Autopilot setup
Verifying the autopilot connection
When an AC12, AC42, or SG05 is connected to the NSS system, the NSS will automatically
detect the autopilot and an Autopilot menu item will be included in the Settings menu.
If no
Autopilot item is available in the menu, establish the connection by running the auto
select process.
The auto select process may also be used if the list of data sources needs to be updated when
a unit has been physically replaced.
If the AC12, AC42 or SG05 is later disconnected, the
Autopilot menu item will remain avail-
able, but only a few of the menu items will be available.
Commissioning the autopilot
When the autopilot installation is completed, the commissioning procedures must be per-
formed. Failure in setting up the autopilot correctly may prohibit the autopilot from function-
ing properly.
The setup of the autopilot computers (AC12/42) can be done in full from either an NSS unit or
from an AP24 or AP28 control head (if  tted). The following sections describe how you con-
