Title: Operation of Rudder Position Sensor
Post by: Jim Hardesty on April 15, 2016, 05:42:31 AM

In attempt to improve the operation of my Autohelm st4000+ autopilot I installed a rudder position sensor (rps). Got it installed (a real pita) but I don't see the display I expected. The manual isn't clear to me what I should see. I just don't see bars or a pointer on the display when I move the rudder. I did go into the set-up and add the rps. I did a resistance check on the outputs and as best as I can tell (don't have factory values) every thing seems to be working. My question for those who use a rps is. What should the display look like?
Thanks,
Jim

Sounds like it is set to "No Bar"... Go into set up and check the Rudder Bar setting first..

I did that. I'll recheck it to see that it took.
Thanks
