ComNav 1500 / 1510 Autopilot - 43 -
Warning! Do not activate any Autopilot functions until Dockside
Testing and Sea Trials APC routine have been performed.
7.2.3 Re-Initializing the Instrument
If two instruments have been given the same ID number by
mistake, you must re-initialize the instruments to avoid Network
disturbance and blockage of data.
To re-initialize the instrument, be prepared to press Left and Right
together during the short power up sequence, i.e. when version
and ID numbers are displayed.
The display test is then re-started on all instruments and you will
be asked to press SET on one instrument at the time as explained above.
Note! If you do not succeed to re-initialize, we suggest you
disconnect (just pull out the connection plug) on all, except one of
the instruments that had the same ID number, then re-install the
instruments and repeat the above procedure.
Run the procedure as described in Dockside First Start Up.
7.3 Remove Air from System
Filling the hydraulic system (for reversing Pumpsets and liner drives only).
Select PWR ST function by pressing MODE until the page-arrow appears under
PWR ST.
To activate the Autopilot, press SET.
Press and hold LEFT or RIGHT until the Pumpset begin to run and the rudder
moves.
If port rudder is given when you press starboard (RIGHT) push-button, and vice
versa, ignore the reversal. It will be corrected automatically when doing the APC
routine at Sea Trials.
It may take time before the steering begins to move due to air in the system.
Continue to press and hold the push-button until the steering reaches its stops.
Then reverse direction with the opposite push-button. Repeat this procedure 10
times or more until the system appears to move smoothly.
After 5 or 10 minutes of this purging, let the system rest so that entrained air can
settle out of the oil. After 5 minutes of rest, repeat the above procedure.
(With linear drives the wheel cannot be turned to assist purging unless the bypass
valve is temporarily disconnected. Make sure that the valve wiring is reconnected
before further testing. Also, with linear drives, when attempting to get air out of the
system make sure the flow adjusting wheel is set at a mid flow position).
