Introduction

The KAP-833 autopilot is a hybrid of digital and analogue technology to give
the best of both worlds - excellent steering characteristics with digital compass
display, keypad course input, GPS and gyro interfaces, and much more, in solid
metal case.

The KAP-833 Autopilot controls the vessel steering through mechanical drive,
reversing pump set ,solenoid valves or relays.

The compass must be installed in a place free of magnetic interference, and
connected to the autopilot via the cable supplied.

The rudder feedback must be attached to the rudder in such a way that it can
accurately measure the position of the ships rudder. This must also be
connected to the autopilot via the cable supplied.

Provision has been made for two hand remote, panel remote, steering lever
or steering wheel stations. These are very robust units, which will not be
adversely affected by water. The abilities they provide are somewhat different

from the main control panel. See the Operation section of this manual for details.
