seconds or when the heading error has been corrected. The autopilot will then resume
the previous response setting and continue normal operation.
- Off
- Narrow: The autopilot is most sensitive to sudden course changes corrected
- Medium: The autopilot is configured to the medium value when correcting sudden
course changes
- Wide: The autopilot is least sensitive to sudden course changes
•
Adapt: Software feature that continues to adjust parameters that are essential for the
steering performance, e.g. speed, trim, draught and tide effects. When activated these
parameters are optimized during the voyage in response to the vessel's behavior.
- ON/OFF
•
Limits: Allows control of the True Wind Angle range where Gust and True Wind Speed
response can be configured and controlled
- TWA min: Minimum True Wind Angle that gust and True Wind Speed response operate
in.
- TWA max: Maximum True Wind Angle that gust and True Wind Speed response
operate in.
- Bear away max: Maximum angle the vessel will bear away during stability control
- Cruising speed: The preferred cruising speed for this vessel (comfortable and
economical)
- Rudder limit: Determines the maximum rudder movement in degrees from midship
position that the autopilot can command the rudder in the automatic modes. The
Rudder limit setting is only active during autosteering on straight courses, NOT during
course changes. Rudder limit does not affect Non-Follow-up steering.
- Off course: Defines the limit for the off course alarm
•
Manual speed: If neither boat speed or SOG data is available and or deemed reliable a
manual value for speed source can be entered and used by the autopilot to aid steering
calculations
Sailing (H5000)
•
Wind mode: Select what wind function the autopilot will use when in wind mode
- Auto:
If TWA is <70º: Wind mode will use AWA
If TWA is ≥70º: Wind mode will use TWA
- Apparent
- True
- Polar
•
Gust response: Effects how the autopilot will react to rapid changes in heel angle caused
by gusts.
- Gust Min: Minimum gust in knots before gust compensation is applied
- Response rate: Adjust how aggressively the autopilot will react to gusts
- TWA response: Controls the size of the window in which gust response will operate
•
TWS response (True Wind Speed): Used to compensate for long term changes in wind
speed. If the average wind speed increases and stays high, the boat will bear away
accordingly, and remain low to the wind until the wind decreases
- Response rate: Set the rate of TWS response. 1 = slowest response, 10 = quickest
response
•
Tack angle: Controls the angle that the boat will tack to between 50º - 150º in AUTO mode
•
Tack time: Controls the rate of turn (tack time) when performing a tack in AUTO and Wind
mode.
•
Heel compensation: Provides protection against roll induced broaching in heavy seas or
high gust conditions by applying the correct amount of rudder compensation before
adverse events become dangerous.
- Response rate: Set the rate of heel compensation. 1 = slowest response, 10 = quickest
response
