Navico NAC-2, Commissioning Manual

Page: 10 / 44

Autopilot controllers
The NAC can be controlled by various Navico control units. This can
be dedicated autopilot controllers, Multifunction displays (MFDs)
and autopilot remote controllers used in combination with
instrument systems, or any combination of the above.
Autopilot functions
NAC-2 and NAC-3 include a large range of functions, but not all
autopilot controllers have access to all options. E.g. autopilot
systems including only an autopilot remote controller (without
display unit) do not have access to turn patterns.
Autopilot computer setup
When the autopilot installation is completed, the setup of the
autopilot computer must be performed. Failure in setting up the
autopilot correctly may prohibit the autopilot from functioning
properly.
The setup of the autopilot computer is divided in two main steps:
• Installation settings
- Including dockside and seatrial commissioning. See
"Dockside
setup"
on page 13 and
"Sea trial"
on page 21
• User adjustment of autopilot settings
