3.6 Pilot response
The response level controls the relationship between course
keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/ drive activity. Range
is from 1 to 9.
Making temporary changes to pilot response
Pilot response is set up during commissioning of the SmartPilot
system however you can make temporary changes to the pilot
response at any time by accessing the
Pilot response menu
from; Main menu > Pilot Response
1. From the Main menu highlight Pilot response and press
SELECT .
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the response value
to the required setting.
3. Press SAVE to save the response value.
Setting Options
Levels 1 to 3 Minimize the amount of pilot
activity. This conserves power,
but may compromise short-term
course-keeping accuracy.
Levels 4 to 6 Should give good course keeping
with crisp, well controlled turns under
normal operating conditions.
Levels 7 to 9 Gives the tightest course keeping and
greatest rudder activity (and power
consumption). This can lead to a
rough passage in open waters as the
SPX system may ‘fight’ the sea.
