 Remote FU Tiller (dual) STEERING
Operating instructions CONTROL

1 General
The remote FU tiller (dual) is used on the bridge to steer a course and is installed at the vessel
control panel or navigating stand (F OLLOW U P). Two remote FU tillers are needed at all
times to act as dual tillers for twin rudder equipment with separate rudder blade control.
Either of two operating modes – SYNCHRONOUS or INDEPENDENT -- may be selected.
The scale graduation is ± 35 ° , as standardand the control knob deflection angle is ± 60 °. The
control knob is slightly engaged when it is at the mechanical zero position. The scale is
illuminated.
In order to change the rudder angle (e.g. to starboard) turn the control knob clockwise.
The effect on steering is similar to that of a hand wheel.

Operating instructions
These operating instructions contain every operational procedure as well as information about
behaviour when alarms occur. Such alarms are indicated on the digital display units and also by
means of flashing LEDs and audible alarm signals.

Service manual
In addition to the operating manual, there is also a service manual. It contains the following:
-- Information relating to installation and initial start-up
-- Information relating to maintenance and repairs, and
-- a description of the tiller

2 Remote FU Tiller (dual) in Steering Control system

Remote FU tillers (dual) are bus users on the user device bus (BG bus) *) on the NP 2000
autopilot control transmitter within a secondary steering system.
The remote FU tiller (dual) is activated by setting the steering mode selector either to the
REMOTE or the AUTO/REMOTE setting (see figure). The bus transfers the control signals,
and the NP2000 Autopilot Control Unit converts these into analogue control signals for the FU
amplifier.
The control point and operating mode (SYNCHRONOUS or INDEPENDENT) can be selected
on site. The selection is made according to the “Take Over” principle, i.e. only one control point
is active for SYNCHRONOUS operation, and both are active for INDEPENDENT operation.
A total of 15 bus users can be connected.

3 Notes to operating instructions

The system operates interactively (i.e. an action causes a reaction).

Each operating procedure shown must be completed step by step. Where necessary and in the
relevant sections, we have added useful supplementary notes alongside the illustrations
(symbols).

We recommend that you fold out the appendix page since it contains an illustration of all the
controls and indications.

4 Switching on
When the full rudder control system is switched on, the remote FU tillers (dual) are also
ready for operation in REMOTE or in AUTO/REMOTE mode.

4.1 General

indications Comments
Notes

For example:
red The display is indicating the current rudder
angle in ° , the relevant LED is illuminated.

If the final decimal point of the indicated figure

is illuminated, this means that an additional
0.5 ° is being indicated. In the example: 10,5°
Rudder position is indicated by illuminating the
relevant LED (PORT is red, STBD is green).
Both LEDs remain unlit when the rudder posi-
tion is 0 °

It is possible to have two different system configurations.

a) The FU tiller can only be used in REMOTE operating mode.
b) In AUTO/REMOTE operation mode, it is possible to switch between FU
tiller and autopilot operation without activating the steering mode selector.
