Rudder Follower
The 1101 Autopilot is supplied with a ComNav Medium Duty Rudder
Follower.
The Rudder Follower is used to transmit the position of the vessels
rudder to the SPU. It should be connected to whichever part of the
steering system the Autopilot controls. Normally, this is the vessels
rudder, however, if the vessel has 2-stage steering where the
Autopilot drives a control or ser vo ram, the Rudder Follower should
be mounted to the servo ram rather than the rudder.
Some 1101 Installations may use a ComNav Linear Feedback (Part
# 81957) or a Heavy Duty Rudder Follower (Part # 83634). These
units come with installation instructions.
Distribution Box
The Distribution Box provides a neat and tidy way to wire the SPU to
the power supply, output solenoids, navigation computer, Rudder
Angle Indicators (RAls) and other accessories.
