1. PRINCIPLE OF THE AUTOPILOT Principle of Autopilot An autopilot is an automatic device for steering a vessel and maintaining its heading in an intended direction. Boat and ship operators can really appreciate the advantages of the autopilot – It steers the boat for you so that you are free to carry out navigational checks, trim adjustments, etc. or to simply relax and enjoy the ride. The NAVpilot-511/520/611 autopilot utilizes a proportional rate system to steer the boat.
1. PRINCIPLE OF THE AUTOPILOT Principle of Operation In the AUTO modes, the heading information from a heading sensor is continuously compared with the course that is set on the autopilot’s controller. (In the NAV mode, the course to the waypoint is received from a plotter connected to the NAVpilot-511/520/611). With the boat on course, these two signals are equal.
2. BASIC OPERATION 2.1 Operating Controls NAVpilot-511/611 TURN/MENU key Press once: Opens the TURN menu. Press twice: Opens the mode menus. STARBOARD (STBD) key* Steers the boat to starboard. PORT key* Steers the boat to port. STBY/POWER key Long press: Turns power off. Momentary press: Turns power on; Selects the STBY (manual) mode.

3. STEERING MODES The NAVpilot-511/520/611 system is capable of six primary steering modes: STBY (manual), AUTO, NAV, TURN, REMOTE (FU and NFU) and DODGE. 3.1 STBY Mode After turning on the power, the equipment goes to the STBY mode. This is a manual steering mode. When sailing into or out of a harbor, steer the vessel in the STBY mode by using the ship’s steering wheel (helm). Press the [STBY] key.
3. STEERING MODES 3.2 AUTO Mode 3.2.1 Using the AUTO mode The NAVpilot-511/520/611’s AUTO mode steers the boat automatically on a course set by the operator. Note: The AUTO mode will not compensate for the effects of wind or tide, which can push you off course in the athwart ship direction. Use the AUTO mode for short, straight voyages. Otherwise switch to the NAV mode which is described on page 3-4. 1. Direct the boat to the intended course desired. 2. Press the [AUTO] key to activate the Auto mode.
3. STEERING MODE 3.2.2 ADVANCED AUTO mode AUTO mode will maintain a set course, but your vessel’s course may be shifted by the effects of current or wind. ADVANCED AUTO mode maintains a set course while compensating for the effects of wind and tide. Note that your NAVpilot-511/520/611 must be connected to a (GPS) which outputs own ship’s position data (L/L) in NMEA0183 format to the NAVpilot-511/520/611.
3. STEERING MODES 3.3 NAV Mode 3.3.1 Starting the NAV mode If a destination waypoint is set on a GPS / Plotter, the NAVpilot-511/520/611 can receive this information and guide the boat to the destination waypoint as determined by the plotter. To use the NAV mode, complete the following steps. Note: It takes 15 seconds to activate the NAV mode after the NAVpilot-511/520/611 receives the above information. 1. Set the destination waypoint (or route) on the plotter. 2.
3. STEERING MODE 3.3.2 Selecting sailing method of NAV mode Your vessel may go off course when navigating between waypoints in the Nav mode. This can happen when, for example, a command is received from a remote controller. To get you back on course, two methods are available, COURSE and XTE. (See figure in below.) If COURSE is selected, the NAVpilot-511/520/611 will calculate a new course based on your new position after dodging, etc. that will take you directly to your destination waypoint.
3. STEERING MODES 3.3.3 Switching waypoint When you arrive at a waypoint on a route while in the NAV mode, you can switch to the next waypoint automatically or manually. The AUTO setting will automatically switch to the next destination waypoint when your boat is within the arrival alarm area (set on the plotter). The MANUAL setting requires operator confirmation (pressing the course control knob) before switching to the next waypoint.
3. STEERING MODE 3.3.4 Selecting the boat’s steering behavior after arriving at your destination waypoint The “Fishing mode” can be enabled and set up control your boat’s steering behavior after it reaches the last waypoint in a route. For example, the ORBIT setting will steer the vessel in a circular pattern around the final waypoint (fishing spot). The FIGURE EIGHT setting will continually return to the final waypoint in a clover leaf pattern. For details of each movement, see the next section “3.
3. STEERING MODES 3.4 TURN Mode The [TURN/MENU] key provides the various turning motions depending on the mode in use. There are five different turn type; 180º or 360º turns (for AUTO mode only), ORBIT, SPIRAL and FIGURE EIGHT. All turn type are available in clockwise and counterclockwise direction. To activate the TURN mode: 1. Press the [TURN/MENU] key once to show the TURN menu. This menu will change based on the mode currently in use.
