H5000 Installation
Rudder calibration
Make sure the Rudder Feedback unit is installed and aligned as per
your Rudder Feedback installation manual. The rudder feedback
calibration will set the correct relationship between the physical
rudder movement and the rudder angle readout.
Max starboard
The Max starboard angle is the angle read by the rudder feedback
unit before any adjustment is made.
1 Manually move the helm to starboard until the rudder stops at
starboard lock hard over. Press 1º Starboard key to confi rm.
2 If the actual rudder angle is diff erent from the angle displayed, correct
the reading with the Up/Down keys.
3 Confi rm Rudder feedback calibration to starboard by pressing 1º
Starboard key.
Max port
The Max starboard angle is the angle read by the rudder feedback
unit before any adjustment is made.
1 Manually move the helm to port until the rudder stops at port lock
hard over. Press 1º Starboard key to confi rm.
2 Adjust the displayed angle the same way as for starboard rudder.
3 Confi rm Rudder feedback calibration to port by pressing 1º Starboard
key.
Note:
Many boats have ±45° (90° H.O. - H.O.) rudder angle as standard.
So if you are not going to make any adjustment to the displayed
angle you should still highlight the reading and confi rm. This is
necessary to prevent the rudder from hitting the end stops.
