The AP50 will continue on the set course until you press either
the PORT or STBD button to select the direction in which to
make the C-turn. If you do not press PORT or STBD within 1
minute, the AP50 will return to AUTO mode and stay on course.
The turn rate can be adjusted either before the turn is initiated or
during the turn. Increasing the turn rate yields a smaller circle
and vice versa.
To exit C-turn mode, press any of the mode buttons. When
pressing the AUTO button, the new set course is shown in the
upper portion of the display.

Inactive control
unit
In the normal operation of multiple control units, control is
accessible from every control unit and steering handle connected
to the AP50 system. However, only one control unit is "active"
at a time providing the user with access to all functions and
enabling the user to change modes and to set the course for
automatic course keeping. All remaining control units are
"inactive" and have no effect on course selection. A single push
on either the STBY, AUTO, or NAV buttons on an "inactive"
control unit will allow the transfer of command to make it
"active". To remain in the mode, press the current mode button.
Note ! On an inactive control unit, backlight and contrast can be
directly adjusted through the course knob.
In Master Operation (Wheelmark) of multiple control units, one
control unit must be set up for master operation. “Power on”
capability is possible from any unit, but “power off” capability
is only possible from the master unit (the unit on which Master
Operation is set to “yes” in the Installation Dockside menu, see
page 121). In Master Operation, the remote control units and
handles are locked.
2.12 Lock Function
Standard Operation
The "LOCK" function is a safety feature included in the AP50
system to lock-out all control units except for a single, user-
selected “active” control unit.
