ST60 Tridata Instrument Owner’s Manual
10. Tighten the hose clamps around the bullhorn ram and the rudder sensor’s bar-
rel.
11. Tighten the starboard bullhorn bolt to secure the U-bracket.
12. Fit and tighten the supplied nut and washer to secure the threaded rod end of
the sensor’s shaft to the U-bracket.
Notes: (1)
If there is restricted space below the ram, you can mount the sensor in
front of the ram.
(2)
We recommend installing the sensor with its shaft pointing to starboard. If
you cannot install the unit in this orientation, you can fit it with the shaft
pointing to port. If you do this, the SportPilot will automatically correct
itself, so no manual adjustment is necessary.
Linear rudder position sensor – cabling
1. Connect the linear rudder position sensor cable to the
RUDDER REF
cable
(color for color). Use the Scotchlock connectors and crimp the connectors with
a pair of pliers.
Note:
Connect the cables close to the SportPilot so that the connectors remain dry and
free from strain.
2. Route the cable to the SportPilot, taking into account the EMC installation
guidelines (
page 17
).
