Simrad AP16 Autopilot

Contrast
The contrast of the display may be adjusted to 10 levels (10
= highest contrast). The setting is stored when the system is
turned off.
Adjustment is local to the control unit you adjust. At high
temperatures, not all levels are available due to automatic
temperature compensation.
Press the STBY button to leave the User setup.
AUTO Mode
Settings that are added for the AUTO mode are shown below.
Other relevant settings are described under STANDBY mode in
this chapter.
Response
The Autotune function in the AP16 is so refined that 80-85 % of
the boats will need no further adjustments of the steering
parameters. On some boats, however, or at particular sea
conditions a fine tuning of the steering parameters may improve
the performance of the autopilot.
The Response control allows you to make this fine
tuning. It can be set to seven levels. Level 3 (default)
has the values of Rudder and Counter Rudder
parameters set by the Autotune function. If no
Autotune is made (not recommended) the level 3
values are the factory default values.
A low response level reduces the rudder activity and provides a
more “loose” steering.
A high response level increases the rudder activity and provides
a more “tight” steering.
A too high response level will make the boat start S-ing.
Range: 1 – 7
Default: 3
