ComNav Marine 1420 Autopilot System
5. Press the Red Key
The Autopilot will beep. The light under
the Red Key
will stop flashing. The light
under the Speed Key
will begin to flash.
6. Move the steering wheel to the
mid-ships position
Position the wheel as if you were going
Dead Ahead, in a straight line.
7. Press the Speed Key
The autopilot will now begin to make a
number of rudder movements. It is
learning your steering system.
Please wait!
When the Autopilot has finished the
rudder movements, the light below the
Speed Key
will blink alternately with lights
below the Red and Green Keys.
8. You are now in the Bleed Mode
Turn to Fill And Bleed on page 30.
Come back here, when done.
If you did not install a Reversing
Pumpset, or you are not retro-fitting
the 1420 on a vessel that already has
hydraulic steering, you will not have to
bleed your hydraulic system. Go to
step 9 instead.
9. Press the Speed Key
again
After you press the Speed Key
the
Autopilot will do one of two things:
1) The light under the Speed Key
will
be flashing – indicating that you
have a magnetic sensor:
⇒ Skip to Magnetic Compass
Alignment on the next page.
2) All the lights will be turning off and
on in a rotating pattern, which
indicates that you have a fluxgate
compass – which you must now
compensate. However, you must
do that out on open water – so for
now, you can turn off the Autopilot
System.
⇒ Press the Off Key
.
