SWITCHING ASSISTED STEERING OFF
At any time, while Assisted Steering is operating, pressing up and down
together switches it off.
HEADING ALARM
When Assisted Steering is in operation, an alarm can be set to sound whenever
the heading exceeds a pre-set amount from a chosen heading. The chosen
heading is the heading logged when assisted steering was selected. Alarm ope-
ration is inhibited when Assisted Steering is off. The alarm, when set, sounds
whenever the heading is at or outside the alarm setting to port or starboard.
FIGURE 5 - Alarm Boundaries set at +/-9
The alarm setting can be altered at any time during normal operation by pressing
up to increase its value, or down to decrease it. The alarm boundaries are
shown by the steering chevrons, as shown on Figure 5, for two seconds when
the key is released, whereupon the display returns to the normal steering display.
SETTING OR STOPPING THE ALARM
During assisted steering, press up to switch the alarm on and down to switch
it off. The bell symbol shows when the alarm is on.
Whenever the alarm is on, and the heading during assisted steering is outside
the boundaries set at the desired heading, the alarm sounds, and the bell symbol
flashes.
ENGINEERING
Engineering settings means those adjustments which seldom need changing,
but which affect how the unit operates. The settings (as are all those which can
be selected in normal operation too) are stored even when power is disconnect-
ed. There are three operating characteristics which can be set in Engineering:
Magnetic or True heading display; Magnetic Variation; and Compass error
(deviation) compensation settings.
