After finishing the installation and interconnection of all units, check
that correct power and polarity is supplied to the distribution unit. A
green light emitting diode on the Power Supply Board indicates that
power is supplied to the control unit.
Alignments, selection of course sensor and adaption of the autopilot
parameters to the vessel's characteristics must be carried out
according to the following procedure.
Power ON
Turn on the control unit by pressing the HELMSMAN button. The
Information Display shows INITIATION together with the software
version for two-three seconds after switch on.
INITIATIONPROGRAM V1R4
If synchro-/stepper gyro already has been selected as steering
compass by using the COMPASS SELECT button, GYROADJUST
will appear in the information display and the heading readout in the
course display has to be matched to the gyro heading by means of the
INCREASE/DECREASE button before the autopilot can be brought
into service.
For alarm messages, see Fault warnings; page 6-1.
Rudder Feedback Unit Adjustments
The Rudder Feedback Unit must be adjusted to centre position when
the rudder is at mid-position. This is done by using the DEBUG
mode, which enables the rudder angle to be shown digitally on the
Information Display. Use the following procedure:
a.
Move the rudder to mid position.
b. Select HELMSMAN mode on the control unit.
c. Select DEBUG-mode by pressing the hidden DEBUG button (just
to the right of the NAV. SYSTEM button) and then the INFO
button.
The Information Display now shows:
DEBUG MODE
RUDDER S0.0
S = starboard, P = port
If DEBUG AD is shown on the information display press the
hidden DEBUG-button one more time.
