Edition: September 2014
NautoSteer AS consists of 2 independent steering control
systems that are technically separated from each other.
These steering control systems can be selected by use of the
steering mode selector switch.
In “NFU direct” mode the valves / steering gear are operated di-
rectly without use of electronics.
In “Main” mode a closed loop control system is used.
Recommendation:
In case of any failure in either one of the 2 independent steering
control system please switch to the other mode by use of the
steering mode selector switch to retrieve the steering capabilities
of the control system (see also section 1.3.11).
Please note that, depending on the system design, the steering
control system may not contain a steering mode selector switch.
In this case it is strongly recommended to be familiar with the
steering control system in order to select the right steering control
in emergency situations.
There are two versions of NautoPilot Operator Unit available.
They differ in the housing dimensions.
