Autopilot control head shows right rudder angle when left rudder has been applied

Should a rudder reference transducer be correctly installed and autopilot control head show right rudder angle when left rudder has been applied, then the rudder reference transducer leads have been connected to the incorrect Rudder terminals of the ACU or autopilot course computer.

To correct this installation error:
1) disconnect the rudder reference transducer's green lead which had been connected to the green Rudder terminal of the ACU or autopilot course computer and instead connect the green lead to the ACU's or autopilot course computer's red Rudder terminal terminal.
2) disconnect the rudder reference transducer's red lead which had been connected to the red Rudder terminal of the ACU or autopilot course computer and instead connect the red lead to the ACU's or autopilot course computer's green Rudder terminal terminal.
