ComNav 1101 Autopilot3 - 4 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
1) LCD DISPLAY SCREEN
When the Autopilot power is on the screen displays either the actual
heading of the vessel or the commanded heading (depending on
which mode it is in). It also displays additional information such as
mode of operation and various menus.
2) STBY/OFF button
When power is initially turned on, “STANDBY” appears at the bottom
of the display screen. While in this mode, the Autopilot will not
exert any control over your vessel. STANDBY mode is used when
you want manual control of the vessel, or when you want to change
the Autopilot parameters via the
Standby menu.
When pressed and held for approximately 2 seconds, this button
turns off the Autopilot.
3) POWER STEER button
When pressed, this button places the Autopilot into POWER STEER
mode. This mode allows you to steer the vessel through the
Autopilot by using the DODGE PORT and DODGE STARBOARD
buttons.
4) AUTOPILOT button
Pressing this button places your vessel in the hands of the 1101
Autopilot. You can control the vessel’s heading by using the
ADJUSTMENT KNOB. Obstacles can be avoided by using the
DODGE PORT or DODGE STARBOARD buttons.
5) NAV button
If your vessel is equipped with a GPS, Loran C, or another
Navigation Device, this button enables the Autopilot to steer from
NMEA 0183 data provided by those devices.
6) DODGE PORT button
In POWER STEER mode
pressing and holding this button moves the
rudder to port. Pressing this button while in AUTOPILOT or NAV
modes allows you to avoid obstacles in the vessel’s path by turning
to port, and then automatically recover your original heading or track
afterwards.
7) SPEED button
This button allows you to manually switch between FAST and SLOW
steering parameters.
8) ADJUSTMENT KNOB
Used to adjust course in AUTOPILOT mode. Also used to change
various parameters stored within the 1101 Autopilot.
9) TURN button
Pressing this button while in AUTOPILOT mode initiates one of three
turn sequences—a U-turn, Emergency Turn, or a Continuous Circle
Turn.
The turn is not executed until either the DODGE PORT or the
DODGE STARBOARD button is pressed to indicate in which direction
the turn is to be made. The type of turn to be executed is selected
during setup.
