RESPONSE MODE
The Response Mode controls the response of the steering. Different
selections are available dependent on whether the heading source is from
the Halcyon Gyro-Stabilised Compass, or from standard heading source.
Response Settings with Halcyon Gyro-Stabilised
Compass
NORM
– Normal course keeping and rudder response (default).
ECON
– Economy: The rudder movement is limited, this reduces the
overall power consumption of the Pilot system, however there is a slight
reduction in course keeping.
PERF 1
to
4
– Performance: Rudder movement is increased to give added
course keeping performance at the expense of additional power
consumption.
Of the four PERF settings, PERF 1 is the minimum setting and PERF 4 is
the maximum.
Response Settings with Halcyon 2000 compass or
other sources
NORM
- Normal course keeping and rudder response (default).
ECON
- Economy: the rudder movement is limited, this reduces the
overall power consumption of the Pilot system, however there is a slight
reduction in course keeping.
DWIND
– Down wind: The response is changed for down-wind steering
by applying the rudder more quickly. This allows the Pilot to hold a better
course in adverse conditions, such as sailing down-wind or with a
quartering sea. However there is an increase in the power consumption.
ECON consumes the least amount of power when steering and offers the
slowest response time consumes the most power and has the highest
response time down wind.
