Edition: 003

4.2 General notes and recommendations

- Before using the Autopilot, the NautoPilot® Operator Unit and the Autopilot

Interface (if installed) must be configured.
Adjustment, configuration and operation are strongly influenced by the

steering system and its application/performance.

Therefore, it is absolutely obligatory that configuration, adjustments and

operation must be performed by well- trained, experienced personnel only.

- Use of the magnetic compass as a heading source for Course Control mode and

Track Control mode is not permitted

- Activated control functions (such as Heading Control, Course Control or Track

Control) should be monitored after their activation.
All control functions/modes should be monitored from time to time during a sea
trail.

- To prevent dangerous situations, check the traffic at sea and the sea area before

activating any control function with the Autopilot.

- The Course Control or Track Control modes can be only activated (switched on)

from Heading Control mode.
It is possible to switch from Heading Control mode to Course Control mode

or Track Control mode.

- If an automatic steering control mode is possible, it is indicated with Standby at the

Autopilot.

- Upon reception of a valid ZDA-telegram the received time is used to synchronize

the internal clock automatically to the received time information. Without a ZDA
telegram a received position information is not used.

Standalone application

An activation of an automatic steering control mode is possible if Standby is

indicated and leads to a Heading Control mode at the Autopilot by switching

the Main Steering Switch into the respective position.

AS application

The Autopilot must be in Manual mode (indicated by Manual at the display), then

the NautoSteer System can be activated, for example with the Main Steering

Switch in the respective switch position.

The activation of the NautoSteer System is indicated by Standby at the display.
