8.1 SPX and SmartPilot autopilot
installation
For information on installing and connecting an
SeaTalk
ng SPX autopilot system or a SeaTalk
SmartPilot autopilot system, refer to the installation
instructions that accompanied your course computer.
8.2 Pilot response
The response level controls the relationship between
course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/
drive activity. Range is from 1 to 9.
Making temporary changes to pilot response
Pilot response is set up during commissioning of
the SmartPilot system however you can make
temporary changes to the pilot response at any time
by accessing the
Pilot response menu from; Main
menu > Pilot Response
1. From the Main menu highlight Pilot response
and press SELECT .
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the
response value to the required setting.
3. Press SAVE to save the response value.
Setting Options
Levels 1 to 3 Minimize the amount of pilot
activity. This conserves
power, but may compromise
short-term course-keeping
accuracy.
Levels 4 to 6 Should give good course
keeping with crisp, well
controlled turns under normal
operating conditions.
Levels 7 to 9 Gives the tightest course
keeping and greatest
rudder activity (and power
consumption). This can lead
to a rough passage in open
waters as the SPX system
may ‘fight’ the sea.
