Automatic Rudder Test
Note !
Move the rudder manually to midship position before starting the test. It is
important also that if the boat uses power assist steering, that the engine or
electric motor used to enable the power assist steering be turned on prior to
this test.
Stand CLEAR of the wheel and do not attempt to take manual
control of the wheel during this test!
Activate the automatic rudder test by turning the course selector clockwise.
The AP35 will issue a series of PORT and STBD rudder commands and
automatically verify correct motor direction, and reduce the rudder speed if
it exceeds the maximum acceptable speed for autopilot operation.
When test is finished the display will read:
INSTALLATION
Rudder test
Motor OK
or

Proceed to next menu item by pressing STBD [>] button.
Transition Speed
INSTALLATION
Transition
speed: 00 kn
The transition speed is the speed where the AP35 will automatically change
the steering parameter set from the HI speed to LO speed parameters, or vice
versa.
The default setting of transition speed is zero, which requires that steering
parameter selection be done manually. If a GPS, Loran, or external speed log
input (from IS15 or other instrument systems) is connected, it is
recommended to set the transition speed to a value greater than 0, to enable
the automatic speed selection feature in the AP35.
It is recommended that you set the transition speed to a speed that represents
the speed where the hull begins to plane, or where you would manually
change the parameters from HI to LO.
The speed used for the automatic transition is obtained as follows:
1.
Data from the source set in the interface setup for the INSTR channel. If
this is a valid source of VHW (speed through the water) data, then this
data is used for determination of when to change parameter sets.
2.
If VHW data is not available from the INSTR channel or if the INSTR
channel is not cond, the AP35 system will use the speed data obtained
from the VTG (speed over ground) sentence received from the currently
selected POS source.
