4.5 AP35 System Layout

4.6 RF300 Rudder feedback

The RF300 Rudder feedback unit mounts close to the rudders, and is
mechanically linked to the rudder tiller arm or rudder quadrant.
Refer to Figure 4-2 for the recommended mounting arrangement. Note that
the RF300 transmitter arm has two slots for the transmission link. The slots
enable maximum flexibility to provide the 1:1 mechanical linkage
relationship.
Note !
Do not try to remove the transmitter arm from the feedback unit. The unit is
factory adjusted and need no further adjustment at installation than
described below.
As a starting point, it is desirable to set the transmitter rod to the inner limit
of the outer slot if possible. (Refer to Figure 4-2). Drill and tap the rudder
tiller arm so that the Y1 dimension is equal to the Y2 dimension (Use 4.2
mm drill and 5 mm tap). Attach the ball joint to the tiller arm, and connect
the transmitter rod to the ball joint at the rudder tiller arm.
Turn the helm wheel to set the rudder tiller arm to approximate centre
position.
Rotate the RF300 transmitter lever until it is set to centre position. (Use the
alignment mark to line up the transmitter lever to be opposite the cable entry
into the feedback.)
Note !
Carefully observe the alignment marks. A rudder feedback alarm may be the
result if the alignment instructions as per Figure 4-2 are neglected.
