Type of boat will affect the steering parameters, and the functions available
in the autopilot system. Select appropriate boat type and press STBD [>]
button.
Drive unit voltage selection
This menu option requires the installer to set the drive unit voltage to the
correct level. The selections are 12V, 24V or 32V and should be set to the
voltage specified for your drive unit.
INSTALLATION
Drive unit
voltage 12V
Note ! Selection of improper voltage level for your drive unit may damage both the
drive unit and junction unit even if the protection circuits in the junction unit
are activated.
Refer to the drive unit table on page
49 for information. It is not possible to
select a higher voltage than the input voltage. The CLUTCH/BYPASS
voltage is automatically set to the same as the drive unit voltage. In Rudder
Test, the AP35 system will also automatically detect whether the drive unit
is a reversible motor or solenoid operated.
To change the voltage selection, rotate the course selector.
Proceed to next menu item by pressing STBD [>] button.
INSTALLATION

calibration?
Alignment for RF45X Rudder Feedback
Unit
The purpose of this procedure is to find
the zero point and make the feedback unit
operate within its active segment. If the
unit operates outside this segment there
will be a feedback failure alarm.
1. Position the rudder amidships.
2. Loosen the two screws that secure the
transmission lever to the RF45X
shaft.
3. Turn on the autopilot and wait until
the display shows “SETUP
REQUIRED” (see note below).
