Pilot response
The Autotune function is so refi ned that the majority of boats will need no further
adjustments of the steering parameters. On some boats, however, in particular sea conditions
a fi ne tuning of the steering parameters may improve the performance of the autopilot.
The Response control allows you to make this fi ne tuning for each of the two (Hi/Lo)
parameter sets. The response can be set to nine levels. Level 4 is default with parameter values
as set by the Autotune function. If no Autotune is made (not recommended) the level 4 values
are the factory default values.
• A low response level reduces the rudder activity and provides a more loose steering.
• A high response level increases the rudder activity and provides a more tight steering.
• Response level too high will make the boat start S-ing.
When you access the RESPONSE page the highlighted Response parameter is the one that is
active.
 Note: Adjustment of Hi and Lo values can be performed even with the boat out of the water.
Selection of Hi / Lo parameters
The Manual select item has three alternatives:
Auto – Hi – Lo.
• Auto is automatically set by speed input
• Hi or Lo must be set manually when there is no speed input
The sub-headline in the display shows the active parameter set and how it is
selected.
Wind response
Verify that the diff erence between Set Heading and the actual heading is at an acceptable
minimum.
If the diff erence between the set wind angle and the actual wind angle is too high, increase
the Wind response to reduce the diff erence.
If the actual wind angle is S-ing around the set wind angle, or the rudder activity is too high,
the Wind response should be reduced.
