MOUNTING THE MODEL 7174 RUDDER FEEDBACK UNIT
The Model
7174
or
7168
Follow-Up (Rudder Feedback Unit) must be mounted near the steering
gear as shown in the diagram below. The output signals will then be calibrated with the tiller in
place.
IMPORTANT
: Hydraulic steering gears using a hydraulic Full Follow-Up System (often
referred to as “Telemotor” or “Accumotor”) must drive the Feedback Unit from the Servo
Cylinder, not the Rudder stock. In such a case, the Model
7174
Follow-Up should be mounted
approximately two feet from the end of the Servo Cylinder. This is done to ensure proper linear
motion. The cable for the Models
7174
or
7168
Feedback Unit should be a 3-conductor
#18-gauge cable.
