24. ule The electronic drive module contains a voltage section and a frequency section The voltage section outputs a voltage to the rudder angle indicator s which is proportional to the rudder angle The voltage varies 9 volts around half the supply voltage The frequency section generates a variable frequency signal with 3400 Hz as midposition reference This section is only used if a Simrad autopilot is connected to RF14XU The signal varies at a rate of 20 Hz degree increasing when the rudder moves to port and vice versa The shaft of the Feedback Unit is free to travel 360 degrees but only 90 degrees from midposition are used for signal control RF14XU is equipped with two sets of micro switches which can be used as electrical limit switches for the steering gear 20220562E 13 Simrad RI9 Rudder Angle Indicator 2 2 Technical specifications Dimensions See Fig 2 1 and Fig 3 2 Protection IP56 Ambient temperature 10 55 C Supply voltage 24VDC 1090 2090 Frequency section 12 40V DC Output RAI Midship reference 0 5 x supply voltage Full deflection 9V Output autopilot 3400Hz 20Hz degree No of indicators 5 in parallel Rudder angle 245 changeable to 60 70 or 90 Limit switches use Adjustable from 5 to 160 ka o Ng E zi gt 80 3 151 gt 012 0470
