PILOT SPEED CAL
The ACP computer unit can take a direct speed input from a paddle wheel
with a hall-effect output. Normally the Pilot uses boat speed supplied via
the Fastnet network from the instrument system, this facility is only used
when the installation does not include a compatible instrument system.
All B&G paddle wheel type speed sensors are compatible. The Hertz/Knot
value is entered into the system to ensure the Pilot steering response is
controlled with reference to an accurate boat speed. The default
Hertz/Knot value is 3.80; this is the default setting for B&G speed
sensors.
To determine if the value is correct compare the boat speed value
displayed by the Pilot display (when the
Speed
Key is pressed) with the
displayed value of speed on the log/speedometer fitted.
Setting the Speed Calibration Value
Note
The speed cal reading is inversely proportional; i.e. to increase the boat
speed, decrease the Hertz/Knot value.
Joystick Type
The joystick allows direct control of the rudder via the Pilot computer for
quick and responsive steering. Joystick steering is engaged and
disengaged with the separate Red Joystick Button. The lever can only be
moved to port or starboard.
There are two joystick steering options available to the helmsman:
Normal Steering:
The rudder moves in the direction of the joystick
movement, when the joystick returns to the central position the rudder
