    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 Robertson autopilot feedback unit. It will also accept a NMEA 0183 rudder angle (RSA) signal. The indicator is made in standard modular size (132x108 mm) to match the Robertson AP35 autopilot.

    Instruction manual 3.2 Use of NMEA The NMEA port on the RI35 Mk2 is unidirectional, i.e. it is automatically configured for input (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- Robertson rudder feedback outputting NMEA data (RSA), 20Hz is recommended.
