Autopilot setup

If an H5000 autopilot computer is connected to the network as per the instructions in the
H5000 installation manual then the installation process can be performed via the H5000 Pilot
Controller.

Source selection

A data source can be a sensor or a device connected to the network, providing information
and commands to other networked devices. The data sources are normally confi gured at fi rst
time turn on. It should only be necessary to update this data if a new source is added, source
is missing (sensor failure), source has been enabled/disabled, sensor replaced or a network
reset.

¼ Note:

Source selection can also be performed by a Graphic Display, Webserver or one of the

Zeus family of MFDs.

Auto selection

The Auto select option will look for all sources connected to the network If more than one
source is available for each item, the display will automatically select from the internal device
priority list.

Manual source selection

If more than one source is available for an item, the preferred source may be selected
manually. As an example, the following illustrations show how the compass source is
changed.

Select the preferred data source. The selected source will be highlighted.

Rudder drive

Ensure that the rudder information is set correctly before you continue with the Dockside
