Autopilot
If an AC12N, AC42N, or an H5000 autopilot computer is connected
to the system, autopilot functionality is available in the system.
The system does not allow for more than one autopilot computer
on the network.
The display unit automatically detects the autopilot computer
available on the network and presents settings, configuration and
user options for the connected computer.
The Vulcan Installation manual describes installation and
configuration of the AC12N and AC42N autopilot computers. H5000
specific options are found in the separate H5000 Installation manual
delivered with the H5000 Pilot.
An Autopilot is designed to maintain an accurate course in various
sea conditions with minimal helm movements.
Safe operation with the autopilot
Warning:
An autopilot is a useful navigational aid,
but DOES NOT replace a human navigator.
Warning:
A physical standby button should be
available for the autopilot. The NAC-1 comes with a
standby button, compatible remote controllers with a
standby button can be used with the other autopilot
computers.
Activating the autopilot