3. STEERING MODE 180º TURN (for AUTO mode only) This function changes the current set course by 180º in the opposite direction. After the 180º turn completely, the message “TURN COMPLETED” appears. Return to the AUTO mode by pressing the course control knob. Example of 180º maneuver in turn mode 360º TURN (for AUTO mode only) This function also provides a continuous turn feature with a constant rate of turn in a circle. This may be used for circling fish, purse seining, etc.
3. STEERING MODES ORBIT When ORBIT is enabled, your boat will orbit around the boat’s current position. If ORBIT is enabled while in the NAV mode, the boat orbits around the (last) waypoint. This function requires a plotter or GPS be connected. Radius of orbit (set on menu) The boat’s position at the ORBIT is selected. Example of orbit maneuver (ex. clockwise) To set parameters for ORBIT, operate the autopilot as shown below. WARNING Do not use the ORBIT mode in rough sea.
3. STEERING MODE 5. Rotate the course control knob to select "◄ORBIT" or "ORBIT►", and then press it. The message “START TO TURN BY FISHING MODE” appears, and the boat runs for the distance set at step 3, and then starts making an orbit similar to the figure on the previous page. If the boat's speed becomes more than 10 kt while orbiting, the message "TOO FAST TO FISHING MODE. PLEASE SLOW DOWN LESS THAN 10 kt. PUSH MENU KEY TO CANCEL AND GO TO AUTO MODE." appears. Reduce boat’s speed less than 10 kt.
3. STEERING MODES SPIRAL The boat will spiral in the direction of current heading (STBY), set course (AUTO) or the course to the next waypoint (NAV) that was active at the moment that the SPIRAL mode is selected. The spiral speed can be set in the menu. In the NAV mode, the boat steers toward the waypoint (s) spirally. Note that the NMEA0183 sentence AAM is required from the plotter, and the arrival alarm range must also be set on the plotter.
3. STEERING MODE 4. Press the course control knob, and then press [TURN/MENU] key once (twice for STBY mode) to close the menu. 5. Press the [TURN/MENU] key once to show the TURN menu. 6. Rotate the course control knob to select “RADIUS OF ORBIT”, and then press it to circumscribe the value with a double rectangle. 7. Rotate the course control knob to set the radius of orbit. (Setting range: 0.05 to 9.99 nm) 8. Press the course control knob. 9. Reduce boat’s speed less than 10 kt. 10.
3. STEERING MODES FIGURE EIGHT After the boat has traveled the distance "d" set on the TURN menu (or main menu), it starts turning in a figure eight pattern, automatically returning to the position where the figure eight mode was initiated. The “d” is set on menu as RADIUS OF ORBIT. Boat's position FIGURE EIGHT is selected. d Example of FIGURE EIGHT (in NAV mode) Note: Reduce boat’s speed so that the boat can turn smoothly. WARNING Confirm that no objection is in the general vicinity of the waypoint.
3. STEERING MODE Navigating to TLL point When TLL (Target Latitude and Longitude) data is input from a radar or echo sounder connected in the STBY, AUTO or NAV mode, the TURN menu appears. Then, you may choose how to progress towards that position, from ORBIT (port direction, starboard direction) or FIGURE EIGHT. (You may also continue current steering mode, by choosing OFF.) Also, you can set the radius of orbit on this menu. For this mode, own ship’s position L/L data and waypoint L/L data are required.
3. STEERING MODES 3.5 REMOTE Mode Four types of optional remote controllers may be connected to the NAVpilot-511/520/611. These are used to operate the Navpilot-511/520/611 from a remote location. Dial type remote controller (FAP-5551, 5552) This remote controller can only be used when in the AUTO or NAV mode. 1. Turn on the remote controller switch to show “FU” (Follow-Up) on the control unit.
3. STEERING MODE FU is one of auto steering modes, which outputs an absolute value determined with the course control knob to drive the rudder, thus changing the ship’s course at a given rate of change towards a set point.. 2. Rotate the dial on the remote controller to set the rudder angle. The angle must be more than 10°, otherwise no steering will occur. Rotating dial 3. When you terminate the REMOTE mode, turn off the remote controller.
3. STEERING MODES Button (FAP-6211, 6212), Lever (FAP-6221, FAP-6222), Dodge (FAP-6231, 6232) type remote controller These controllers may be used in the STBY, AUTO and NAV modes. 1. For button and lever type remote controllers, turn on the remote controller power. The dodge type remote controller doesn’t have the power switch, it can be operated by simply pressing the direction buttons.
