Its design features a non-flammable polyester housing reinforced with fiberglass and a seawater-resistant aluminum mounting plate, ensuring durability in marine environments. The unit’s material is Arnite T06 200 PBT.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The \u003cstrong\u003eRF14XU\u003c\/strong\u003e provides dual outputs for versatile integration. It generates a variable-frequency signal, primarily intended for Simrad autopilots, with a reference frequency of 3400 Hz at mid-position. This signal varies at a rate of 20 Hz per degree of rudder movement, increasing toward port and decreasing toward starboard. Simultaneously, it provides a voltage output proportional to the rudder angle for dedicated indicators, with a variation of ±9 volts around half the supply voltage.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The unit requires a 24 V DC power supply (with a tolerance of -10% to +30%), although compatibility with 12\/24 V DC +\/-20% has been noted for earlier versions. Its current consumption is 100 mA. The sensor is designed to operate within a temperature range of -25 °C to +55 °C and can be stored from -30 °C to +70 °C. It features IP56 waterproofing. The product weighs 2.8 kg. The supplied cable is 15 meters long and equipped with a connector. The transmission linkage is made of 345 mm stainless steel with two ball joints, ensuring a 1:1 transmission ratio. The sensor includes a double set of micro-switches that can serve as electrical limit switches for the steering system. The usable rudder angle for signal control is ±90 degrees, although the shaft can rotate through 360 degrees. Accuracy is ±0.25° within ±5°, and ±0.5° beyond that, with a repeatability of ±0.1°. The safe distance from the compass is 1.0 m. Installation is flexible, allowing horizontal, vertical, or inverted mounting.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad Pro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56137030697300,"sku":"22506950","price":2324.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/web-simrad-pro-rf14xu-rudder-feedback-frequency-voltage_22506950-01.jpg?v=1781648873","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-us\/products\/simrad-pro-rf14xu-rudder-feedback-sensor","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
