The control unit shown above can operate as a stand alone unit
in an autopilot system or combined in a multistation system. In a
multistation system the command can easily be transferred from
one unit to another. Units not in control will display "Inactive".
The AP20 system is capable of the following primary steering
modes: STBY (manual steering), AUTO, NAV and WIND, each
mode having a dedicated push button.
Each of the mode push buttons is clearly identified with the
primary function in large text, and a secondary function listed in
smaller text. Each button provides you with the ability to access
a primary display, a secondary display and/or multiple function
displays.
A group of user adjustable settings are provided in the AP20
USER SETUP MENU (page 31). The settings allows adjustment
of display visibility, selection of heading sensors, navigation and
position sources and the ability to select between automatic or
manual adjustable sea state filter.
Alarms are presented in plain text to alert you of system and
external data failure conditions. Alarms include both audible and
visual presentations. The alarm listing is on page 109.
