General information
ï The Autohelm ST4000 Plus Wheel Actuator is designed to operate
with steering systems having between 1 and 3.5 turns lock to lock.
ï Steering systems with more than 3.5 turns may cause impaired
steering performance due to reduced rate of rudder application.
ï Lost motion in the steering system must not exceed 1% of total
movement ñ this is equivalent to 7.5∞ of free wheel movement for a
system with two turns lock to lock.
ï If lost motion exceeds 1%, it must be either corrected or a rudder
reference transducer must be fitted, otherwise steering performance
will be impaired.
