30TYPE 100/300 Operation and Installation Handbook2.4 Rotary Rudder Reference TransducerThe rotary rudder reference transducer must be connected directly to thetiller arm to provide accurate rudder position to the course computer. If itis more convenient, the unit may be installed upside down. However, ifmounted this way, the red and green wires must be reversed at thecourse computer.Mounting1. Using the self tapping screws provided, mount the rudder referencetransducer on a suitable base adjacent to the rudder stock.XTiller armMounting baseD1952. Make sure that the base height of the rudder reference transducercan maintain the correct vertical alignment between the rudderreference transducer arm and tiller arm (as shown).• To give the precise rudder position, the rudder reference transducer hasa built in spring to remove any free play in the linkage to the tiller .• The rudder reference arm movement is limited to ± 60 degrees. Caremust be taken during installation to ensure that the rudder referencearm is opposite the point of cable entry when the rudder is amidships.Failure to do this could result in damage if the rudder reference arm isdriven onto its end stops by the steering system.
