Rudder Feedback Calibration

Make sure the RF300 is installed and aligned as pr. instruction in
section 3.6 (or eventually section 3.27 for LF3000). This
function enables you to compensate for any non-linearity in the
transmission between the rudder and the rudder feedback.
Advance to the next step by pressing the STBD 1 button.
Manually turn the helm to port until the rudder stops at
maximum port rudder.
Adjust the displayed angle the same way as for starboard rudder.
Many boats have ±45° (90° H.O. - H.O.) rudder angle as

standard. So if you are not making any adjustment to the display
readout, the AP16 will set a (default) value of 45° to each side.
However, you should always simulate an adjustment by a single
press on each of the STBD 10 and PORT 10 buttons. This is
necessary to prevent the rudder from hitting the end stops.

Configuration and setup
Confirm Rudder feedback calibration
to STBD by pressing the STBD 10
button. You will read dotted lines only
the first time you enter this screen.
Manually turn the helm/wheel to
starboard until the rudder stops at
starboard lock (H.O.).
The value on the display is the angle
read by the rudder feedback unit before
any adjustment is made. If the actual
rudder angle is different from that of
the display, correct the reading by
pressing the STBD 10 button to
increase the value or the PORT 10
button to decrease the value (see note).
