130603 Document history Rev. A Original Issue Rev. B RI35 Mk2 Limiter not used with newer revisions of J3XX. Rev. C Connection to J50 Junction Unit included. Part no. for RI35 Mk2 included in the Spare Parts List. Rev. D Default setting of S1 plug-in strap on the RF45X PCB changed from AP45 to J3XX.
Instruction manual 1. INTRODUCTION The RI35 Mk2 is manufactured in non-corrosive aluminum with a non- reflective black finish. It is designed to operate from frequency or current signals generated by a Simrad autopilot feedback unit. It will also accept a NMEA 0183 rudder angle (RSA) signal.
Figure 2-1 RI35 Mk2 Dimensions 3. INSTALLATION The RI35 Mk2 is designed for flush, bulkhead or bracket mounting, and should be positioned in a location in clear view of the helmsman. When the mounting location is determined, the cables should be connected to RI35 Mk2 before the unit is mounted.

The interconnection cables are screened, and the screen should be grounded in the autopilot junction unit. See Figure 3-3 through Figure 3-9 for connections to the different autopilot junction units. Figure 3-3 RI35 Mk2 – J50/J3XX, Wiring diagram dependent of autopilot function 20220919D...

The interconnection cables are screened, and the screen should be grounded in the autopilot junction unit. Note ! If the J3XX junction unit has 24V supply (Vbat), the RI35 Mk2 Limiter (part no. 22084990) must be connected to RF+ as shown in Figure 3-5.

(listening) or output (talking). The listener port is also non-polarized. For best performance, if the RI35 Mk2 is to be used with a non- Simrad rudder feedback outputting NMEA data (RSA), 20Hz is recommended. Max. 5 indicators (1+4).
• Temporarily bolt together the other two halves of the bracket to the first two halves. • Hold the RI35 Mk2 in place by hand and mark the 4 holes for the fixing screws on the mounting surface. • Remove the RI35 Mk2, drill the 4 mounting holes in the mounting surface.
30° on RI35 Mk2) it is most probably caused by the “Feedback calibration” adjustment made in the autopilot.

Note ! If you let go of key before conformation of reversed deflection has been given, the RI35 Mk2 will think you meant to do a zero adjust and leave the pointer at zero. Then simply repeat section 3.6. 4. MAINTENANCE Simrad rudder angle indicator equipment will need no special maintenance.
