For calling up the parameter se-
quence, see Chapter 4.5.1, Point
¡ .
In this example, the default value
corresponds to the ship--specific
value.
Subsequently, close the parame-
ter sequence via CONFIG. off
(see Chapter 4.5.1, Point ¥ ).
For the electrical adjustment of the rudder setting range, the rudder is always to be
moved to the maximum rudder angle according to RUD SCALE for PORT/STBD.
For this, the rudder angle can be adjusted by manual control or by autopilot (e.g. if no
steering mode selector is available)
Pre--conditions: See Chapter 4.8
Adjustment by manual control:
Adjust the maximum rudder angle for STBD, e.g. 35

.
Turn the potentiometer R38 (on the I/O PCB) until a voltage level of between
--2.3V and --2.5V appears on the voltmeter.
Repeat the measurement with a maximum rudder angle for PORT.
The voltmeter has to indicate a voltage level of between
+2.3V and +2.5V .
