AutoTrim
(tr LEv)
The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the autopilot
applies ‘standing helm’ to correct for trim changes caused by varying
wind loads on the sails or superstructure.
The default AutoTrim is set when commissioning the autopilot.
If you need to change the setting, increase the AutoTrim one level at a
time and use the lowest acceptable value:
•
decrease the AutoTrim level if the autopilot gives unstable course
keeping or excessive drive activity with a change in the heel angle
•
increase the AutoTrim level if the autopilot reacts slowly to a
heading change due to a change in the heel angle
•
if the AutoTrim level is too high, the boat will be less stable and
snake around the desired course
Note: Type 150G/400G autopilots have a ‘FastTrim’ feature within
AutoTrim. Select
OFF
to turn off FastTrim as well as AutoTrim.
Response level
(rES)
This is the default autopilot response level. The response level
controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the
amount of helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes to
response during normal operation.
