4. Press the STBY button again if necessary to read the rudder angle
display (You may also access the User menu and the SYSTEM DATA
menu item to read the rudder angle).
5. Use a flat screwdriver in the slot and adjust the rudder angle to zero
degrees on the display.
6. Secure the transmission lever to the shaft and proceed with the ‘Rudder
Feedback Calibration’.
Note ! If the autopilot presents you with a Rudder Feedback Alarm after turn on,
proceed as follows:
• Turn the autopilot off. Use a flat screwdriver in the slot and turn the shaft
180°.
• Proceed from paragraph 3 above.
Rudder Feedback Calibration
This function enables you to compensate for any non-linearity in the
mechanical transmission between rudder and Rudder Feedback Unit.
Confirm by rotating the course selector clockwise. The display may now
show:
INSTALLATION

The value shown on the display is the value read by the feedback unit before
any adjustment is made. The arrow indicates to which side the rudder is
positioned. If the displayed angle is different from the actual angle, set
correct rudder angle on the display by turning course selector clockwise to
increase the value or counter clockwise to decrease the value.
Note ! If the rudder feedback is mounted upside down, the displayed rudder angle
may be to the wrong side before you start the adjustment (arrow pointing to
Port).
