Set by the APC routine.
[ATC] is not critical. It constantly compares the course set against the
course steered and slowly applies more rudder as necessary to reduce
any errors to zero. Errors may be due to wind, waves or other unbal-
anced forces such as single screw operation of a twin screw boat, an
off centre tow or weather helm on a sailing boat, etc. If the trim time is
set too high, it will take a long time to eliminate the course error. If it is
set too low it can start to degrade course stability.
In general, longer trim times (higher settings) should be set for large
boats and sailing boats and shorter trim times (lower settings) for small
boats and high speed planning boats. The factory default setting should
be acceptable for all but extreme applications.
5.3.7 P6, Adaptive Control [ADC]
Possible settings are [OFF] or [On].
This function is reserved for future functions.
5.3.8 P7, Automatic Pilot Calibration [APC]
Possible settings are [ON] or [OFF].
The APC routine automatically sets: [RUD], [SEA], [CRD], [ATC] and
[RRS].
The Autopilot will not function unless the boat pass the APC routine.
The APC will automatically determine and correct how wires and pipes
are connected. It will also learn how the boat reacts on different rudder
commands and automatically calibrate itself.
To learn how to perform the APC function, see Sea Trials.
5.3.9 P8, Rudder Reduction Speed [RRS]
Possible settings are [0] = Minimum to [9] = Maximum.
Set by the APC routine.
The [RRS] controls the flow of the pumpset. It will effect the pumpset,
but not a solenoid valve steering system.
The [RRS] will be set to [5] after the APC routine is performed. It is then
possible to increase or decrease the speed reduction of the pumpset
motor.
5.3.10 P9, Rudder angle limit [LIM]
Possible settings are [0°-99°]. Default setting is [00°].
An angle of 00° is the same as rudder angle limit disconnected (OFF).
Note!
Make sure [LIM] is set to 00
°
(OFF) during installation.
