Dockside rudder calibration procedure
The Dockside Rudder Calibration function calibrates the rudder
position control. When it is selected, the autopilot performs the
following procedure:
1. Drives the wheel hard to port until the end stop is reached.
2. Drives the wheel hard to starboard until the end stop is reached.
3. Drives the wheel hard to port until the end stop is reached.
4. Centres the helm (halfway between the two recorded limits) and
beeps to confirm completion.
WARNI NG:
This procedure should only be used when the vessel is at the
dockside. Make sure the autopilot actuator is connected and the
tiller is free to move, or that the wheel drive clutch is engaged.
The Dockside Rudder Calibration function checks for the presence of a
rudder reference unit. If you have one installed, it checks and, if
neccessary, corrects the phase so that the direction of the reported
rudder angle is correct.
To perform the Dockside Rudder Calibration procedure:
1. Make sure that the autopilot is in Standby mode with the drive unit
engaged.
2. Press and hold the st andby key for 2 seconds to display the User
Setup entry page.
