8.5 Using the Set-up Wizard
The set-up wizard guides you through the steps for
setting important preferences, such as preferred
language and correct vessel type.
The Set-up Wizard contains 3 steps: Language
Selection, Vessel Hull Type selection and Welcome
Screen. When powering the Pilot Controller for the
first time, in an unconfigured system, the Set-up
Wizard is displayed automatically, and the first 3
steps listed below will not be required.
With the pilot in
Standby mode:
1. Select Menu .
2. Select Set-up .
3. Select Set-up Wizard .
4. Select the required language.
5. Select the required vessel type.
The welcome screen will now be displayed and
your choices have been saved.
6. Select OK to complete the Set-up Wizard.
Vessel hull type selection
The vessel hull type options are designed to provide
optimum steering performance for typical vessels.
It is important to complete the vessel hull type
selection as part of the initial set-up wizard, as it
forms a key part of the autopilot calibration process.
You can also access the options at any time with
the pilot in Standby by selecting MENU > Set-up >
Autopilot Calibration > Vessel Settings > Vessel
Hull Type .
As a general guide, select the option that most
closely matches your vessel type and steering
characteristics. The options are:
•
Race Sail .
• Sail Cruiser .
• Catamaran .
• Workboat .
• RIB .
• Outboard Speedboat
• Inboard Speedboat
• Power Cruiser 1 (<12 kts)
• Power Cruiser 2 (<30 kts)
• Power Cruiser 3 (>30 kts)
• Sport Fishing
• Pro Fishing
It is important to be aware that steering forces (and
therefore rate-of-turn) vary significantly depending
on the combination of vessel type, steering system,
and drive type. Therefore, the available vessel hull
type options are provided for guidance only. You
may wish to experiment with the different vessel hull
type options, as it might be possible to improve the
steering performance of your vessel by selecting a
different vessel type.
When choosing a suitable vessel type, the emphasis
should be on safe and dependable steering
response.
Important: If you change the vessel type after
completing the Dockside calibration process (using
the Dockside wizard), all commissioning settings
will be reset to default settings, and you will need to
complete the Dockside calibration process again.
