PART 2 - OPERATING INFORMATION

2.1 SWITCHING

ON

The h2000 Autopilot has two power supplies (instrument and
heavy duty) connected via circuit breakers and/or fuses. The
Autopilot Computer and Autopilot Displays are powered via the
Fastnet data cable and share the same source of supply as the
Hydra, Hercules or HS2000 Instrument System.

The hydraulic ram, rotary drive or hydraulic pump supplies are
routed via the Autopilot Computer. The heavy-duty supply is
dedicated to the rudder drive unit and is connected via a separate
heavy-duty fuse or circuit breaker.

To switch the Autopilot ON, proceed as follows:

(1) Switch ON the heavy-duty power supply for the
rudder drive unit.

(2) Switch ON the instrument supplies.

The Autopilot will only operate if both the heavy duty and
instrument supplies are switched ON.

Notes
1. If the Autopilot Display indicates Fault 103 when engaged for
the first time, check that the heavy-duty drive supply is switched
ON.

2. If the Autopilot Display indicates the Fault Message above,
switch ON the heavy-duty supply and clear the fault message.

3. If the Autopilot Display shows Fault 104 when engaged, this
indicates that there is no boat speed input from the sensor. For
example, this would occur if the Autopilot were switched on at the
dockside.

4. To clear the Fault Message, press the key next to the FAULT
legend on any Autopilot Display twice. Alternatively, press the
Enter Key on any FFD twice.
