Same procedure as in STANDBY mode.
Off Heading Lim
Off Heading Lim sets the limit for the Off Heading Alarm. An
alarm occurs when the actual heading deviates from the set
heading more than the selected limit. The default setting is 10°
and the range is 3 to 35°.
Turn Mode
Select either Rate of Turn (ROT) steering or Radius (RAD)
steering. ROT is the default setting.
ROT/RAD
ROT/RAD sets the turn value for the selected turn mode.
The rate of turn range is from 5°/minute to 720°/minute and the
radius range is 0.01 to 0.99 nautical mile.
The minimum radius can however, never be less than the value
corresponding to a Rate of Turn = 720°/minute at the set
Cruising speed.
The initial value is determined during Sea trial, but can easily be
adjusted in the User Set-up menu.
Thruster Sens
(Only available if Thruster is selected in the Installation
Dockside Menu)
The Thruster sensitivity determines how many degrees the
vessel must deviate from the set course before a thruster
command is given. As the vessel deviates from its heading, the
thruster will push the vessel back. A higher value will reduce the
thruster activity and extend the lifetime, especially for on/off
thrusters.
If the thruster commands are hunting from side to side, the set
value for Thruster sens may be too low.
If a low value for Thruster sens is needed, consider reducing
Thruster gain to avoid hunting.
Range: Continuous thrusters 0° to 30° in 1° increments
On/off thrusters 3° to 30° in 1° increments.
Default: 1° for continuous thrusters, 5° for On/Off thrusters.
