1 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Panorama Mk2 indicator system is produced and tested in accordance with the European Marine Equipment Directive 96/98. This means that the AP50 complies with the highest level of tests for non-military marine electronic navigation equipment existing today.

The Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC (MED), as amended by 98/95/EC for ships flying EU or EFTA flags, applies to all new ships, to existing ships not previously carrying such equipment, and to ships having their equipment replaced.

This means that all system components covered by annex A1 must be type-approved accordingly and must carry the Wheelmark, which is a symbol of conformity with the Marine Equipment Directive.

Simrad has no responsibility for the incorrect installation or use of the Panorama Mk2 indicator, so it is essential for the person in charge of the installation to be familiar with the relevant requirements as well as with the contents of this manual, which covers correct installation and use.

The purpose of the Marine Equipment Directive is to enhance safety at sea and to prevent marine pollution through the uniform application of the relevant international instruments relating to equipment listed in Annex A1.

As there are many interfacing requirements in the standards/codes, integrated systems and integrated certification lead to more efficient and effective management of safety, environmental, issues and quality.

The Marine Equipment Directive also constitutes a part of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. The ISM Code was included as a new chapter (IX) of SOLAS in 1994, and is mandatory for: passenger ships not later than 1st of July, 1998; oil tankers; chemical tankers; gas carriers; bulk carriers and cargo high speed craft of 500 gross tonnage and upwards not later than 1st of July, 1998; and other cargo ships and mobile offshore drilling units of 500 gross tonnage and upwards not later than 1st of July, 2002.

It is required that both the shipping company and ships shall be certified by the Administration (the government of the state whose flag the ship is entitled to fly), by an organization recognized by the Administration or by the government of the country acting on behalf of the Administration.

2.2 Mounting instructions The Panorama Mk2 indicator is designed to be mounted on the ceiling of the bridge. The cables are run through the rear panel or through the ceiling.

Make sure that the instrument is mounted on an even surface so that the instrument housing does not get wry.


8 20220729D

2.3 Connections The Panorama Mk2 is protected from ESD (static electricity). I.e. when mounting no special protection from ESD is needed.

After dismantling the rear panel (lid) the connection terminals are visible. Wire gauges between 0.5 (AWG20) and 2.5 mm2 (AWG12) can be used for the terminals.

The electrical wiring between the PANORAMA MK2 indicator and the RF14XU Rudder Feedback Unit is shown in Figure 2-4, Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6.

Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 show complete rudder angle indicator systems including Robertson RI9 panel/bulkhead mount indicators.

If remote dimmer is preferred, the build-in dimmer can be removed from the indicator (after dismantling the rear plate) and mounted e.g. in a control panel. A plug to seal the hole in the rear plate is included on delivery.

2.4 Adjustment and control When the instrument has been properly connected it must be checked for correct indication and eventually adjusted.

Make sure the pointer is in exact centre position when the 24V Power supply is disconnected. If not, gently turn the mechanical zero adjustment screw until it does.

Caution ! Do not turn this screw more than ±90° from its original position.

Note ! Before making further adjustment to the indicator, the Rudder Feedback unit must be correctly installed and aligned (ref section 3.3) and adjusted for midship position (ref. section 3.6).

Turn the rudder to maximum position, port and starboard.

Note ! The instrument reading should be the same as the rudder angle. If necessary R16 can be adjusted to make the instrument read the actual rudder angle. Potentiometer R16 is placed on the right side of the three blue potentiometers. See Figure 2-2.

Remember to remount the rear panel plate with all 4 screws to ensure the IP66 protection of the instrument.

To reverse the indicator deflection, the brown lead to terminal 8 of the RF14XU terminal board must be connected to terminal 9, see Figure 3-4.

3 RF14XU RUDDER FEEDBACK UNIT

3.1 General The rudder feedback unit transmits a signal proportional to the rudder angle. It is mounted close to the rudder stock and is mechanically connected to the rudder by a transmission link in a 1:1 ratio.

The RF14XU Rudder Feedback Unit consists of a glass-reinforced non-flammable polyester housing with a mounting plate of seawater resistant aluminium. It contains a potentiometer, limit switches and an electronic (drive) module. The electronic 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 with half the supply voltage as reference.

The frequency section generates a variable frequency signal with 3400 Hz as midposition reference. This section is only used if a Robertson 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, however 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.

3.2 Technical specifications Dimensions: ................ See Figure 3-1. Protection:................... IP56 Ambient temperature: . –25 - +55°C Operating voltage: ...... 19-40V (Frequency section 12-40V DC) Output RAI: ................ Midship reference:

Figure 3-1 RF14XU, dimensions

3.3 Installation Before installation, check that the alignment mark on the mounting plate agrees with the mark on the shaft. Bring the rudder to midship position. The feedback unit should be mounted on a plane surface and secured by bolts through the three holes in the mounting plate. It should be linked to the rudder in accordance with Figure 3-2. It is important that the linkage is linear, i.e. the A-a and D-d are pairs of equal length. This will give a 1:1 ratio between the rudder travel and that of the feedback unit shaft.

