If a stepper or synchro gyro is connected to the autopilot system
via the GI50 Gyro Interface, a display for the heading
adjustment is presented at Power On or at change of compass in
the User Set-up menu. Use the course knob to align the autopilot
read-out to correspond with the gyro heading. Check the
alignment every time the autopilot/gyro is switched on. If two
stepper gyros are connected, both will simultaneously be
aligned. A stepper gyro used as monitor compass will
automatically be aligned to the steering compass.
Press the (PORT) or (STBD) button to proceed to
Standby mode.
If the inactive symbol
is shown (when powered up from
FU50 or while Disengaged) the Control unit must be activated
before alignment by pressing the STBY button.
