To change the vessel's course by one
degree, press and release either the red
or green pushbutton.
To change the vessel’s course by 10
degrees per second, press and hold
either the red or green pushbutton. The
vessel will turn to the new heading at the
current Turn Rate setting. The vessel can
be dodged off course by holding the
toggle switch in the DODGE position and
pressing one of the pushbuttons. The
vessel's rudder angle will be displayed.
The rudder can be returned to the Dead
Ahead position, holding the vessel off
course, by holding the toggle switch in the
DODGE position without pressing either
pushbutton. Release the toggle switch
and the vessel will return to the
programmed course at the current Turn
Rate setting.
The currently selected type of special turn
can be started by pulling the toggle switch
to the TURN position, releasing it and
then pressing either the port or starboard
pushbutton. The direction of the special
turn is determined by which pushbutton is
used.
To interface the autopilot with a
navigation device, place the master select
switch in the NAV position.
To display the incoming data type and
cross track error sense, pull the toggle
switch to the TURN position and release
it.
To select either Normal or Reversed
response to cross track error, press the
green pushbutton.
The dodge function works as described
earlier, except that the vessel will return to
the track to the waypoint rather than the
programmed course after the dodge is
released.
The back of the remote provides two
key-hole slots which can be used to
either temporarily deposit or
permanently mount it on any suitable
location.
SEE TABLE VI FOR HOOKUP
SPECIFICATIONS.
TO MOUNT THE REMOTE
PERMANENTLY:
Drill two holes for the mounting screws
3.5 in (9.0 cm) apart.
Drop the screws' heads into the
keyhole slots and then into the two
holes drilled. Fasten the screws with
washers and nuts from the back of the
mounting surface.
TO MAKE THE REMOTE
REMOVABLE FROM IT'S MOUNT.
Provide two #10 pan head stainless
steel screws (M5 cylinder head).
Place these 3 inches (7.6 cm) apart in
a suitable location, with a gap of 0.1
inches (2.5 mm) between the
underside of the screws' heads and
the mounting surface. Drop the remote
over the screws' heads and pull it
down to mount it. Lift it up to remove
the remote for hand-held operation.
During the first year, check that the
glands are hand-tight every six
months and yearly thereafter.
