What to do if Simrad TP10 loses course and goes into Standby mode?
- Q
  qhollowayJul 27, 2025
  If your Simrad Marine Equipment suddenly loses course and goes into Standby mode, it could be due to a few reasons. The power might have been interrupted briefly, or the voltage is low, so uprate batteries. It could also be that the cable used to the socket is too small, or that there is an intermittent connection. Check all connections and charge batteries. To resolve this, increase the size of the cable.

Why is Simrad TP10 helm hard over with continuous alarm?

  melissa93Aug 3, 2025
  If the helm is hard over and the alarm is continuously on for your Simrad Marine Equipment, it means that the steerage way is insufficient to control the course, or the sails are aback. To solve this, reset the vessel on course and re-engage pilot.

  If you cannot select Steer To Wind mode on your Simrad Marine Equipment, it could be due to a few reasons. The masthead unit might not be connected, or the SimNet system is not switched on or powered. To resolve this, check connections and check that the system is on.

  If your Simrad Marine Equipment loses course under Steer To Wind mode, the apparent wind has become too light to give a consistent direction. To solve this, change to Compass mode.
