4.2 Description of Installation Settings
Note ! The installation settings must be performed as part of the
installation of the autopilot system. Failure to do so correctly
may prohibit the autopilot from functioning properly!
The Installation menu can only be accessed in STBY mode.
The Installation Settings are grouped into the following
functional categories:
• Language:
Selection of language used for display
information
• Dockside: Items to be set prior to seatrials
• Interface: Setting the format of the clock/data output for
radars connected to the Autopilot Computer.
• Display units: Setting the units to be displayed for wind
speed, water temperature and depth.
• Seatrial: Presents settings and automatic calibrations to
be performed during sea trial.
• Parameters: Permits viewing and changing of basic
steering parameters (See also response control
page 45).
• Service: System data, NMEA data, NMEA test,
SimNet setup, Master reset of memories.
Each group is designed to focus on specific functions and enable
quick access when changes need to be made.
Some important points regarding the installation settings:
• When the autopilot is delivered new from the factory AND
ANY TIME AFTER A MASTER RESET OF MEMORIES
HAS BEEN PERFORMED, the installation settings are all
reset to factory preset (default) values. The automatic
interface prompt will appear (see page 83) and a complete
setup has to be made.
• The values that are selected from within the Installation
Settings Menu, are stored in the memory of the autopilot
system. No specific action is required to "SAVE" the selected
values. Once the value is changed, it is stored until the next
time the menu item is selected and changed.
