SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
iii
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.
CAUTION
Confirm that the power supply voltage
is compatible with the voltage rating
of the equipment.
Connection to the wrong power supply
can cause fire or damage the equipment.
Observe the following compass safe
distances to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass:
Separate the reversible pump at least one
meter from communications equipment,
communications antenna and communi-
cations cabling to prevent interference.
In case of power failure, turn off the
autopilot or manually steer the vessel.
Leaving the equipment in the AUTO or
NAV mode during power failure will
cause wear on the rudder mechanism

Type: 86-003-1011
Code No.: 100-236-231
CAUTION
Keep the following points in mind
when using Fantum Feedback
TM
.
The autopilot cannot detect the rudder
position when using Fantum
Feedback
TM . Therefore, over-steering
after reaching rudder limit can occur. If
over-steering continues, the drive unit
may malfunction, preventing automatic
steering. To prevent over-steering, keep
the following points in mind.
- Use the autopilot within the speed at
which the autopilot can control the
vessel. Pay particular attention when
keeping the stern facing windward (or
into the current) in the SABIKI mode.
- Always check the rudder position to
stop the rudder with the autopilot before
reaching the rudder limit.
- When the rudder reaches rudder limit,
the drive unit is temporarily disabled and
the autopilot cannot move the rudder. If
this occurs, the deviation alarm (see
section 3.5) sounds regardless of the
setting value. In this case, switch to the
STBY mode and turn the helm to move
the rudder.
Do not apply excessive force or shock
to the LCD.
The unit may be damaged.
WARNING
Install an control unit (or emergency
stop button) at each helm station, to
allow you to disable the autopilot in
an emergency.
If the autopilot cannot be disabled,
accidents may result.
To disable the autopilot by operating the
emergency stop button, set [In Port1] or
[In Port2] to [Go STBY] on the
[Universal Port] menu (see section 7.8).
Do not use high-pressure cleaners to
clean this equipment.
This equipment has the waterproof
rating outlined in the specifications, at
the back of this manual. However, the
use of high-pressure cleaning equipment
can cause water ingress, resulting in
damage to, or failure of, the equipment.
