Standby mode
Standby (STBD) mode is used when you steer the boat at the helm.
• Switch the autopilot to STBY mode from any operation by a short press on the
STBY/AUTO
key.
Non-Follow Up (NFU, Power steering)
In NFU mode you use the port and starboard arrow buttons in the autopilot pop-up to
control the rudder. The rudder will move as long as the button is pressed.
• Select NFU mode by tapping the port or starboard arrow button in the pop-up when the
autopilot is in STBY or FU mode.
You return to STBY mode by a short press on the
STBY/AUTO
key.
Follow-up steering (FU)
In FU mode you use the rotary knob to set the rudder angle. The rudder will move to the
commanded angle and then stop.
• You select FU mode from the autopilot menu
Warning:
While in Follow-up mode you cannot take manual control of
the wheel. You return to STBY mode by a short press on the
STBY/AUTO
key.
AUTO mode (auto compass)
In AUTO mode the autopilot issues rudder commands required to steer the vessel
automatically on a set heading.
• You select AUTO mode from the autopilot menu. When the mode is activated, the autopilot
selects the current boat heading as the set heading.
Changing set heading in AUTO mode
You adjust the set heading by using the rotary knob or the Port/Starboard arrow buttons in
the autopilot pop-up.
An immediate heading change will take place. The new heading will be maintained until a
new heading is set.
Heading capture
When the vessel is turning in AUTO mode, an instant reset of the mode activates the heading
capture function. This will automatically cancel the turn, and the vessel will continue on the
heading read from the compass the very moment you re-activated the mode.
Tacking in AUTO mode
Enter a short description of your concept here (optional).
Ú
Note:
The tack function is only available when the system is set up for SAIL boat type.
Tacking should only be performed into the wind and must be tried out in calm sea
conditions with light wind to find out how it works on your boat. Due to a wide range of
boat characteristics (from cruising to racing boats) the performance of the tack function may
vary from boat to boat.
Tacking in
AUTO
mode is different from tacking in
WIND
mode. In AUTO mode the tack
angle is fixed and as defined by the user. For more details, see
"Tacking - WIND mode"
on page
43.
You initiate the tack function from
AUTO
mode.
When tacking direction is selected the autopilot changes the current set course according to
the set fixed tacking angle.
