3. INITIAL SETTINGS
Rudder test
For power steering vessels with an engine driven power steering pump, the engines must
be running and slightly above idle before this test is done. BEFORE doing this test, check
that [RUDDER DEADBAND] in the [SEA TRIAL] menu is set to [AUTO].
26.Go back to the [DOCKSIDE SETUP] menu, select [RUDDER TEST] then push the
knob. The cursor is selecting [NO]; push the knob. Select [YES] then push the knob to
start the test.
The rudder test automatically detects drive unit type as follows:
Successful detection
SOLENOID: The test automatically continues.
REVERSIBLE: The following menu appears. Select correct drive unit type with the
Course control knob and push the knob. Then, the test continues.
Note: IN PORT1 and INPORT2 are disabled when SAFE HELM is selected.
Failed detection
"RUDDER TEST FAILED" appears. The rudder test is discontinued.
The results are shown on the screen as follows:
[DRIVE TYPE]: [REVERSIBLE12V](or 24V), [SAFE HELM 12V](or 24V), or [SOLE-
NOID]
[RUDDER DEADBAND]: [OK] or [BIG]
[RUDDER SPEED]: [OK], [SLOW], or [FAST]
27.Press the [MENU] key to return to the [DOCKSIDE SETUP] menu.
28.Set the deadband of the rudder, automatically or manually. The setting is normally
performed automatically during the RUDDER TEST. Manually setting the parameter is
normally not recommended and may in fact be only useful on older vessels with chain
driven or old worn rudder system. If it is necessary to set it manually, do the following:
1) Select [RUDDER DEADBAND] on the [SEA TRIAL] menu then push the knob.
2) Select [MANUAL] then push the knob.
3) Rotate the knob to select the value shown then push the knob.
4) Rotate the knob to set the value shown then push the knob.
