4.32 Software Setup Procedure
Description of Installation Settings
The design of the autopilot includes advanced features that
have simplified the installation and setup of an autopilot. The
principle advantage is that manual adjustments that needed to
be done on previous models are no longer necessary with the
AP21 and AP22.
Note ! The installation settings must be performed as part of the installation
of the autopilot system. Failure to correctly set the values in the
installation settings may prohibit the autopilot from functioning
properly!
The Installation Settings are grouped into the following
functional categories:
• Language: Selects language used for display
information
• Dockside Settings: Items to be set prior to seatrials
• Interface Setup: Sets the identification of navigation
and optional equipment connected to
the autopilot system
• Seatrial Settings: Determines automatic calibrations and
steering parameters
• Parameters Permits viewing, setting or changing
of steering parameters
• NMEA test Loopback test menu to verify that the
hardware is OK.
• Master reset Master reset of memories.
Each group is designed to focus on specific functions related to
an installation activity, and enable quick access when changes
need to be made.
Some important points regarding the installation settings
values:
• When the autopilot is delivered new from the factory, (AND
ANY TIME AFTER A MASTER RESET OF MEMORIES HAS
BEEN PERFORMED) the Installation Settings are all reset to
preset (default) values. The warning message
"INSTALLATION SETUP REQUIRED" will appear at turn on
