudder feedback.
Press and hold the illumination key for 5 seconds. The pointer will now
adjust itself to zero confirmed by a 1-second beep.
Note ! There may be a difference in the RI35 Mk2 and the autopilot reading. This is
normal because the autopilot zero adjust compensates for drag caused by
the hull, flaps etc. If you prefer the readings to be aligned, then put the
rudder amidships using the RI35 Mk2 as reference, and then zero adjust the
autopilot.
