Smartpilot Controller Operating Guide
Note:
Because turning the boat affects the relationship between the true and
apparent wind angles, you should only use this method to make
minor
ad-
justments to the wind angle. For major changes, return to Standby mode,
steer onto the new heading, then reselect Wind Vane mode.
How do I dodge an obstacle in Wind Vane mode?
In Wind Vane mode you still have full control from the keypad. You can
make a dodge maneuver by using the course change keys (
-1
,
+1
,
-10
or
+10
)
to select the desired course change.
After you have avoided the hazard, you can cancel the dodge course change
by making an equal course change in the opposite direction.
What is a Wind Shift warning?
If the autopilot detects a wind shift of more than 15° it will sound the wind
shift warning and display the
WIND SHIFT
message:
•
To cancel the warning, and retain the existing wind angle and new head-
ing, press
standby
and
auto
together.
•
Alternatively, to cancel the warning and return to the previous heading:
•
adjust the locked wind angle using the
-1
,
+1
,
-10
and
+10
keys.
•
press
standby
to return to hand steering, steer onto the required
heading, and press
standby
and
auto
together to return to Wind
Vane mode with the new wind angle
How do I use AutoTack in Wind Vane mode?
Note:
If you use the AutoTack function in Wind Vane mode, make sure the
wind vane has been centered accurately.
The SmartPilot has a built in automatic tack facility (AutoTack) that turns the
boat through 100° in the required direction:
•
to AutoTack to port: press the
-1
and
-10
keys together
•
to AutoTack to starboard: press the
+1
and
+10
keys together
