description
The h1000 pilot display is designed to be mounted above or below decks. The display head allows
control of the pilot and by installing multiple display heads, gives control at any station. It can be
connected to all other h1000 Instruments via the Fastnet
2 connectors to provide an integrated autopilot
and navigational system.
Caution: it is essential that the pilot is calibrated before operation. Details are given in the calibration
section of this manual.
In an integrated system, boat speed is supplied from the h1000 Speed/Depth Interface and wind speed
and wind angle from the h1000 Wind Interface via Fastnet
2 . These allow the pilot to operate in the
Compass and Wind modes. When a CND or NMEA position fixer is connected to the system, Navigate
mode becomes available. NMEA data is connected to the Universal Interface and then broadcast
across Fastnet
2 and used by the pilot.
The display heads are supplied with a clip-in mounting bracket, which allows for easy installation.
Access from behind is not necessary to secure the unit in place. However to prevent theft or if removal
of the unit is not required, then locking studs and thumbnuts are supplied to allow for permanent
fixing.
