Installation

• Seatrial Settings: Determines automatic calibrations and steering
parameters
• View Parameters Permits viewing, setting, or changing steering
parameters
Each group is designed to focus on specific functions related to an
installation activity, and enable quick access when changes need to be made.
Some important points regarding the installation settings values:
• When the AP35 is delivered new from the factory, (AND ANY TIME
AFTER A MASTER RESET OF MEMORIES HAS BEEN
PERFORMED) the Installation Settings are all reset to preset (default)
values. The warning message "Installation Setup Required" will appear at
turn on and if an attempt is made to access the AUTO or NAV modes.
• The Dockside, Interface and Seatrial settings can only be accessed when
the system is in STBY mode.
• The values that are selected (also referred to as "PARAMETERS") from
within the Installation Settings Menu, are stored in the memory of the
AP35 system. No specific action is required to "SAVE" the selected
values. Once the value is changed, it is stored until the next time the
menu item is selected and changed.
• The Installation Settings are considered global, enabling values to be
available to all control units in the system.
• The values in the Seatrial Settings are dependent on successful
completion of the Dockside Settings.
Before attempting to turn on the AP35 and perform an Installation Setup, the
hardware installation and electrical installation must be completed in
accordance with the installation instructions.
Installation Settings Menu
The Installation Settings Menu (ISM) is presented on the autopilot display
by pressing and holding the NAV/SETUP pushbutton for 5 seconds.
Note ! The INSTALLATION SETTINGS MENU is different from the USER SETUP
MENU . Refer to flow diagram on the next page for a pictorial view of
Installation Settings Menu .
There are several actions that you can do once you have accessed the ISM:
• Answer YES to the question by rotating the course dial clockwise
• Proceed to the next item in the menu by pressing the STBD pushbutton.
(Proceeding to the next item when presented with a question is the same
as answering NO to the question.)
• Proceed back to the previous item in the menu by pressing the PORT
button
• Change the selected item shown rotating the course dial
• Leave the ISM by selecting STBY, AUTO, WORK or NAV.
