TMQ AP4 - Alarms

TMQ AP4 Autopilot (AP4S10) 18 of 62 Version 4.96 9/10/2017
When the rudder ratio setting is too low, turns will take an excessive amount
of time, and the vessel may "wander".
When the rudder ratio setting is too high, turns will be rapid and the vessel
will oversteer.
Experiment will find the best settings for your vessel. Only make small
changes at a time.
Alarms
A number of conditions will cause alarms to sound. Each alarm has a different
"beep pattern" (except watch timer and commercial watch alarm). The external
alarm output may also be turned on by some of these alarms; this does not have
a "beep pattern" but instead it sounds continually.
Watch Timer Alarm
This alarm indicates that the time set by the user has expired.
Alarm pattern is 1 second on, 1 second off until reset.
Commercial Watch Alarm (Option)
This alarm indicates that the autopilot is in control of the vessel but timer key
has not been pressed within the last five minutes (if set for 5 minutes). Alarm
pattern is 1 second on then 1 second off until reset.
The external alarm output is turned on 1 minute after the internal alarm begins
to sound.
Angle Off Course Alarm
The alarm pattern is 0.2 seconds on, 0.2 seconds off when vessel is more than
45 degrees from course-to-steer.
