3.12 Software Setup Procedure
Description of Installation Settings
The design of the AP300X includes advanced features that have
simplified the installation and setup of an autopilot. The principle
advantage is that manual adjustments that needed to be done on
previous models are no longer necessary with the AP300X.
Note ! The installation settings must be performed as part of the installation of the
AP300X system. Failure to correctly set the values in the installation
settings may prohibit the AP300X from functioning properly!
The Installation Settings are grouped into the following functional
categories:
• Language: Selects language used for display information
• Dockside Settings: Sets values of items to be set prior to seatrials
• Interface Setup: Sets the identification of navigation and
optional equipment connected to the AP300X
system
• 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 AP300X 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 AP300X 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.
