4.31 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
