Off course warning angle

This screen determines the angle used by the OFF COURSE warning
(see page 10). The OFF COURSE warning operates if the pilot strays off
course by more than the specified angle for more than 20 seconds.

AutoTrim

The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the autopilot
applies ‘standing helm’ to correct for trim changes caused by varying
wind loads on the sails or superstructure.You should set the default
AutoTrim after commissioning the autopilot (see page 73).

Power steer

If you have a joystick connected to your Type 100/300 autopilot
system, use power steer to select the required joystick mode of
operation (see table).

PWR STEER OFF

Power steer off

PWR STEER 1

1 = Proportional power steer
Proportional power steer applies rudder in proportion to
joystick movement – the further the joystick is held over,
the greater the applied rudder.

PWR STEER 2

2 = Bang-bang power steer
Bang-bang power steer applies continuous rudder in the
direction of the lever movement – to improve control, the
speed of rudder movement changes with the angle of the
lever. For maximum speed, push the lever hardover. If you
return the lever to the center position, the rudder will
remain in its current position.
