Service Manual
1.3.2.1 Mounting the rudder feedback unit
NOTE: Please see dimensional drawing 101 C 528.HP005 for detailed

dimension data.
Depending on the amount of space available on board and the working range of
the rudder, one of two types of transmission can be selected.
(1) Linkage transmission

With this type of transmission the appropriately adjusted flat steel piece
supplied with the unit must be mounted to the rudder spindle (if not already
present) in accordance with the dimensional drawing.
The transmission ratio is 1 : 1 and can be configured for operating angles
of 0 to ± 45°. The drive shaft consists of a driving lever, two ball and sok-
ket joints and a connection threaded round bar.
Once the driving rod has been carefully adjusted, the threaded round bar
between the two ball and socket joints should be shortened to the required
length.
Systems withup to a maximum of two feedback units will

therefore require two driving rods.
After fitting, transmission should not be endangered from
loose objects in the area of the lever.
All acbles situated in the action range of the lever must be
fastened down.

Service Manual
(2) Chain drive
(Refer to dimensional drawing 101--528.HP005)

For rudder angles of max. +90° , the drive of the feedback unit should be
via chain wheels and chain.
The transmission ratio from chain drive is 2 : 1.
The tapholes (e.g. M6, depth 20mm) required for fastening the chain wheel
to the rudder stock are to be centered on the plane surface of the rudder
stock. Then the chain wheel is to be screwed on and to be pinned by
means of cylindrical pins. To ensure automatic chain tension, a chain tigh-
tener is to be mounted and to be placed in accordance with space condi-
tions (chain tightener included in the scope of delivery).
NOTE: For systems of 2 feedback units, two chain wheels -- arranged in

parallel -- are to be centered and screwed on the plane surface of
the rudder stock, and pinned.

Below mentioned sequence has to be followed

1. Adjusting of the rudder--feedback Circuit (Offset and Scale) by potentiome-
ters.
If the rudder does not follow the ruddercommand, change the polarity of the
feedback supply voltage from L1.32 to L1.35.
If the rudder moves to the opposite side, change the starboard/port cable con-
nections (see connection diagram, section 3.1.6.1)
2. Adjusting of the rudder slack and the rudder--overshoot D--Return (if nece-
sary).
3.After adjustment the cable link between L1.10 and L1.12 has to be removed.

-- Rudderscale of the Rudder Feedback Elektronic with potentiometer R154
3.1.2.1 Adjusting the offset of the Feedback-- circuit

Activate the Offset adustment of the feeback--circiut loop (Limits/Values--key)
Set the rudder to 0° (with Set rudder value = 0).
Adjust with the offset potentiometer R 149 (I/O--PCB) the rudder to 0°.
3.1.2.2 Adjustment of the rudderscale of the feedback--circuit (Limits/Values)

Set nominal rudder to 10° / --10° (display indication: Port = --10°; Stb = +10° )
(with SetRudder Value = 10°(--10°).
Adjust with the rudderscale potentiometer R154 (I/O--PCB) the rudder to 10°.
Optimize this adjustment at 30° .
3566E/102--886.DOC032 2--4 Edition:Aug 29, 2002

3.1.2.3 Adjustment of Rud Slack (Limits/Values).

Single Pump operation
Activate key: Limits/Value .
Rud Slack (Default--Setting=1°) decrease until the rudder starts to hunt.
Increase this set value until the rudder is to stabilised.
Set nominal value to 10° (--10° ) and let the rudder run to 0° .
Continue to optimize Rud Slack if necessary. After optimized adjustment of
Rud Slack below mentioned adjustment have to be repeated:
-- Offset value with potentiometer R149
-- RuderScale with potentiometer R154
If the rudder runs over the nominal value, there is the possibility to switch off the
rudder by D--Return 1 (see section 3.1.2.4) before it reaches the nominal value.
3.1.2.4 D-- Return Adjustment

Activate key Limits/Values.
With this parameter (D--Return) it is possible to create a rudder--lead.
This rudder--lead switches off the rudder--control before the nominal value is
achieved.
The D--Return--value has to be set in such a manner, that an overshoot of the
rudder over the nominal value is prevented.
Possible settings are 0 to 16.
Setting 0 means that the D--Return is switched off, 10 is the maximum setting.
Has to be checked!!!
In case of troubles on the feedback--signal (50Hz) the D--Return value has to be
reduced or set to 0 otherwise there will be a multilple valve--activation.
The safety of the valve--control has highest priority.
The respective switching--pulses are monitored as LED--control--signals at the
I/O--PCB.

