What to do if Simrad AP16 displays 'Com. failure with ACXX'?
If your Simrad Autopilot System displays 'Com. failure with ACXX', it suggests a faulty Autopilot Computer or poor Robnet2 cable connections. Here's how to troubleshoot: 1. Check the Robnet2 connectors and cable. 2. Replace the Autopilot Computer PCB.
What to do if Simrad Autopilot System displays 'Compass data missing'?
If your Simrad Autopilot System displays 'Compass data missing', it indicates that there is no data from the selected compass. Here's what you can do: 1. If multiple compasses are connected, use the User Setup2/Source select menu to choose a different compass. 2. Perform a source update if no compass is available. 3. Check the connections. 4. Replace the compass PCB (ensure you don't cut cables and use the screw terminals inside).
What to do if Simrad AP16 shows high supply voltage?
If the Simrad Autopilot System indicates a high supply voltage, it means the voltage exceeds 31.2V. To address this: 1. Verify the voltage in the System Data Menu. 2. Switch the autopilot off. 3. Check and repair the battery charger.
What to do if Simrad AP16 Autopilot System shows low supply voltage?
If the Simrad Autopilot System indicates a low supply voltage, it means the voltage is less than 10.8 Volts. To resolve this: 1. Verify the voltage in the System Data Menu. 2. Switch the autopilot off and charge the batteries. 3. Check and repair the battery charger.
What to do if Simrad Autopilot System boat is off course?
If your boat is off course when using the Simrad Autopilot System, it could be due to several reasons. The boat's heading might be outside the fixed off-course limit of 20 degrees due to extreme weather conditions or slow speed (it resets automatically when inside the limit). Here are some possible solutions: 1. Check the steering parameters, including rudder, autotrim, and seastate filter. 2. Increase the rudder value. 3. Increase boat speed if possible, or steer by hand.
What to do if Simrad AP16 displays NAV data failure?
If your Simrad Autopilot System displays a NAV data failure, first check the Nav. Receiver/GPS setup. For further assistance, consult the Service menu Chapter 4.9. This issue arises when NAV data is either missing or invalid.
How to fix Simrad AP16 compass data missing?
If your Simrad Autopilot System displays a 'Compass data missing' error, and if multiple compasses are connected, use the User Setup2/Source select menu to choose a different compass. If no compass is available, perform a source update. Check all connections, and if necessary, replace the compass PCB, being careful not to cut any cables, as there are screw terminals inside. This problem indicates that no data is being received from the selected compass.
