Seiwa SW AP03 User Manual
Page 11
Autopilots intended for yacht use have an automatic tacking feature which is useful for
single-handed sailing.
A second control head may be fitted to the autopilot to provide parallel operation from two
stations.
1.1.5 WORKING WITH OTHER EQUIPMENT
The physical and electrical environment in a boat can be harsh. This autopilot has been
engineered with this in mind and tolerates poorly regulated power supplies, overloaded
steering, radio transmitters, radars and the like. Conversely, it has also been engineered to
operate without causing interference to radio receivers and other communications
equipment. Seiwa autopilots carry a CE mark to indicate compliance with the relevant EMC
standards. The installation sections of this manual have been carefully developed to
minimise problems when the autopilot is in this environment. Please study and follow them!
1.2 THE SW AP03 SYSTEM
