System information

Alarm system | 87
If the auto-setting does not perform properly due to high
inertia from the wheel or a loose steering gear, it can be
adjusted manually.
Find the lowest possible value that will prevent the
rudder from continuous hunting. A wide deadband will
cause inaccurate steering. It is recommended to check
rudder stability in AUTO mode when the boat is moving
to get pressure on the rudder.

The rudder deadband setting is not available when the
autopilot is configured for Virtual feedback.
High voltage rudder drive setting
A special High voltage setting accommodates drives with
high stiction (static friction) and higher rudder pressures,
as the boat speed increases.
When you set a voltage level, the proportional output will
be disabled and the motor will be driven by on-off
commands similar to solenoid operation. The voltage can
be adjusted in 1V steps. If set to maximum voltage
(12V / 24V) it will read Solenoids.
The High voltage can also be set in the VRF rudder test
after centering the rudder.
