Wind shift alarm limit (RACING)
The monitored wind shift in WIND
mode is the wind shift angle
measured from the last time the
wind angle was set on the autopilot.
If this wind shift exceeds the ‘Wind
shift alarm limit’, a wind shift
alarm will be activated.
The wind shift monitoring can be turned off by setting the ‘Wind
shift limit’ to ‘OFF’.
Note ! A wind shift reading is also presented in the ‘Wind shift’-display.
This is the change of wind direction measured from the last time
the autopilot mode was changed, e.g. STANDBY to AUTO,
AUTO to WIND. This wind shift reading is for information only,
and not to activate the wind shift alarm.
Range: OFF, 2 – 90°
Default: 30°
Dockside settings when configured for
Virtual Feedback
The Virtual Feedback algorithms in the autopilot software enable
your autopilot to steer without having to mount a conventional
rudder feedback unit. These algorithms are designed for vessels
up to 40 ft. powered by outboard or stern drives only.
Installing a feedback unit, however, will always enhance the
performance of an autopilot and provide an accurate rudder
angle indicator on the autopilot display. Unless impractical or
impossible, a rudder feedback unit should be installed.
Note ! The autopilot is automatically configured for Virtual Feedback
when there is no feedback unit connected at first time turn on, or
at turn on after a Master Reset has been performed (Page
133).
At first time turn on the autopilot will
sound and display a feedback failure
alarm after approx. 5 seconds. Press the
STBY button to silence the alarm and
follow the instructions in the display to
initiate the Setup as described on page
99.
