3.1.1 Ship’s Safety
According to the GERMAN LLOYD and to other regulations, the autopilot has been clas-
sified as a
SECONDARY STEERING SYSTEM , i.e. without redundant installation nor
internal redundancy. A MAIN STEERING SYSTEM, however, for example manual con-
trol, must be installed twice and without reactive effects.
In the course of this description, a system component designated as a main and second-
ary operator unit is often referred to in the text.
The significance of these operator units and the autopilot function connected therewith is
always to be considered as a
SECONDARY STEERING SYSTEM within the complete
system!
Our devices are manufactured and tested in accordance with an international quality as-
surance system (ISO 9001). Nevertheless, errors cannot fully be excluded.
Therefore, the national and international regulations include the following requirement:
The autopilot is equipped with an extensive monitoring logic, by means of which errors
or failures within the autopilot system or connected sensors can be recognized. Alarm
signalling is audible or visual via the operator unit.
3.1.2 Checks to be made before any Putting into Operation
In order to ensure correct functioning of the autopilot, faultless operation of the following
systems and devices is required:

Power supply
-- for the equipment concerned
-- 10 ... 36V DC for the autopilot

Steering gear and steering control system

Sensors and appertaining transmission equipment
-- Gyro compass
-- Magnetic compass / fluxgate compass
-- Log
