stored in the memory of the AP50 system. No specific action
is required to save the selected values to memory. Once the
value is changed, it is stored until the next time the menu
item is selected and changed.
• The Installation Set-up is considered global (except
language), which enables the values to be available to all
control units in the system.
• The values in the Seatrial Settings are dependent on the
successful completion of the Dockside Settings.
• In the table on page 293 the range of each setting is listed.
Note the final value selected during the Installation Set-up,
and also note any changes of values.
Before attempting to turn on the AP50 and perform an
Installation Set-up, the hardware installation and electrical
installation must be completed and performed in accordance
with the installation instructions.

A single press on the

(STBY) button switches the system on.
After approximately 5 seconds, the unit that was turned on will
show the Standby mode display. When the AP50 is delivered
new from the factory (and any time after a master reset of
memories has been performed), the Installation Set-up values are
all reset to preset (default) values. The warning message "Setup
Required" will appear at “turn on” and if an attempt to access the
AUTO or NAV modes is made.
When a JD5X Distribution Unit is installed, the AP50 system
automatically detects during power up and set-up whether dual
analog steering gears or steering gears with dual directional
valves are connected.
For ON/OFF control (JD50, JD51 and JD52) the directional
valve solenoids are operated directly. For analog control (JD53)
the continuous control signal commands rudder angle to the
steering gear electronics.
Rudder direction and maximum and minimum values are set
under the AP50 Installation menu. These settings determine the
operating voltage range of the rudder control signal.
The Installation Menu is presented on the autopilot display by
pressing and holding the
NAV
SETUP
(NAV/SETUP) button for 5
seconds.
Note ! The Installation Menu is different from the User Set-up Menu.
Refer to the flow diagram on page 53 for a pictorial view of the
Installation Menu.
