Autopilot modes
The autopilot has several steering modes. The number of modes
and features within the mode depend on the autopilot computer,
the boat type and available inputs, as explained in the description of
the following steering modes.
Selecting an autopilot mode
You select Standby mode and AUTO mode by pressing the
dedicated STBY and AUTO keys.
You select other modes and automatic features by selecting the
relevant option from the Mode list, activated by pressing the MODE
key.
Standby mode
Standby mode is used when you steer the boat at the helm.
• Switch to Standby mode by pressing the STBY key.
Ú
Note: If sensor data vital for autopilot operation (e.g. rudder
response) is lost when the autopilot is running in an automatic
mode, the system will automatically switch to Standby mode.
Non-Follow Up (NFU) mode
In NFU mode you can use the port and starboard keys on the
controller to operate the rudder. The rudder will move as long as
the key is pressed.
• Switch to NFU mode by pressing one of the port or starboard
keys when the autopilot is in Standby mode or FU mode.
Follow-up (FU) mode
In FU mode you turn the rotary knob to adjust the set rudder angle.
The rudder will move to the commanded angle and then stop.
• Switch to FU mode from any mode by selecting the Follow-up
option in the Mode list, or switch directly from Standby mode or
NFU mode to FU mode by pressing the rotary knob.
