Installation settings
The installation setup includes dockside and seatrial configuration of drives, together with
compass calibration.
When the autopilot is delivered from factory AND ANY TIME AFTER AN AUTOPILOT RESET HAS
BEEN PERFORMED, the installation settings are all reset to factory preset (default) values. A
notification will be displayed, and a complete setup has to be made.
¼ Note: The Installation settings can only be accessed in STBY mode.
Warning: The installation settings must be performed as part of the
commissioning of the autopilot system. Failure to do so correctly may
prohibit the autopilot from functioning properly!
¼ Note: The seatrial settings are dependent on successful completion of the dockside settings.
Dockside - Drive system
Drive units must be configured and calibrated before they can be used.
The drive system configuration dialog lists all drive units available on the network. The details
field includes drive type, serial number and source name.
When the drive configuration is completed this is indicated with a tick after the drive name.
The dialog will not illustrate drive type and location before the drive location and type is
defined.
The following symbols are used to illustrate drive type:
Tunnel thruster
Azimuth
Voith Schneider
Rudder
WaterJet
The figure shows a completed commissioning for a vessel with one rudder driven by an SD80
board, one solenoid operated tunnel thruster and one analog tunnel thruster operated by
two different AD80 boards.