Figure 3-2 RF14XU - Mounting

Instruction Manual

20220729D 15

3.4 Wiring Wiring to the RI9 and the Panorama Mk2 Rudder Angle Indicators is shown in Figure 2-4. Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 also show how a combination of RI9 and Panorama Mk2 can be connected to the RF14XU. The cables are carried through cable glands and connected to the terminal board. To avoid any mechanical damage, the cables should be run in a conduit between the rudder feedback unit and the rudder indicator(s). The cable screen must be connected to the internal ground terminal. Ref. picture below.

Figure 3-3 Screen termination

Note ! If the RF14XU and the indicators are powered from an unsmoothed 24V supply, the enclosed 470μF capacitor must be connected across the voltage supply terminals (+, –) to avoid off-set on the indicator reading.

3.5 Other rudder angles The RF14XU is normally delivered for ±45 degrees rudder angle (violet, brown and pink wires are not connected). For ±60 degrees, connect brown wire to terminal 10, for ±70 degrees, connect pink to terminal 10 and for ±90 degrees, connect the violet wire to terminal 10. White wire must remain connected. To reverse the indicator deflection, the brown wire to terminal 8 must be connected to terminal 9. All the above refer to connections between the terminal board and the internal of RF14XU, see Figure 3-4

20220729D 17

3.6 Adjustments After having tightened all mechanical parts and connected all cables, the following adjustment must be carried out:

1. Check that the rudder is set to midship position.

2. Measure the voltage between "U" and "+", respectively "–" on the RF14XU terminal board. If the two measured voltages do not have the same numerical value, loosen the two clamping screws on the potentiometer and turn the potentiometer housing. (Figure 3-5 pos. 5) until the same numerical value is measured. The RF14XU is now set to midposition. Tighten the two clamping screws.

After installation, the cable glands should be sealed with silicon to prevent water from seeping in. Also apply silicon grease to the gasket between the bottom and top cover.

4 APPROVALS

4.1 Product compliance schemes Electronic navigation equipment on boats and ships within the European Common marked (EC) are regulated by two main directives: • Directive 89/336/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility, "EMC

directive" − This directive is applicable to more or less all boats,

including leisure boats. Refer CE mark section below • Council Directive 96/98/EC of 20 December 1996 on marine

equipment, "Marine directive" or "MED" − This directive is valid for ships that come under

international conventions such as LL66, Colreg, Marpol, and Solas. Refer to the Wheelmark section below

The Marine directive requirements include the requirements of the EMC directive, and a product which comply with the Marine directive is therefore automatically also in compliance with EMC directive.

CE mark

The CE mark is placed on a product as the manufacturer’s visual identifier that the product meets the requirements of relevant European Directives. The CE mark is mandatory for a wide range of products sold within or exported to the European market, and applies to all Electric- and Electronic equipment.

When the equipment is tested according to the requirements in the Directive 89/336/EEC, the CE marking is applied to the units to symbolize Simrad’s Declaration of Conformity with the directive.

The CE declaration for any CE marked unit can be obtained from your Simrad distributor.

Wheelmark

0801/04

The Wheelmark symbol (Mark of Conformity) is an accreditation that is required for equipment placed on board ships for which safety certificates are issued by, or on behalf of, Member States of the European Union.


20 20220729D

Before a wheelmark can be affixed to a product, an independent organization appointed by a European national authority (a Notified body) has to undertake conformity assessment, and test reports and a MED-B certificate have to be issued. These test reports and certificates have to be kept by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer is allowed to affix the Wheelmark symbol and issue a declaration of conformity only if the manufacturer also holds a relevant QA certificate (MED-D).

The wheelmark shall be followed by:

- the identification number of the notified body (GL Luxembourg = 0801) which has performed the conformity assessment procedure and the last two digits of the year in which the mark is affixed.

Note ! When a complete system (e.g. an autopilot system) is wheelmark approved, only the main unit(s) in the system wears the wheelmark symbol. This to avoid the misunderstanding that all standard and optional units in a system retain their wheelmark approval if they are installed in a not approved system. The type examination certificate (MED-B) for the wheelmarked system lists all optional equipment that is part of the wheelmark approval. The EC Declaration of Conformity do also show which units that are part of the approval.

EU’s official database (MarED Product Database) contains information about wheelmarked equipment. This database is found on:

http://www.mared.org/

4.2 Certificates For certificates and CE declarations regarding the Panorama Mk2 indicator, refer to the following pages.

The certificates and CE declarations for any wheel marked equipment can be obtained from your Simrad distributor.