Service Manual
3.1.2.5 Adjustment of double-- pump operation

(Switch on pump 2)
Because the rudder--moving--speed is duplicated with 2 pumps, the rudder slack
should be adapted to fast rudder operation.
Rud Slack 2 (Default = 1° )
This adjustment procedure has to be performed according to section 3.1.2.3.
Scale and offset setting should not be changed.
D--Return 2 (Default = 0°)
Because of the higher rudder--moving--speed there may be a requirement to set
another D--return.
This procedure has to be performed according to section 3.1.2.4.
3.1.2.6 Offset Adjustment of the analog Nominal--rudder lines

Activate key Limits/Value.
Select parameter Offs. Ana 1.
Measure the volatge at the analog output L1.1 L1.2 while the rudder
position is 0.
The offset value can be compensated stepwise (depending on polarity + or --)
within a set range of 0...+/-- 200.
Select parameter Offs. Ana 2
Measure the volatge at the analog output L1.4 L1.5 while the rudder
position is 0.
The offset value can be compensated stepwise (depending on polarity + or --)
within a set range of 0...+/-- 200.
3566E/102--886.DOC032 2--6 Edition:Aug 29, 2002

3.1.2.7 Adjustment of the Rudder 1 Feedback Input

If the feedback input receives its signal from a external Follow--Up amplifier or
from a Rudder--position amplifier, than an offset and scale adjustment has to be
performed also.
The 10V has to be optimized to max. rudder position.
To do this, it is possible to display the actual rudder value at the operating unit
(use the display key to look for the actual rudder).
Set rudder to 0° position and adjust the offset to 0° with potentiometer R 149.
Set rudder to Stb 30° and adjust 30° with potentiometer R 154.
Check this adjustment at rudder position of Port 30°.
(1) Rudder does not reach its end position

If the rudder--end--position is not reached by the setting of the nominal va-
lue, the amplification factor has to be increased by potentiometer R154
(see Fig. 2--2) until the actual value at the display of the operating unit is
identical to the mechanically position of the rudder.
(2) Rudder--end--positionis reached untimely
The amplification factor has to be decremented with potentiometer R154
until the nominal value is identical to the machanicaly position of the rudder.
(3) Offset correction
After the adjustment of the nominal values we recommend a correction of
the electrically offset. See section 3.1.1
Rudder 2 Feedback input:

This input is fixed to +/-- 10V according max. rudder and cannot be adjusted.
After the adjustmens of the autopilot control,

the jumper between L1.10 and L1.12 has to
be removed.
“FU Set up” has to be switched off via the
operator unit.

6.) If the voltage is <+3.8V or >+4.3V adjust with potentiometer R41 REF.MAG.
7.) In case the voltage is not adjustable with potentiometer R41, the Sonde has to be
altered closer to or further from the Magnetic compass.
8.) After distance alteration, repeat the voltage adjustment with Potentiometer R41
until “TMC REF Fail” disappears.
9.) Thereafter adjust the Sonde in its support until the Autopilot display shows the
same heading values as the Magnetic Compass and tighten the Sonde.
The potentiometer R59 SCALE SIN is for factory adjustment only!
In case it was disadjusted by fault, readjust as follows:

Turn the Magnetic Compass Card with an iron tool to 45° card reading. With this vol-
tage an TP 13 to TP 1 and on TP 14 to TP 1 of the NP2015/2025 I/O--PCB has to be
the same magnitude. If not readjusted with potentiometer R 59.

5 Constructional features of the NP2015/2025 Autopilot system
5.1 Basic System

The autopilot system is comprised of the following components (see Fig. 3--2:)
• Operator unit
The control unit is suitable for installation in bridge desks, steering stands or
for installation in a swivel housing:
• Control Unit
The main components of the control unit are:
-- a rack serving as central assembly housing for various electronic PCBs
-- the backplane for EMV and internal connections
-- the terminal connection block for ship‘s wiring
5.1.1 Operator Unit
The Operator Unit is the interface between the connection unit, the steering control and
the connected periphery devices.
There are various PCBs within the Control Unit.
A rack is used for housing the assemblies.
The operator unit is designed for installation in a control desk.

