ComNav 1500 / 1510 Autopilot - 29 -
5. FUNCTION
5.1 Standby Mode
At power On, the Autopilot starts in standby mode and
operates as a passive compass repeater. No page-arrow
is shown at the top of the display.
The current course is displayed on the top-line.
The rudder angle is displayed on the bottom line.
In any function, the top-line displays the heading at all times.
5.2 Autopilot Mode
Prior to activating any automatic steering function, the boat
should be steadied on the desired heading and on track for
5 to 10 seconds to minimize large course changes when
activated. The Autopilot operates with course errors up to 90°,
and cross-track errors up to 2 nautical miles.
5.2.1 Activate Automatic Steering
To select a steering function, press MODE.
The page-arrow at top of the display indicates the selected page.
To activate the selected steering function, press SET when the
lower-line text is flashing.
The reversed lit text [AUTO] to the right and in the middle on the
display always confirms that an automatic steering function is
activated. The function text at lower-line to the right confirms which
steering function is activated, ex [HDG] for compass steering.
Note! If a page is not available, such as when no waypoint
information is programmed / activated or no navigator or wind
transducer connected, the page-arrow will not stop at that page.
5.2.2 Turn Off Automatic Steering
To turn off automatic steering, press OFF.
To turn off the Autopilot when you are in the process of changing
functions or are in setup mode, press and hold OFF for more than
two seconds.
