AP25, you will be able to choose any for navigation. Refer to the
“Source select” item in the User Set-up 2 menu for details on
selecting a different navigator (page 52).
2.19 Wind vane steering
Prior to entering WIND mode the AP25 system should be
operating in AUTO, with valid input from the selected wind
transducer. The WIND mode is only available if the system has
been set up for SAIL-boat in the Installation/Dockside Menu,
and the NAV/WIND source is set to WIND under the USER
SETUP menu. (Refer to page 50).
Enter the WIND mode by pressing the NAV/WIND button.
The set course to steer (CTS) and set wind angle are entered
from the compass heading and the wind transducer when at the
moment the WIND-mode is selected. From that point the
autopilot will change the course to maintain the wind angle as
the wind direction may change.
Note ! If the cumulative shift of the wind direction exceeds a set limit
from the time a new wind angle is set, a WIND SHIFT alarm will
sound.
