Compass Setup
Pressing the ENTER button when this line is highlighted starts the configuration menu for
various
compasses the autopilot can work with.
You should make sure that you have connected your compass to the correct port. Wiring
diagrams are provided in the System Overview for Compasses. You should also refer to
your compass
manual for special requirements. See the Compass Setup – Dockside
procedure for full
details.
Drive Setup
Pressing the ENTER button when this line is highlighted starts a script in which the
autopilot
automatically determines the orientation of the Rudder Follower Unit,
measuring the physical limits of the
rudder’s range of motion, figures out what kind of
steering system (i.e. reversing motor,
solenoid, etc.) is installed, and then tests all of
these to make sure everything is operating
properly. See the Drive Setup section for
more information.
Exit
Press the ENTER button to exit the Dockside Setup menu and restart the autopilot in
STANDBY mode. Alternatively, you can press and hold the red STANDBY button to shut off
the autopilot.
Alarm O/P (Alarm Output Port)
This parameter controls the function of the External Alarm Output. See the Watch Alarm
and
External Alarm sections in the Advanced Operations chapter for full details.
Thrust Type
Thrust Min
Thrust Max
If the optional CT7 Thruster Interface is installed with your P4 system, you will
need to
make adjustments to these settings. Complete instructions are included with the CT7
Thruster Interface.
Language
This parameter allows you to set the language used for the menus and messages that
appear on the Control Head. However by default, a few items remain in English at all
times, typically where there is no simple
translation for that item. Also, the word
“Language” on the menu is always shown in English.
