20 ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator Instrument Owner’s Handbook

3. Loosen the starboard bolt that secures the ‘bullhorn’ ram (1) shaft to the end

bracket (2).

4. Assemble the U-bracket (3) over the end bracket (2) and the shaft of the ’bull-

horn’ ram (1).

5. Hand tighten the starboard ‘bullhorn’ bolt to hold the U-bracket (3) in posi-

tion.

6. Fully open the hose clamps (6) using a flat-blade screwdriver.

7. Hang the hose clamps (6) over the ‘bullhorn’ ram (1).

8. Site the spacers (4) on the ‘bullhorn’ ram (1) and hold, temporarily, with adhe-

sive tape.

9. Pull the shaft (9) out of the linear feedback transducer (5) until the alignment

mark (10) is level with the end of the body (11).

10. Position the linear feedback transducer (5) on top of the spacers (4) so that the

threaded end of the shaft passes through the U-bracket (3).

Note:

The linear feedback transducer should, under normal circumstances, be assembled

with the shaft (9) pointing to starboard. However, if it is not possible to orientate the unit in

this way, port installation is possible provided that the red and green wires are reversed at

the ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator instrument (or course computer).

11. With the adjustment screw and barrel aligned with the spacers, close the hose

clamps (6) around the linear feedback transducer (5) and the ‘bullhorn’ ram

(1).

12. Tighten the ‘bullhorn’ bolt to retain the U-bracket (3).

13. Fit and tighten the nut (7) and washer (8) to the shaft of the linear feedback

transducer (5).

Transducer cabling

General

Each transducer type is supplied with sufficient cable to run from the mounted

position to either the ST60+ Rudder Angle Indicator instrument (for operation as

a master) or to an autopilot (for operation as a repeater).

If you are connecting for repeater operation, use the instructions in your autopilot

handbook to connect the transducer to the autopilot.

Running the cable

The manner in which you run the cable will depend on the locations of the

transducer and instrument (or autopilot). The following guidelines are provided:

• When running cable from a Linear Rudder Reference Transducer, leave a loop

of cable at the end of the Linear Rudder Reference Transducer, sufficient to

allow for movement of the ‘bullhorn’.
