REQUIRES A B&G NETWORK AUTOPILOT IN SYSTEM. If a B&G Network
autopilot is present in the system, and the unit is set up within a system that
includes a Network ACP1 or ACP2 then there are two options for the Network
configuration.
•
The COMPASS unit can display rudder and compass information
generated by the PILOT.
•
The fluxgate sensor can be connected to the COMPASS unit giving an
alternate remote fluxgate option.
The Network is more efficient if the fluxgate is connected to the Network ACP
Pilot and the COMPASS is used as a repeater for the data but the system will
operate normally with the pilot accepting data from the COMPASS unit.
Only one fluxgate is necessary for the Network but if a backup fluxgate is added
and fitted into the COMPASS unit then it will override the PILOT's internal
compass. The PILOT will then act as a repeater for the COMPASS data. It is
important that the COMPASS is specifically set up in repeater mode. The
fluxgate on the Network COMPASS may be enabled by changing modes in the
event of a PILOT/FLUXGATE failure.
PILOT Off Course data is not fed into the COMPASS unit through the Network.
If this information is required the PILOT heading can be manually entered into
one of the COMPASS course memories.
