INSTALLATION
Init rudder
actual
INSTALLATION
Init rudder
midship
Initial Rudder
When Actual is selected, the autopilot will
use the current
rudder position as midship
reference (bumpless transfer) when
switching from Stby to Auto or Nav. (or
Dodge).
When Midship is selected the autopilot will
use zero degrees as midship reference.
Hence, the rudder will always move to
midship when switching from Stby (or
Dodge) to Auto or Nav mode.
Master reset
INSTALLATION
Master reset
of memories?
Note ! A Master Reset is part of the final test at factory and will reset the memories
to factory settings. Unless you need to clear all stored values during the
installation setup procedure, you should not perform a Master Reset.
If Master Reset is performed, Dockside settings must be done again, as well
as Interface- and Seatrial settings. If an RFC35 or RC25 is connected, the
compass must
be re-calibrated!
The Master Reset needs a double confirmation to prevent an unwanted reset.
To perform a Master Reset, rotate the course selector clockwise and observe
the display; then rotate the course selector counter clockwise.
Interface Settings
The AP35 system provides a totally flexible approach to the input of data
from heading sensors and other peripheral equipment. Identification of the
type of equipment connected to the AP35 system is performed in the
Interface Setup Menu.
If your system includes connection of external equipment to the NMEA0183
data ports in Junction Unit or NI300X, or if the GI51 is installed with
optional compass units or an optional analog wind vane unit, they must be
configured under this menu. This procedure allows you to assign an
abbreviated name to identify the type of equipment that is connected to each
of the available hardware ports in the AP35 system.
