You return to Standby mode by selecting the standby option in the
Autopilot controller or using a physical standby key.
Follow-up steering (FU)
Ú
Note: FU mode is only available if you have a remote controller
included in the system. The MFD unit does not have a rotary
knob.
In FU mode you use the rotary knob to control the rudder angle.
Press the rotary knob, then turn the knob to set the rudder angle.
The rudder moves to the commanded angle and then stop.
• You select FU mode from the Autopilot controller
Ú
Note: If the Autopilot controller is closed or if an alarm dialog is
activated on the unit controlling the autopilot in FU mode, the
autopilot automatically changes to Standby mode.
Warning: While in FU mode you cannot take manual
control of the wheel.
AUTO mode (Heading hold)
In AUTO mode (Heading hold) the autopilot issues rudder
commands required to steer the vessel automatically on a set
heading.
Switch to AUTO mode by selecting the Heading hold mode option
in the Autopilot controller. When the mode is activated, the
autopilot selects the current boat heading as the set heading.
Changing set heading in AUTO mode (Heading hold)
You adjust the set heading by using the Port and Starboard arrow
buttons in the Autopilot controller.
An immediate heading change takes place. The new heading is
maintained until a new heading is set.
Heading capture
When the vessel is turning in AUTO mode, an instant reset of the
mode activates the heading capture function. This automatically
cancels the turn, and the vessel continues on the heading read from
the compass the very moment you re-activated the mode.
