Simrad AP26 and AP27 Autopilots
80 20222147A
Set Thrust Direction
(Only applicable if a thruster is connected)
Rotate the course knob
clockwise to activate the Set
thrust direction setting.
Rotate the course knob CW and verify that the vessel turns to
starboard. The thruster stops after 10 seconds, or when the
STBD button is pressed.
If the boat turns to port when the course knob is turned CW,
rotate the knob to port to ensure a starboard turn.
The autopilot has now been set to the correct thrust direction.
On thrusters, a change in direction command will always be
delayed 1 second to prevent thruster breakage.
Proceed to the “Parameters” item by pressing the STBD button
or return to STANDBY mode by pressing the STBY button.
Wind Offset
Note ! This offset only applies if you have a wind transducer directly
connected to SimNet (IS12TW) or a wind transducer that outputs
data on NMEA2000 format.
The Wind Offset feature allows you to correct for a fixed wind
angle offset. Steer the boat directly into the wind with a damping
of 15s. Keep the bow a steady heading for 15-20 sec. and read
the wind angle. If necessary turn the course knob to input an off
set that makes the display read Wind 000°.
The Offset value can be either
positive or negative.
Wind damping
Damping of the apparent wind
angle is made by the Advanced
Wind Filter (AWF) in the
Autopilot Computer.
