An external system selector can be used to change from
automatic to manual steering and vice versa (refer to IMO
resolution MSC.64 sec.4). The selector switch must adequately
indicate which method of steering is in operation at any given
moment. When manual steering is selected, the AP50 will be
disconnected from the vessel’s steering system and show
“Disengaged” on the display (no mode indicators are lit on the
FU50). When automatic steering is selected, the AP50 will go to
AUTO mode (or AUTO-WORK mode). For connection of an
external system selector switch, refer to “System Select”, on
page 87.
