Page 9: Ri9 Set-Up
Instruction manual RI9 set-up The RI9 indicator is calibrated for voltage input signal (RF14XU Rudder Feedback Unit). Assuming that the mechanical linkage is in accordance with the instruction on Fig. 2-2 adjustment of the trimpotmeters marked Voltage FB, G (=Gain) and O (= Offset) is not necessary. - Page 10 Robertson RI9 Rudder Angle Indicator When changing from voltage to current signal (or vice versa), Note ! the indicator may have to be recalibrated. In this case, or if the Gain and Offset trimpot’s for other reasons are maladjusted, the following calibration procedure should be carried out: 1.

Page 12: Maintenance
Robertson RI9 Rudder Angle Indicator Maintenance Robertson rudder indicator equipment will need no special attention besides replacing illumination bulbs (See Fig. 1-10 for location of bulbs). It is, however, essential that the mechanical linkage between the rudder stock and the shaft of the rudder feedback unit is regularly checked and maintained in good condition to avoid misalignment. -
Page 13: Rf14Xu Rudder Feedback Unit
Instruction manual RF14XU RUDDER FEEDBACK UNIT General The rudder feedback unit transmits a signal proportional to the rudder angle. It is mounted close to the rudder stock and is mechanically connected to the rudder by a transmission link in a 1:1 ratio. The RF14XU Rudder Feedback Unit consists of a glass- reinforced non-flammable polyester housing with a mounting plate of sea-water resistant aluminium. -

Page 15: Installation
Instruction manual Installation Before installation check that the alignment mark on the mounting plate agrees with the mark on the shaft. Bring the rudder to midships position. The feedback unit should be mounted on a plane surface and secured by bolts through the three holes in the mounting plate. - Page 16 Robertson RI9 Rudder Angle Indicator run in a conduit between the rudder feedback unit and the rudder indicator(s). The cable screen must be connected to the internal ground terminal. Ref. picture below. Fig. 2-3 Screen termination The feedback unit has an external ground terminal and must have a proper ground connection to the hull.
