Software Set-up Procedure
20222469 / B 51
Manually turn the helm wheel to port until the rudder stops at
maximum port rudder.
Adjust the displayed angle the same way as for starboard
adjustment (if the rudder feedback unit is upside down, you need
not correct for the opposite side this time).
Note ! If no adjustment has been made to the display readout (i.e. not
turning the course knob), the AP50 will set the physical stop to
45°. “Max. rudder limit” will be set to 2° less.
Note ! Rudder-zero may still be inaccurate and should be adjusted
later during sea trial.
Proceed to the next menu item (Rudder Test) by pressing the
(STBD) button.
Rudder Calibration
(Only applicable for analog drive).
This setting is used for calibration of analog rudders. ‘Rudder
Max’ is displayed instead of ‘Rudder feedback cal’ when an
AD50 Analog Drive is connected via the Robnet and a rudder
feedback unit is not connected to the system.
