Autopilot
If a compatible autopilot computer is connected to the system, autopilot functionality is
available in the system.
The system does not allow for more than one autopilot computer on the network.
The display unit automatically detects the autopilot computer available on the network and
presents settings, configuration and user options for the connected computer.
For details about installing and configuring an autopilot computer, refer to the separate
manuals that come with the autopilot computer.
Safe operation with the autopilot
Warning: An autopilot is a useful navigational aid, but DOES NOT replace
a human navigator.
Warning: A physical standby button should be available for the autopilot.
Activating the autopilot
You activate the autopilot from any panel by selecting the autopilot tile in the Instrument
bar, followed by selecting a mode in the Autopilot Controller.
Switching from automatic mode to manual steering
You switch the autopilot to STBY mode from any automatic operation mode from the
autopilot pop-up or the standby button.
Ú
Note: If the unit is connected to an EVC system via the SG05, you can take manual
control of the steering regardless of the autopilot mode. Refer to "Using the autopilot in an EVC
system" on page 60.
