Optimum Wind Angle Mode
When a Performance Processor is connected to the
h2000 instrument system, the autopilot has the facility
to steer to Optimum Wind Angle taken from the
Performance Processor’s polar table. With OPT WA
Mode selected, engage the autopilot by pressing the
ON key once.
Pressing either of the Dodge keys in Optimum Wind
Angle Mode will automatically switch the autopilot into
Compass Mode and allow you to safely steer around
the obstacle.
Waypoint Mode
In Waypoint Mode, the autopilot can be used to steer
to a waypoint received from an external source via
NMEA.
With Waypoint Mode selected and the Autopilot
switched off, steer the boat onto the Bearing To
Waypoint (BTW), ensure that the cross track error is
less than 0.1Nm, and allow the boat to settle. Engage
the autopilot in Waypoint Mode by pressing the On
key once.
Automatic Waypoint Advance
Most position fixers and chartplotters will automatically
switch to the next waypoint in a route. For reasons of
safety however, the autopilot does not automatically
steer to the next waypoint. RemoteVision prompts the
user with Next Waypoint on the screen. When it is
safe to do so, press the NavStick Enter action to
instruct the autopilot to alter course towards the next
waypoint in the route.
Pressing either of the Dodge keys in Waypoint Mode
will automatically switch the autopilot into Compass
Mode and allow you to safely steer around the
obstacle.
