Section 1: Short Operating Instructions

1.1 Control Unit Display Data & Initial Control Settings - (
Section 2.4
)
The ALPHASEAPILOT MFC Autopilot is Speed Adaptive and – provided it is used in adaptive
mode and calibrated for the correct vessel type (DISP or HSC per 2.16) – will automatically set
its own control parameters for optimum steering performance.
Adaptive/non adaptive operation is selectable via CONTROLS key operation and entry to the
Controls Menu which is shown on the right of the main display.
Unless alternative settings have been established from experience during sea passages with the
Autopilot in operation, selection of the non adaptive mode will be necessary to enable primary
control settings (YAW, RUDDER, COUNTER RUDDER) to be manually adjusted.
If conducting first time sea trials or - if unfamiliar with ALPHASEAPILOT MFC Autopilot operation
– see section 2.4.
