3.2 RF300 Rudder feedback installation
The RF300 Rudder feedback unit mounts close to the rudders, and is
mechanically linked to the rudder tiller arm or rudder quadrant.
Refer to Figure 3-1 for the recommended mounting
arrangement. Note that the RF300 transmitter arm has two slots for the
transmission link. The slots enable maximum flexibility to provide the
1:1 mechanical linkage relationship.
Note ! Do not try to remove the transmitter arm from the feedback unit. The unit is
factory adjusted and need no further adjustment at installation than
described below.
As a starting point, it is desirable to set the transmitter rod to the inner
limit of the outer slot if possible. (Refer to Figure 3-1). Drill and
tap the rudder tiller arm so that the Y1 dimension is equal to the Y2
dimension (Use 4.2 mm drill and 5 mm tap). Attach the ball joint to the
tiller arm, and connect the transmitter rod to the ball joint at the rudder
tiller arm.
Turn the helm wheel to set the rudder tiller arm to approximate center
position.
Rotate the RF300 transmitter lever until it is also set to center position.
(A simple method is to line up the transmitter lever to be opposite the
cable entry into the feedback.)
Figure 3-1 RF300 Rudder Feedback mounting
Attach the transmitter rod to the RF300. Set the RF300 mounting
location to be in accordance with Figure 3-1. The center of the
RF300 should be in line with the center of the rudder post. Mount the
RF300 to a suitable platform using the screws provided. If necessary,
add blocking material under the RF300 to adjust the height of the
transmission arm to be level with the rudder tiller arm.
