Work profiles
A work profile is a set of steering parameters. You can change the active work profile to adapt
the autopilot steering characteristics to different operational conditions.
The AP70 MK2 has a set of predefined work profiles, depending on selected boat type. There
can be up to 6 work profiles defined in the system.
During commissioning and seatrial the parameters for active profile will be tuned for
optimized steering performance.
Predefined profiles
Normal profile
This is the default profile and automatically assigned when you set your vessel type to
Displacement
.
It is recommended to use the Normal profile as a general profile for your vessel. This should
be active during the commissioning of your vessel, and all parameter settings will then be
saved to this profile.
High and Low profiles
High and Low profiles are automatically assigned when you set your vessel to
Planing
.
The system switches automatically between High and Low profiles based on the vessel's
speed and the Transition speed setting. Refer to the separate Installation manual.
Creating a new work profile
New profiles can be defined for operational modes where the vessel’s steering parameters
deviate from the default profiles.
You can also define a profile for easy access to preferred parameters for various crew
members.
