all other functions operate normally. Cancel it by returning to
course or pressing the STANDBY or PILOT key.

HELM ALERT

In PILOT mode, the helm alert operates in three stages. One minute

before the preset time (5, 10 or 15 sec.), the HELM ALERT
message flashes on the display without the beeper sounding. At
the preset time the message is on continuously and the internal
beeper sounds. One minute later, the external alarm sounds. The
alarm is cancelled and reset by the PILOT or STANDBY key.

DRIVE OVERLOAD The current drawn by the steering gear has exceeded the limits and

the drive has been turned off. See Chap. 4 for further information.

DRIVE STALLED

If the steering drive is activated and the helm moves less than 1

degree in 2.5 seconds, the system is switched to STANDBY and
this alarm is set.

Either the rudder has travelled past the limits set during System
Setup or an electrical fault has developed in the Rudder
Transducer. The system switches to STANDBY.

COMPASS FAULT If a fluxgate compass has been selected, the magnetic field being

sensed by the compass is above or below preset limits. Further
information is given in Chap. 4.

NO HEADING DATA If a digital heading input has been selected, a valid heading sentence

is not being received.

OFF CENTRE This alarm is only used during the setup procedure and occurs

if the helm is not correctly centred for the last stage of the

setup.


SYSTEM FAULT

This alarm is generated by the Controller to indicate that no data is

being received from the Junction Box. This can indicate either a
fault in the Controller cable or a failure within the Junction Box.

2.7 RECOMMENDED SETTINGS

As previously stated, in the auto-tune mode, internal settings are preset during the setup
procedure and are then adjusted automatically while under way.

There may be cases where you wish to change these presets via the menu, but generally
