description/installation h1000 pilot h1000 pilot display description The h1000 pilot display is designed to be mounted above or below decks. The display head allows control of the pilot and by installing multiple display heads, gives control at any station. It can be connected to all other h1000 Instruments via the Fastnet2 connectors to provide an integrated autopilot and navigational system. Caution: it is essential that the pilot is calibrated before operation.
h1000 pilot description/installation mounting procedure panel mounting Ensure that the display is installed on a flat surface, and there is sufficient room behind the panel to accommodate the fixings and connections. Using the template supplied, cut a hole in the panel in the desired position. Fix the mounting bracket into the hole using the screws supplied.
description/installation h1000 pilot h1000 compass unit description The h1000 compass is an electronic fluxgate for use with all h1000 systems. The unit is housed in a sealed casing constructed of high impact plastic. It is therefore suitable for on or below deck mounting. If installed in a vessel with a steel or reinforced concrete hull it may be necessary to install the compass unit outside the magnetic screening affect of the hull and super-structure.
h1000 pilot description/installation rudder reference unit (rru) description The Rudder Reference Unit (rru) is a sealed, high specification potentiometer in a robust casing, providing rudder position information to the pilot computer unit. The operating arm is constructed from aluminium with three positions pre-drilled for the adjustable drag-link. The drag-link has ball-joints at each end which connect the unit operating arm to the tiller arm or steering quadrant.
description/installation h1000 pilot rudder reference unit Measure the voltage difference between the green and blue wires of the rru; there should be a minimum of 1V d.c. change from hardover to hardover. Note: If there is less than a 1V d.c. change the pilot will not commission. x After installation check full movement of the steering system ensuring that there is no fouling between the steering gear, rru parts and drive unit.
h1000 pilot description/installation rudder reference unit Page 9
description/installation h1000 pilot rudder reference unit The RRU can be mounted in a variety of positions and orientations depending on the layout of the steering system. If the maximum rudder angle is less than 90q then the position of the RRU or the drag-link must be adjusted so that the operating arm of the RRU swings through a minimum of 90.
h1000 pilot description/installation rudder reference unit The rudder hardover angle should only be limited by the rudder stops, not the rru linkage or pilot drive unit. Check that when hardover, the rru arm and drag-link do not form a straight line. If this occurs the steering system could become damaged or jammed endangering the boat and crew. This fault can easily be rectified, by adjusting the position of the RRU.
