Simrad AP16 Autopilot
40 20221560E
STANDBY Mode
Backlight
The backlight of the display and buttons may be
adjusted to 10 levels (10 = brightest). The setting is
stored when the system is turned off. Adjustment is
local to the control unit you adjust or synchronized with
other units in the Simrad Group (page 116).
NAV source
Select the source for NAV mode steering e.g. CP34.
NAV WIND
This setup will configure the active mode under the
NAV WIND button. The following alternatives are
available:
• NAV (Ref page 27)
• NoDrift (Ref. page 26)
• WIND Auto
Wind steering will be disabled when ‘NAV’ or ‘NoDrift’ is
selected.
Note ! Wind steering is only available if ‘Boat type’ is set to ‘Sail’ in
the Installation/Dockside menu (see Dockside settings, page 87).
If ‘NAV WIND’ is set to ‘WIND Auto’, wind
steering will be enabled. Pressing the NAV WIND
button will then initiate the WIND-mode. The
autopilot will automatically select between
apparent and true wind steering.
True wind steering is used when running. When the boat is
running, it will also be surfing on the waves. This may lead to
significant changes in boat speed, hence changes in apparent
wind angle. Steering to apparent wind is therefore used only
when beating or reaching.
