The Follow Up Lever is activated by the panel mounted “FU SELECT” key and confirmed as active by the corner status LED. In the active condition, movement of the FU Lever to Port (red) & Stbd (green) of the amidships (0) position will result in proportional and linear rudder angle application as ordered, up to hard over rudder at full (max.) scale.

A maximum of four Follow Up Units can be included in the standard Navitron Steering System and each is equipped with two electrically isolated potentiometers to provide isolated demands to the Steering Controllers of separate rudder systems (if applicable).

Control is automatically passed between the Wheel Follow Up Unit and between Lever Follow Up Units by operation of the “FU SELECT” key on the required Follow Up Unit.

The NT1001 FU can be included in the standard Navitron Steering Console or desk control panel and/or located remotely in wheelhouse or protected bridge wing locations.
