AUTOPILOT 

English 

 

8-31 

Symptom 

Cause 

Action 

Course  as  set  on 
Autopilot  instrument  is 
different  from  ship’s 
steering compass. 

If  constant  error,  Autopilot 
compass is not aligned with for-
aft line of boat.  

Use Compass setting [C6] [ADJ] to adjust 
alignment of compass. 

 

Variable  error  in  heading 
caused 

by 

magnetic 

interference. 

Verify  that  the  steering  compass  is 
accurately  corrected  and  then  correct  the 
Autopilot  compass  as  per  installation 
instructions. 

 

Large  errors  not  corrected  by 
above  remedies  or  lack  of 
change in course set point with 
different  headings  indicate  a 
defective compass. 

1.  

Run Auto-Deviation-Clear [C5] [CLR]. 

2.  

Run Auto-Deviation [C3] [DEV] 

3.  

Recheck compass again. 

 

Ships compass is not correct. 

Compensate ships compass. 

 

Compass:  no reading or wrong 
heading. 

Check  that  the  local  magnetic  variation 
[C2] [VAR] is set properly. 

 

Irregular values. 

Check the Sea Damping [P2] [SEA]. 

NMEA 

does 

not 

engage,  NAV  arrow 
does not come on. 

NMEA  receiver  not  installed 
correctly. 

Check receiver settings for proper output.  

 

No NMEA 0183 data received. 

Check  Nav  cable  for  connection.  to  the 
correct port. 

 

Unreliable NMEA data detected 
upon engagement.  

Check 

connections 

and 

setup 

in 

transmitting instrument 

 

No active waypoint. 

Activate a waypoint. 

After some use, NAV  
arrow  does  not  come 
on. 

Poor NMEA data detected. Last 
"good"  NMEA  heading  is  used 
until good data restored. 

Check  for  poor  navigator  installation 
causing  bad  signal  to  noise  ration.  Check 
for  erroneous  data  as  detected  by 
navigator. Revert to magnetic course only, 
if situation cannot be corrected. 

Course  under  NAV 
steering is erratic. 

May  appear  when  close  to 
waypoint  due  to  GPS-S/A. 
error. 

Accept  situation  or  revert  to  compass 
course steering only. 

 

Compass  heading  information 
is not consistent with navigator. 

Set  heading  in  pilot  i.e.  true  to  true  or 
magnetic  to  magnetic  so  course  is 
consistent with navigator. 
Check NMEA wiring termination.