3. STEERING MODE 2. For button and dodge remote controllers, press the [PORT] or [STBD] key on the remote controller. For the lever type, position the lever for the direction. Operating remote controller (ex. button and lever types) 3. For the button and lever type remote controllers, turn off the remote controller to terminate the REMOTE mode. (For dodge type remote controller, simply release a key.) Control is returned to the control unit and the previously used mode (STBY, AUTO or NAV) is restored.
3. STEERING MODES 3.6 DODGE Mode The DODGE mode is useful in situations where you need to quickly take control of the helm to avoid an obstruction. 3.6.1 Dodging in STBY mode 1. Press the [PORT] or [STBD] key down to steer appropriately until the boat finishes the turning. The equipment goes into the DODGE mode while pressing the [PORT] or [STBD] key. In this mode, steering can not be done from other control units or remote controllers.
3. STEERING MODE 3.6.2 Dodging in AUTO or NAV mode 1. Press the [PORT] or [STBD] key down to change the course until the boat finishes to avoid the obstruction. The equipment goes into the DODGE mode and the audible alarm sounds when one of the above keys is operated, to alert you to dodge operation. Note also that “DODG” appears on the display. Note: Press the [PORT] and [STBD] keys together to fix the course setting value.

4. MENU OPERATION Most settings are carried out in the menus. The items shown in each menu depend on the mode in use. For the STBY mode the complete menu is shown. When the menu is accessed while in either the AUTO or NAV modes, only the menu items that are most frequently used in those modes are shown. The ALARM SETUP menu description is shown on Chapter 5. 4.1 STBY Mode Menu While in the STBY mode, press the [TURN/MENU] key twice to show the STBY mode menu.
4. MENU OPERATION 4.1.1 Setting parameters The PARAMETER SETUP menu sets various parameters for the control of the NAVpilot-511/520/611. 1. In the STBY mode, press the [TURN/MENU] key twice to open the STBY mode menu. 2. Rotate the course control knob to select “PARAMETER SETUP”. 3. Press the course control knob to show the PARAMETER SETUP menu.
4. MENU OPERATION 3. Rotate the course control knob to select FULL-AUTO, SEMI-AUTO, MANUAL-CALM, MANUAL-MODERATE or MANUAL-ROUGH as appropriate, and then press the course control knob. FULL-AUTO: Auto adjustment and self-learning are on. SEMI-AUTO: Auto adjustment is on, self-learning is off. MANUAL-CALM: Self-learning is off, using the parameter selected for calm sea. MANUAL-MODERATE: Self-learning is off, using the parameters for a typical normal sea state.
4. MENU OPERATION Setting parameters manually When MANUAL-CALM, MODERATE or ROUGH is selected at the previous paragraph, set MANUAL PARAMETERS as below. You can set three parameters for MANUAL function: Weather, Rudder gain and Counter rudder. The default manual parameters provide for comfortable steering of a boat 35 feet in length at the speed of 10 kt. When speed is increased to 20 kt, the manual parameters are automatically reduced 66%. Parameter setting 100% 66% 10 kt 20 kt Ship's speed 1.
4. MENU OPERATION WEATHER When the sea is rough, the boat’s heading fluctuates to port and starboard. If the rudder is driven very often to maintain the set course, the helm mechanism may wear out. To prevent this, the weather adjustment makes the NAVpilot-511/520/611 insensitive to minute course deviations. You may choose a degree between 1° to 10°. Until the course deviation exceeds the selected setting, steering to correct the heading will not be initiated.
4. MENU OPERATION Set rudder gain so that the boat does not make frequent yaw. The figure shown below provides general guidelines for setting rudder gain. fast Boat's Speed slow calm Sea State rough light Load Condition heavy low RUDDER GAIN high General guidelines for setting rudder gain COUNTER RUDDER If the boat is heavily loaded, the heading could change excessively because of inertia. This phenomenon causes the vessel to “overshoot” the intended course.
4. MENU OPERATION Adjusting the sensitivity in monitoring the boat’s trim The NAVpilot-511/520/611 continually monitors the boat’s trim in order to keep the trim sensitivity optimum. A lower setting is common because boat’s trim usually does not change quickly. A large number changes the trim compensation value more frequently. Too high of a setting may result in the following problems. • Trim sensitivity is over-affected, resulting that a trim appears in both port and starboard directions alternately.
4. MENU OPERATION When towing the net When a boat is in tow of the fishing gear, its stern is “dragged” by the net. This causes the boat to stray from its intended course. To keep the boat on course, you need to adjust the trim manually, which can be bothersome. If you do not want to be bothered with trim adjustments, you can enable the automatic towing function to have the trim automatically adjusted. This feature is very valuable for trawlers and purse seiners. 1.
