1.1 Installation
Drilling scheme refers to Dimensional Diagram 101 D 528.HP005, Sheet 1 to 3.
For suggestions for attachment of one and two feedback units, see the overview table in
the annex. In any case of application, the consoles are to be supplied by the shipyard!
Note:
Systems of up to 2 feedback units require two lever systems, accordingly (see Fig. B in the
annex).
Note:
For systems of 2 feedback units, two chain wheels – arranged in parallel – are to be cen-
tered and screwed on the plane surface of the rudder stock, and pinned (see Fig. F in the
annex).
These effects and the resulting disturbances on the devices concerned may be avoided by
installing varistors in the equipment.
A package of three varistors and an instruction are attached to the device for different volt-
age ranges:
NB03–923.01: for circuits of up to 28V DC
NB03–923.02: for circuits from 110V to 115V AC or DC
NB03–923.03: for circuits from 220V to 230V AC.
1.1.4 Cabling

Caution!
On performing work on the Feedback Unit, observe the electrical
safety regulations!
The following works are to be performed by authorized trained per-
sonnel only.
The following versions should be taken into consideration when carrying out adjustment work:

Note:
Slight tolerance–limit deviations in the mid–position of the potentiometer R1 can later be
compensated by an offset compensation of the feedback input amplifier on the follow–up
steering control amplifier PCB of the follow–up steering control amplifier by means of the
potentiometer R15 ”RUDDER OFFSET”.
For cases of application, where the feedback unit does not operate in conjunction with the
follow–up steering control amplifier zeroing of the rudder feedback potentiometer should be
performed according to the information given in the description of device or system descrip-
tion concerned!
Pre–conditions:
– Feedback unit must electrically be isolated.
– Connect multimeter to the terminals L1.11 and L1.12.
– Disconnected a possibly installed lamp circuit.
– Set the rudder exactly to midship position.
– Displace the shaft of the feedback unit no longer!
– In this position, loosen the cam wheel (refer to Fig. 1–1) and turn it on the shaft in such a
way that the probe roller of the microswitch is exactly positioned in the v–shaped notch
of the cam wheel.
– Then fix the cam wheel with its two headless socket screws, M4x8.
– Adjust the angle of the probe in such a way that it switches on or off when turning the
cam wheel within the area of the slopes of the v–shaped notch (when doing this, ob-
serve the overlap of the microswitch!)
Permissible deviation from the rudder zero position: +2°.
Monitor the switching function at the multimeter.
– Once more fix the position of the angle.
– After the adjustments have been made, re–establish all electrical connections.
– Carefully cover the fixing screws of the angle, the microswitch and the headless socket
screws at the cam wheel with glyptal.
– Re–attach the protective hood.
– Observe correct earth connection!
Warning!
Use care during maintenance and repair to avoid contact
with energized electrical conductors. Applicable safety
regulations must be followed, such as VDE, VBG 4,
OSHA 1919, and other consensus safety standards.
Caution!
Maintenance and repair must be performed by trained
and qualified personnel who are knowledgeable in
equipment national safety requirements!
2.3.2 Potentiometer
– Remove the trigger cam on the feedback unit shaft.
– Carefully remove the PCB together with all its components (unscrew four fixing screws),
observing cable connections!
– Mark the electrical connections of the potentiometer and remove them at the terminal
strip.
– Loosen the toothed–wheel fixing at the potentiometer shaft and remove the toothed
wheel.
– Unscrew the fixing screws at the potentiometer.
– Replace the defective potentiometer.
– Re–assemble in reverse order.
– Align and set zero point in accordance with section 1.2.2 and 1.2.3.

All depicted items which are not mentioned in the text are not applicable for this unit. Since further development may necessitate making modifications to
existing equipment, its conformity with the relevant illustrations and drawings is not always ensured. RAYTHEON MARINE will be under no liability
whatever that may arise from any such differences.
3.1 General
The feedback unit is a part of the control loop of a steering control system. Limit switches
switch the steering gear off after the end position of the rudder has been reached, and a
microswitch (optional) signalises the midship position of the rudder. With some types of the
feedback unit, an electrical signal proportional to the rudder angle is also delivered. This
signal is required for the follow up (FU) via an autopilot and for the display at an actual
rudder position indicating unit (RIA).
The feedback unit can be directly attached at the shaft of the rudder or at a regulating unit
of the steering gear by means of corresponding attachment assemblies.
3.2 Construction
Fig. 3– 2 shows the construction of the feedback unit.
For the equipping of the individual variants, refer to the ’Technical Data’.
The following components are mounted on a PCB:
– Limit switches B1 and B4
– Potentiometer R1 and R2
– Microswitch B5 (optional for all versions) and
– Terminal strip
The PCB is fixed in the casing with four screws. The casing has six bore holes on its
topside for cable bushings and an earthing screw. The feedback unit shaft carries cams for
activating the limit switch and a toothed wheel for adjusting the potentiometer, which has a
corresponding toothed wheel on its shafts. The casing is sealed with a protective hood
against environmental influences.
