2.3.3 Analog FFU Command Device #1
Description
This input connects to a resistive potentiometer in an analog FFU
controller such as a FFU Lever Controller or an analog helm device. The
potentiometer provides an analog rudder order command signal to the
MCP. A Rudder Order Indicator (ROI) is available to display the present
rudder command at this input. FFU input devices can provide full control
of either on-off or proportional directional valves.

Installation
Commissioning
Each analog FFU command device must be calibrated through the SCP
Command Calibration window of the DSC Setup Software (see section
4.1.2
) or through the Calibration menu of the keypad setup (see section
4.2.5). The calibration procedure informs the system of the input device’s
midship, port maximum and starboard maximum positions. The polarity of
each FFU command input device can also be reversed in the SCP
Configuration window of the DSC Setup Software (see section 4.1.1
) or
through the SCP menu of the keypad setup (see section 4.2.2).
2.3.4 Analog FFU Command Device #2
Description
This input connects to a second FFU controller in exactly the same way as
described above except that there is no rudder order indicator output
available.
