Item Description Limits
Rudder
damping On SmartPilot systems with a
rudder reference transducer,
you can set the rudder damping
to prevent autopilot ‘hunting’.
Increasing the rudder damping
value reduces hunting. When
adjusting the value, increase
the damping one level at a
time until the autopilot stops
hunting. Always use the lowest
acceptable value. • 1 — 9
• 2 (default)
Item Description Limits
Rudder
limit If a rudder reference transducer
is fitted, this screen is used to set
the limits of the rudder control
just inside the mechanical end
stops, and thus avoid putting
the steering system under
unnecessary load. This should
be set when commissioning the
SmartPilot system. The limit
should be set to approximately 5
degrees less than the maximum
rudder angle.
Note: The rudder limit
screen is displayed only if a
rudder reference transducer
is fitted.
Note: If no rudder
reference has been fitted you
MUST ensure that adequate
provision is made to prevent
the steering mechanism from
impacting the endstops.
• 10º — 40º
• 30º (default)
Rudder
offset This specifies the offset from
amidships (zero adjustment). • 0 (default)
