Introduction
The external GyroPlus yaw sensor is an option to fit on Type 100/300
and Type 150/400 course computers. It provides the course computer
with precise information about the boat’s yaw (its rate of turn). The
course computer uses this information to improve course keeping:
•
Type 150/400 course computers: connecting the GyroPlus
enables nine response levels, provides enhanced course keeping
using AST (Advanced Steering Technology). It also allows
access to AutoLearn (self-learning steering calibration) when
used with or control units.
•
Type 100/300 course computers: connecting the GyroPlus
enhances performance with the autopilot set to response level 3.
Autopilot operation in response levels 1 and 2 is unchanged.
