Professional boat control panel NT850 – Type 3

steering system

Type 3 – SOLAS compliant dual independent rudder/quad pump system suitable for vessels from workboats and patrol craft (including high speed craft) to coastal and ocean going units of all tonnages with integral Analogue Heading Repeater (type NT880 AHR) and able to accept control inputs from proprietary Autopilot Systems. Dims: 497 x 500 x 200 mm Cut Out: 448 x 450 mm Dual Independent Rudder Systems benefit from simple synchronisation of rudder positions (when required) via inclusion of the NT850 NFU and immediate Override control is available to the operator in any emergency situation via use of the NT850 OVSW. Steering Mode and Pump selection is afforded by the NT850 STMS and NT850 STSS respectively (as shown above) to provide the required Steering Mode (Follow Up, Non Follow Up or Autopilot) plus selection of the Rudder System to be used (No 1, No 2 or both) plus Pump Selection (2 per rudder system) to allocate/share duties/redundancy as required. Operation is therefore straight forward with operating/control modes defined as follows: FU ……. Follow Up Wheel unit type NT850 WFU active. NFU …. Non Follow Up control type NT850 NFU active. Auto … Propietary Autopilot Steering active.
