6 Commissioning the Autopilot
1. Access the AUTOLEARN screen in Seatrial Calibration:
• from Standby mode, press
standby for 2 seconds, then disp
twice to see the
SEATRIAL CAL screen
• then press
auto to enter Seatrial Calibration, and disp 4 times
until you see the
AUTOLEARN screen
2. Prepare to start the AutoLearn:
• power boats: steer straight ahead (with the rudder centered),
and set the boat’s speed at 8 to 15 knots – planing boats should
be off the plane
• sail boats: with the sails down, steer straight ahead (with the
rudder centered) and motor the boat at typical cruising speed
• if conditions are not calm, head into the wind and waves
3. When you are ready to start the AutoLearn, press the
+1 key to
select
AUTOLEARN On.
4. The screen will then show the
CLEAR TO MANEUVER message.
Press the
auto key to start the AutoLearn process:
• the boat will start its AutoLearn maneuvers and the display
will show a
LEARNING message, with a number that increases
to show that the AutoLearn is in progress
• the number will increase as the autopilot steps through the
various maneuvers
• typically, the AutoLearn will be complete within 7 to 27 steps
(depending on boat characteristics and sea conditions)
Note: If you need to cancel the AutoLearn for any reason, press the
standby or disp key.
5. When the autopilot has finished learning, the control unit will
beep and the display will change to
LRN PASS or LRN FAIL:
•
LRN PASS = AutoLearn completed successfully
•
LRN FAIL = AutoLearn was not successful and should be
repeated again. Failure codes:
•
LRN FAIL 1 = AutoLearn has not been carried out
•
LRN FAIL 2 = AutoLearn failed, due to manual interruption
•
LRN FAIL 4 = AutoLearn failed, probably due to drive or
compass failure
6. Press and hold the
standby key for two seconds to store the new
calibration settings.
The pilot is now fully calibrated and ready for use. The only
setting you should now need to adjust is the response level
(see page 7).
