2 OPERATION
2.1 General
The keypad of the Tillerpilot has been designed to be as simple
and intuitive to operate as possible. Using only five keys
(see
Fig 2.1),
it is possible to perform precise course adjustments
and navigational functions.
The unit powers up in Standby mode indicated by a flashing
LED next to the
STBY/AUTO
key (Fig 2.1). The two direction
LEDs above the
Port ( )
and
Starboard ( )
keys are always
dimly lit, which provides night illumination for the keypad. All
functions are confirmed audibly by a “beep” and visually by
the LEDs, so the status of the unit can always be confirmed at a
glance.
Note
The
NAV
key on the TP22 and TP32 is labeled
CAL
on the
TP10. Both keys are referenced where applicable.
2.2 Autopilot mode
While in Standby mode, the pushrod can be manually driven in
and out by pressing the arrowed
Port ( )
and
Starboard ( )
keys, which allows “power steering” of the vessel.
To engage Autopilot mode, press the
STBY/AUTO
key and the
Tillerpilot will lock onto the current course. The LED next to
this key will stop flashing and remain permanently lit as long
as the pilot is in Autopilot mode (Fig 2.2).
To lock the pilot onto the desired course, either steer the correct
course and then engage the autopilot, or engage the autopilot
and then adjust the heading until the correct course is being
sailed
(see section 2.3 below)
.
If the
STBY/AUTO
key is pressed and held, the pilot will beep
a second time and lock onto the previously used heading (this
feature will not be available if the unit has just been switched
on).