General operation is via inscribed membrane keys which are subdivided into two
groups:
-- Command keys for selection of the operating mode.
-- Function keys for individual adaptation
Several of the silicon keys are equipped with an LED display:

-- when the LED is lit this means,
the key and the corresponding function has been chosen.
-- when the LED flashes this means,
a system message (alarm, warning, value acceptance) is waiting and must be
acknowledged.
A rotary knob with a double function for the desired heading setting allows
-- a direct desired heading adjustment that will be immediately effective
-- a desired heading setting which will only be effective after activating the SET key.
3--37 3566ED/102--886.DOC032
Edition: Apr 10, 2002
Service Manual
Two inscribed status indicators with their own LED display display which compass has
been selected.
The display section of the operating unit consists of:

a 4 digit Heading display for the heading reading with resolution to1/10
degree.
-- an alphanumeric line which can be used as a text line or a bar graph
display
-- a 3 digit Preset Hedaing display for setting the desired heading
-- a one digit display that shows the currently used parameters.
5.1.1.1 Function of Operation Unit
Command keys
Command keys determine the operating mode of the NP2015/2025 Autopilot.
Command key for the operating mode HEADING CONTROL (COURSE CONTROL)
Command key for the operating mode TRACK CONTROL *
Command key for the operating mode RATE OF TURN

CONTROL *
Command key for presetting of the heading change manoeuvre

-- by a definite radius value
-- by a definite R.o.T limit value
* These operating modes are only selectable in connection with extended system
environments (navigation receiver, R.o.T. Tiller).
In case of an NP2015/2025 system with many NP2015/2025 control units,

the command keys are used for switching over between the control locations.
The switch--over ensures via the command keys of the chosen control unit:
-- in the same operating mode, the preset desired heading remains unchanged
-- on changing the operating mode, a set heading adaptation results
and the set heading corresponds to the heading.
3566E/102--886.DOC032 3--38 Edition: Sep 19, 2002

Function keys --Parameter Management--
The parameter management will optimally adjust the autopilot to

-- the relevant type of vessel
-- the external conditions (wind, currents and yawing)
-- optimize the control conduct
Parameter group:
A parameter group consists of the parameter values for YAWING,
RUDDER and CNT.RUDDER.
Up to a total of 6 parameter groups can be formed within the parameter administration.
These can then be called up and can perform control functions as required.
The parameter administration is also used for setting the limit values that support safe
ship guidance during heading or track regulation.
Function keys:
Key for opening or modifying a parameter group
Key for calling up a parameter group
Key for display and selection of possible sensors
Key for display or selection of various limit value parameters

5.2 Monitoring Functions of the NP2015/2025
The NP2015/2025 system is fitted with a complex monitoring function which allows
both internal and external irregularities to be recognized.
A system message (s. Operator Manual Chapter. 2.14 ) is generated in case of distur-
bances or errors; this message is displayed in plain text on the text line.
5.2.1 Monitoring the Heading Controller
Individually adjusted limit values (heading alarm thresholds) monitor the control devi-
ation and trigger a heading error alarm when these are exceeded.
• Heading monitor and off headingfunction

The heading monitoring function is always executed in conjunction with the
MAGNET compass. The magnet compass heading is checked against the
preset heading to make sure that it keeps within the set course alarm thresholds.
If the threshold is exceeded, the heading monitor alarm (external alarm -- relais
contact) is triggered.
The off heading function compares the difference of the Gyro Compass and the
preset heading. If the threshold is exceeded the off heading alarm is triggered. This
alarm is indicated on the panel and available as external relay contact.
5.2.2 Monitoring the Serial Data Transfer

A check is made here as to
-- whether data transmission is interrupted
-- the data format of data transmission
-- the valid character and/or the checksum
5.2.3 Plausibility Monitoring of the Connected Periphery Devices
Here, the system parts are continually checked for disturbances.
