Change Course in NF4
When NF4 Remote is in command and in AUTO mode, moving the Joystick handle UP will
switch the mode to AUTO mode, while moving it DOWN will switch to STBY mode.
When NF4 is in AUTO mode and the Joystick is moved once to the right will initiate a 1-
degree course change to Starboard and if the Joystick is moved to the left-hand side, it will
initiate a 1-degree course change to Port side. When NF4 is in STBY mode, moving the
Joystick in Right or left direction switches the Remote into POWER STEER mode.
WORK Mode
While the Autopilot is in AUTO mode, you have the option to toggle between Work mode and
non-work mode. This is done through the mode select menu just like you change the
operation modes.
A letter “W” will appear in the upper left of the display to indicate that the system is now in
WORK mode (for most vessel types) Refer to the appropriate section in the P4 Installation &
Operation manual for details on these modes.
Course Recall
Some time when you are in Auto mode, you want to temporarily steer the vessel in manually.
In such situation, you can change the mode to (Power Steer) mode, and then switch back to
Auto mode. Select Course-recall mode from the mode list will allow you to go back to
autopilot’s last commanded course.
Note the last commanded course will only be available when you immediately go back to
Auto mode.
NAV Mode
If the TS4 or NF4 Remote is In-Command and is in “NAV” mode, the Autopilot will lock on to
the commanded course given by the NMEA Navigation device connected to the Autopilot.
For more information on NAV Mode, refer to the appropriate sections in the P Series
Installation & Operation manual.
The TILLER lever has no effect in NAV Mode.
Alarm Clear
Should an alarm condition occur within the P4, an audible alarm within the
Remote will sound. Press CMD button will suppress the alarm.
The audible alarm also sounds whenever a pushbutton is activated.
