2.2.9 The Operating Mode MANUAL CONTROL (DODGE Function)

On actuating this double--function key for the first time, the autopilot system
changes over to manual control as a matter of principle.
The operating modes of HEADING CONTROL or TRACK CONTROL are no
longer active now.
During MANUAL CONTROL, the rudder limitation is cancelled.
The rudder value starts with a rudder position of 0

.
The SET HEADING is now caused to follow up the HEADING .

The LED panel Man lights up (GREEN).

A new rudder value
The manual rudder presetting can now be adjusted via the PORT/STBD keys
(resolution 1

) or via the rotary knob.
The current rudder angle is numerically indicated via the text line with the message
of e.g. MAN RUDDER 10.
The sign describes the rudder position; ”--” stands for PORT and ”no sign” means
STBD. The rudder order (rudder presetting) acts directly upon the steering gear.

Automatic midship position of the rudder
If both the keys are actuated simultaneously, the rudder is automatically brought
to midship position which corresponds to a rudder angle indication of MAN RUD-
DER 0.

The display indication is as follows
