Sailing
This option allows for manually changing parameters that were set during the
commissioning of the autopilot computer. For more details of the settings, refer to the
separate documentation for the autopilot computer.
•
Tack time: Controls the rate of turn (tack time) when performing a tack in Heading hold
and Wind mode.
•
Tack angle: Controls the angle that the boat will tack to between 50º - 150º in Heading
hold mode
•
Wind function: Select what wind function the autopilot will use when in wind mode
- Auto:
If TWA is <70º: Wind mode will use AWA

Steering
This option allows for manually changing parameters that were set during the
commissioning of the autopilot computer. For more details of the settings, refer to the
separate documentation for the autopilot computer.
•
Auto response: controls the rate that which the autopilot reacts to any environmental
influences on the vessels desired course
- Off: The autopilot will always remain in the response mode selected
- Economy: The autopilot will need to sense large environmental changes before
increasing the response setting
- Normal: The autopilot will need to sense moderate environmental changes before
increasing the response settings
- Sport: The autopilot will be most sensitive to changing conditions and will
automatically increase its response rate to counter environmental changes
•
Recovery: Allows the user to set the sensitivity to course errors and how the autopilot will
react to unexpected events, for example sudden wave or wind shifts. This function allows
the autopilot to instantaneously increase the steering response to its maximum setting
(Perf 5), and make a rapid recovery. The Recovery will automatically switch off after 15
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
•
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
