Fig . 5-36 P; Fig; Analogue ±10V Or 4-20Ma Control Signals - Simrad Robertson AP9 Mk3 Instruction Manual

The electrical wiring between the PANORAMA Rudder Angle
Indicator and the RF14XU Rudder Feedback Unit is shown in Fig.
5-36. The wiring should be a 4-core cable, preferably an armoured
cable of approved type, and minimum 4x0,75 sq.mm.(AWG18).
Calibration procedure
1. The indicator has been calibrated from factory and should need no
2. Check that the RF14XU Rudder Feedback Unit is installed in
3. Verify that the indicator shows zero degrees with the rudder
4. Take the rudder from starboard hard-over position to port hard-
5.15 Analogue ±10V or 4-20mA control signals
In case of ±10V analogue signal or 4-20mA current signal for steering
or operation of thruster, two possibilities are available:
• Dual Analogue ±10V signals via the Dual Analogue Board. The
• One ±10V analogue signal can be obtained by using the Thruster

Interface PCB. This system is described as the Thruster Control
system. This optional feature enables the AP9 MK3 Autopilot to
control one thruster in three different ways:
– Only rudder control (no thruster). PARAMETER 2 is shown.
– Only thruster control
– Combined rudder and thruster control
