How to set maximum rudder angle for wind tacking
The tacking in the WIND mode requires the setting of maximum rudder angle. This an-
gle is calculated automatically when the NAVpilot is installed. If you need to change
the value, do the following:
1. Long press the key to open the menu.
2. Rotate the Course control knob to select the current setting value for [Wind Track
Rud Angle] then push the knob.
[Wind Track Rud Angle] also appears on the [Wind Option] menu.
3. Rotate the Course control knob to set the angle then push the knob.
4. Press the key to three times close the menu.
How to set the damping interval for wind data
You can set the damping interval for wind data to compensate for random fluctuation
in wind data. The setting adjusts (damps) the amount of delay between receiving the
data and displaying the data. Turn off wind damping if the wind data is received stably.
The port and starboard wind angles must be 55° or higher and the [Mode Type] must
be selected to [AWA] (see section 2.11.2) to use this function.
1. Long press the key to open the menu.
2. Rotate the Course control knob to select the current setting for [Wind Damping]
then push the knob.
[Wind Damping] also appears on the [Wind Option] menu.
3. Rotate the Course control knob to select [ON] then push the knob.
4. Rotate the Course control knob to select the current wind damping interval then
push the knob.
5. Rotate the Course control knob to set the interval then push the knob (setting
range: 0.7 - 99 sec.).
See the table below for wind angle and wind damping interval.
