2.10 Automatic Speed selection
The AP35 provides two different sets of steering parameters for controlling
the response of the boat at different speeds (HI or LO) while in AUTO and
NAV modes.
The AP35 always selects the HI speed steering parameters when first
switched on. This is a safety feature. After initial turn on, selection of the
steering parameters is done automatically, based on the availability of input
data from either an external speed log or an external navigator, or manually.
The AP35 automatically selects the HI or LO parameter set. The speed at
which the AP35 changes from HI to LO (or opposite) is determined by the
"Transition Speed" set in the Installation Setup Menu.
