S1 Wheel and Tiller Pilots Operating Guide
How do I select Wind Vane mode?
You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or Auto mode:
1. Steady the boat onto the required wind angle.
2. Press
standby
and
auto
together to select Wind Vane mode and lock the
current wind angle:
• the display shows the locked heading (e.g. 128°) and the wind angle
(e.g.
WIND 145P
indicates an wind angle of 145° to port)
• if the SmartPilot does not enter Wind Vane mode, it is not receiving wind
data check the instrument and connections
3. In Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot will then adjust the boat’s heading to
maintain the locked wind angle.
How do I leave Wind Vane mode?
You can leave Wind Vane mode by:
• pressing
auto
to return to Auto mode.
• pressing
standby
to return to manual control.
How do I adjust the locked wind angle
You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the
1
,
+1
,
10
and
+10
buttons to
change course. For example, to bear away by 10° when the boat is on a starboard
tack:
• press
10
to turn the boat 10° to port – the locked wind angle and locked
heading will both change by 10°.
• the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain the
new wind angle.
Note:
Because turning the boat affects the relationship between the true and apparent
wind angles, you should only use this method to make minor adjustments to the wind an
gle. For major changes, return to Standby mode, steer onto the new heading, then reselect
Wind Vane mode.
