Port option
(depth decreases to port)
Starboard option
(depth decreases to starboard)
The following parameters are available for depth contour tracking:
Depth gain
This parameter determines the ratio between commanded rudder and the deviation from
the selected depth contour. The higher depth gain value the more rudder is applied.
If the value is too small, it takes a long time to compensate for drifting off the set depth
contour, and the autopilot fails to keep the boat on the selected depth.
If the value is set too high, the overshoot increases and the steering is unstable.
Contour Cross Angle (CCA)
The CCA is an angle that is added to or subtracted from the set course.
With this parameter you can make the boat yaw around the reference depth with lazy-s
movements.
The larger the CCA, the bigger yawing is allowed. If you the CCA set to zero there are no lazy-
s movements.
Using the Zeus³ in an AP24/AP28 system
Command transfer
If your Zeus³ is connected to an autopilot system including an AP24 or AP28 control unit,
only one control unit can be active at the same time. An inactive control unit is indicated
with a square with a cross symbol in autopilot controller pop-up.
Locking remote stations
The AP24/AP28 includes a Remote Lock function that disables autopilot control from other
units. A locked control unit is indicated with a key symbol in autopilot controller pop-up.
When the remote lock function is enabled on an AP24/AP28 control unit, only the active
control unit stays in command. No transfer of command to Zeus³ or other autopilot control
units on the system can take place.
You can only unlock the remote stations from the AP24/AP28 unit in command.
Autopilot settings
The autopilot settings can be split between settings done by the user, and settings done
during installation and commissioning of the autopilot system.
•
User settings can be changed for various operational conditions or user preferences
•
Installation settings are defined during commissioning of the autopilot system. No
changes should later be done to these settings
Both user settings and installation settings depends on which autopilot computer that is
connected to the system.
