Operation with Apparent wind mode
The apparent wind mode requires a compass sensor, a boat speed sensor and a
wind sensor.
The apparent wind mode uses data from the mast head unit made available on the
Topline bus to steer the boat on a set Apparent Wind Angle. This mode is mainly
used while sailing upwind.
Operation with true wind mode
This mode requires a speed sensor, a compass sensor, a wind sensor and the
software add-on « true wind ». Once this mode has been selected the pilot steers the
boat to a set true wind angle calculated by the Gyropilot processor.
Operation in rudder mode
The rudder mode allows the rudder to be set at a fixed angle. The value can be
between – 35° and + 35° to the mid-ship position.
This mode can be used to check the drive unit or just to lock the rudder in a given
position.
The Auto button engages the pilot and the Stop button disengages the pilot. Make
sure the pilot is disengaged before turning the power supply off.
