HPU series are suitable for vessels from 30’ to 150’ in length depending on the vessels steering characteristics. Proper pump selection is very important to optimize performance. Figure 1: HPU300 Overview Diagram OMPONENTS The Accu-Steer Pump set is a complete assembly consisting of an electric motor with control box, gear pump, hydraulic control manifold and heavy-duty adapter mount.
Page 7
The electric motor is a heavy-duty totally enclosed, fan-cooled unit featuring high efficiency permanent magnet construction, oversized brush gear with easy access, and standard foot and face mountings. The HPU300 is available with 12VDC, 24VDC or 115/230VAC motors. The electrical junction box provides remote start and protected connections for the solenoid values for port, starboard, and two-speed operation.

HPU300 Hydraulic Power Units Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. Figure 4: Connections in Top Face of Hydraulic Manifold (3) three hydraulic connections are required for close loop: • Connect ports ‘CYLINDER’ to the (2) two steering cylinder ports. It is not critical to identify which of the steering lines is Port or Starboard as most new autopilots will determine the pump direction and program the drive outputs to suit.
DO NOT energize the coil detached from the valves. It may cause them to heat up beyond normal operating temperatures. Table 3: HPU300 Wiring Connections – DC Motors HPU300 Terminal...

HPU300 Hydraulic Power Units Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. UNCTIONAL The Function Test should be carried out while the vessel is still at dock and before it is taken out to sea after installation has been completed. After installation and filling has been completed, perform the following function tests: Power ON the HPU Power ON the autopilot (or electronic jog lever).
HPU300 Hydraulic Power Units Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. PERATION The HPU operates as follows: • Manifold receives oil from pump, and outputs to steering lines. Output flow determining the speed of the rudder. • Output flow is controlled by flow control valves.
HPU300 Hydraulic Power Units Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. AINTENANCE REVENTATIVE AINTENANCE During normal operation of the pump, the high-pressure filter should be checked periodically and changed or washed out if contaminated. If the speed of the steering system begins to gradually slow down, it is an indication that the filter is plugging.
