Select STANDBY mode and enter the Installation Menu as
previously described. Select Dockside by pressing STBD button
and confirm by rotating the course knob clockwise.
Boat type
Actual boat type is selected by
turning the rotary course knob.
The options are: Planing,
Displacement and Sail.
Type of boat selected will affect the steering parameters, and the
functions available in the autopilot system. Select appropriate
Boat type and press STBD button.
Drive unit voltage
Set the drive unit voltage to correct level. The selections are
12V, 24V, or 32V and should be set to the voltage specified for
your drive unit.
Refer to the drive unit table on page 58 for information.
The drive engage/bypass clutch output follows the same voltage
as set for the drive unit. It is not possible to select a higher
voltage than the input voltage.
Note ! Selection of improper voltage level for your drive unit may
damage both the drive unit and the autopilot computer even if
the protection circuits in the autopilot computer are activated.
During the Rudder Test, the autopilot system will automatically
detect whether the drive unit is a reversible motor or a solenoid
is operated.
To change the voltage
selection, rotate the course
knob.
Note ! The drive unit voltage setting does not apply when operating
solenoids on a continuous running pump/steering gear. Hence,
the output voltage to the solenoids will be the same as the input
voltage.
Proceed to next menu item by pressing STBD button.
