S1 Wheel and Tiller Pilots Operating Guide
Note:
You will lose these temporary changes to response level whenever the system is
powered off. You can make permanent adjustments in User Calibration (See page 31). This
determines the default powerup response level.
Adjusting performance
TillerPilot (and gyro upgraded WheelPilot)
S1 TillerPilot (and gyro upgraded WheelPilot) systems have 9 levels of response:
•
level 9 to 7
give the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity
(and power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open waters as
the SmartPilot may ‘fight’ the sea.
•
levels 6 to 4
should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled
turns under normal operating conditions.
•
level 3 to 1
minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This conserves power, but
may compromise shortterm coursekeeping accuracy.
With these points in mind, you should use the following procedure to make
temporary adjustments to the response level when required:
1. Display the
RESPONSE
screen by pressing the
1
and
+1
buttons together
momentarily.
Note:
The
RESPONSE
screen is set as a default data page (see SmartPilot Commis
sioning Guide) so you can also access it by pressing
disp
and then scrolling through the
data pages.
2. Press
1
or
+1
buttons
to change the response level.
3. Press
disp
or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display.
