limit setting is only active during autosteering on straight courses, NOT during course
changes. Rudder limit does not affect Non-Follow-up steering
• Off heading limit: 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
• Track response: Defines how fast the autopilot shall respond after having registered a
cross track distance
• Track approach angle: Defines the angle used when the vessel is approaching a leg. This
setting is used both when you start navigating and when you use track offset
• Course change confirm angle: Defines the limits for course change to next waypoint in a
route. If the course change is more than this set limit, you are prompted to verify that the
upcoming course change is acceptable.
Sailing (NAC-2/NAC-3)
Ú
Note: Sailing parameters are only available when the boat type is set to Sail.
• Wind mode: Select what wind function the autopilot will use when in wind mode
-
Auto:
If TWA is <70º: Wind mode will use AWA
If TWA is ≥70º: Wind mode will use TWA
- Apparent
- True
• Tack time: Controls the rate of turn (tack time) when performing a tack in wind mode.
• Tack angle: Controls the angle that the boat will tack to between 50º - 150º in AUTO mode
• Manual speed: If neither boat speed or SOG data is available and or deemed reliable a
manual value for speed source can be entered and used by the autopilot to aid steering
calculations
Steering response
Ú
Note: Only available for NAC-1 autopilot computers.
Used to increase or decrease the steering sensitivity. A low response level reduces the rudder
activity and provides a more loose steering. A high response level increases the rudder activity
and provides more tight steering. Too high a response level will cause the boat to make S
movements.
Installation
Used for autopilot installation and commissioning. See the separate NSS evo3 Installation
manual.
Commissioning
Ú
Note: Only available for NAC-1 autopilot computers.
Used for commissioning the rudder or virtual rudder feedback. See the separate NSS evo3
Installation manual.
