Using the Vulcan in an AP24/AP28 system
Command transfer
If your Vulcan is connected to an autopilot system including an
AP24 or AP28 control unit, only one control unit can be active at the
same time. An inactive control unit is indicated with a square with a
cross symbol in autopilot controller pop-up.
Locking remote stations
The AP24/AP28 includes a Remote Lock function that disables
autopilot control from other units. A locked control unit is indicated
with a key symbol in autopilot controller pop-up.
When the remote lock function is enabled on an AP24/AP28 control
unit, only the active control unit stays in command. No transfer of
command to Vulcan or other autopilot control units on the system
can take place.
You can only unlock the remote stations from the AP24/AP28 unit in
command.
Using the autopilot in an EVC system
When the Vulcan is connected to an EVC system via the SG05, you
can take manual control of the steering regardless of the autopilot
mode.
The mode indicator on the pilot pop-up is replaced by a dash to
indicate EVC override.
The system returns to Vulcan control in standby mode if no rudder
command is given from the EVC system within a predefined period.
