TMQ AP4 Autopilot (AP4S10) 15 of 62 Version 4.96 9/10/2017
Jog Switch Steering
The boat may be steered using a jog switch input with push button select
switch. Special remote response mode r-7 or r-8 must be set depending on
remote control requirements.
A jog lever is a device comprising a lever under spring tension for centre
reference and two switches for bi directional control.
With AP4 set for JOG input, a number of operations have been included in the
software to extend the use of the AP4 control for some navigational situations
(refer to selection of special remote mode 908, r-7 or r-8 in the subsection
“Special Modes Display Selection” of “AP4 Special Modes”)
When special remote mode r-7 is set and the system is fitted with a jog lever
and separate push button select switch, the boat can be steered using the jog
lever either in AUTO JOG mode or POWER STEER JOG mode.
