The autopilot will after a few
seconds issue a series of PORT and
STBD rudder commands and
automatically verify correct rudder
direction. It detects minimum
power to drive the rudder, and
reduces the rudder speed if it
exceeds the maximum acceptable
speed (8°/sec.) for autopilot
operation.
The Rudder test is verified by the
display showing ‘Motor OK’,
‘Solenoids OK’, or ‘Failed’. If
‘Failed’ is given, check for correct
electrical connection.
The Motor Drive out (displayed in percentage) is the amount of
maximum available power needed to achieve correct rudder
speed on automatic steering (Maximum speed is used in NFU
mode). See also “Final Sea Trial” on page
134.
The screen also tells whether a clutch is installed or not.
If the Automatic rudder test fails, refer to ”
Alarms” beginning on
page
140.
Test of LF3000/LFI3000 Mk2 feedback
1. Align engines to centre position; “zero rudder”.
2. Rev engines to 3-4000 rev/min and observe the rudder angle
indicator on the autopilot, a 2° change in the reading should
be accepted.
3. If the rudder angle exceeds 2°, connect the screen on the TB1
cable to the centre block terminal and repeat item 2 (See
Figure 3-30). If this gives a better result keep the screen
connected.
Proceed to next menu item by pressing STBD button.
