h1000 pilot display
h1000 pilot
description
The h1000 pilot display is designed to be mounted above or below decks. The display head allows
control of the pilot and by installing multiple display heads, gives control at any station. It can be
connected to all other h1000 Instruments via the Fastnet
and navigational system.
Caution: it is essential that the pilot is calibrated before operati on. Details are given in the calibration
section of this manual.
In an integrated system, boat speed is supplied from the h1000 Speed/Depth Interface and wind speed
and wind angle from the h1000 Wind Interface via Fastnet
Compass and Wind modes. When a CND or NMEA position fixer is connected to the system, Navigate
mode becomes available. NMEA data is connected to the Universal Interface and then broadcast
across Fastnet
The display heads are supplied with a clip-in mounting bracket, which allows for easy installation.
Access from behind is not necessary to secure the unit in place. However to prevent theft or if removal
of the unit is not required, then locking studs and thumbnuts are supplied to allow for permanent
fixing.

h1000 compass unit
h1000 pilot
description
The h1000 compass is an electronic fluxgate for use with all h10 00 systems. The unit is housed in a
sealed casing constructed of high impact plastic. It is therefore suitable for on or below deck mounting.
If installed in a vessel with a steel or reinforced concrete hull it may be necessary to install the
compass unit outside the magnetic screening affect of the hull and super-structure.
Two Fastnet² connectors are provided at the base of the unit. These connectors allow connection to the
rest of the system for the supply of power and data.
siting the compass unit
Mount the compass upright on a flat vertical bulkhead where it will be:
x
A safe distance from external magnetic interference:
3m (10ft) from VHF, RDF, loudspeakers, depth sounders, engines, or power cables carrying
heavy current.
x
3m (10ft) from radar and SSB equipment.
x
Externally mounted on steel vessels.
x
Protected from physical damage.
x
Protected from water ingress (particularly bilge water).
x
Optimum positioning: as low as possible to minimise effect of pitching and rolling of boat.
mounting procedure
x
Secure the unit in the selected site using the non-magnetic self-tapping screws provided.
x
Route the Fastnet
e.g. engine starter, trim-tabs, etc.
x
Secure cables in place with cable clips or tie-wraps.
x
Avoid bending the cable through a tight radius, especially near the connector as this may damage
the wires inside the cable.

rudder reference unit (rru)
description/installation
description
The Rudder Reference Unit (rru) is a sealed, high specification potentiometer in a robust casing,
providing rudder position information to the pilot computer unit. The operating arm is constructed from
aluminium with three positions pre-drilled for the adjustable drag-link. The drag-link has ball-joints at
each end which connect the unit operating arm to the tiller arm or steering quadrant. The unit base has
four holes to allow for mounting. The unit is supplied with 10m (30ft) of 3-core screened cable.
key points when installing the rru
x
General consideration must be given to the steering system and its geometry before starting the
RRU installation. Many factors must be contemplated for a practical solution. The information
given here is for guidance only, although where a maximum or a minimum value is given these
must be adhered to.
x
Mount the rru on a flat surface next to the tiller arm or steering quadrant; construct a small
platform if necessary.
x
D o not lengthen the drag-link arm as this can transmit excessive vibration loads to the rru and
will invalidate the warranty.
x
The unit operating arm can be rotated through 360q; the mid-point of the potentiometer travel is
when the operating arm is opposite the cable entry point.
x
When the rudder is moved from hardover port to hardover starboard the rru arm should swing
through a minimum of 90q. This will ensure that there is sufficient voltage swing to the autopilot.
Page 7
description/installation
h1000 pilot
rudder reference unit
Measure the voltage difference between the green and blue wires of the rru; there should be a
minimum of 1V d.c. change from hardover to hardover.
Note: If there is less than a 1V d.c. change the pilot will not commission
x
After installation check full movement of the steering system ensuring that there is no fouling
between the steering gear, rru parts and drive unit.
x
Ensure that there is no backlash in the linkage between the rru and the st eering gear, otherwise
incorrect operation of the autopilot will occur.
The example shown overleaf is a plan view of a typical system with a tiller arm and quadrant. When
viewed in elevation, the ram drive arm and rudder reference unit drag-link must not be more than ±9
from horizontal. Ideally, all components should be horizontally aligned as this prevents excessive
stress during operation.

h1000 pilot
rudder reference unit
The RRU can be mounted in a variety of positions and orientations depending on the layout of the
steering system.
If the maximum rudder angle is less than 90q then the position of the RRU or the drag-link must be
adjusted so that the operating arm of the RRU swings through a minimum of 90.

90° MINIMUM RRU ANGLE
Page 10
h1000 pilot
description/installation
rudder reference unit
The rudder hardover angle should only be limited by th e rudder stop s, not the rru li nkage or pilo t drive
unit. Check that when hardover, the rru arm and drag-link do not form a straight line. If this occurs the
steering system could become damaged or jammed endangering the boat and crew. This fault can
easily be rectified, by adjusting the position of the RRU.
linear feedback unit
Where installation of the conventional rudder reference unit is difficult or physically impossible, a
linear feedback unit (SEN-RUD-LFB) can be used. The linear feedback unit comprises of a tube
approximately 23mm (7/8 inch) in diameter and 300mm (12 inch) long. This assembly is attached to the
top of the B&G Blue Ram Types T1 or T2. Each end of the linear feedback unit has a small rose-joint
which is attached to corresponding pillars on the ram, the ros e-joints are retained using washers and
spring clips.

ram drive unit installation
Note
: General consideration must b e given to the steering system and its geometry before starting
the installation. Many factors must be contemplated for a practical solution; the information
given here is for guidance only, although where a maximum or minimum value is given this
must be adhered to. It is essential that the unit be installed in a fully functional steering
system, with no backlash or stiffness when operating. Rectify any steering problems before
installation of the ram drive unit or the autopilot will not function correctly.
key points on installation
x
Check that the steering gear is in good condition. Rectify any steering defects prior to installation
of the ram.
x
The ram drive unit must be secured onto a flat, rigid base. It maybe necessary to construct a
platform section for the mounting plate. For angled rudderstocks, an angled platform section will
have to be constructed.
x
All setting-up and aligning of the ram drive unit with the steering system should be carried out
with the rudder in the amidships position and the ram arm at the centre point of its travel.
x
The angle between the ram arm and the tiller arm should be as shown in the following diagrams.
x
The ram arm should ideally be at right angles to the rudderstock. The ball-joint on the end of the
ram arm will allow a
MAXIMUM
of ±9qof vertical misalignment.
Caution: For Type 3 Ram Reservoir Installation, do not turn the black reservoir tap on or attempt to
move the piston rod until all of the following are completed:
x
The base foot of the ram and pump has been bolted into position.
x
The reservoir has been fixed to a bulkhead above the ram and pump.
x
The sealed reservoir transit cap has been replaced by the breather cap supplied.
x
The reservoir has been filled with the oil supplied.
When the checks listed above have been verified, the reservoir tap can be switched to the ‘
allowing the oil to flow between the reservoir and the pipe. (Tap “ON” position is in-line with the pipe).
