The autopilot will turn on the starboard
output for 2 seconds.
If the rudder moved
to port, the autopilot will sound its alarm
and flash the word 'Stbd' on the display.
6. Turn the autopilot to OFF, reverse
the PORT OUT and STBD OUT leads
(terminals 4 and 5) in the distribution box.
Start this section again.
7. If the hard-over to hard-over time
(H.O. Time) is greater than 28 seconds in
either direction, the autopilot will alarm
and display 'SLOW' until the
ALARM
CLEAR
key is pressed.
The autopilot will
then complete the dockside set-up
routine.
Please note that no vessel will steer
properly, especially in rough weather,
with an H.O. Time over 28 seconds.
For most vessels under 100 feet, we
recommend that the H.O. Time be 8 to
16 seconds.
The smaller and faster the vessel, the
faster the rudder should move.
For example a 30 foot high speed
vessel should have an H.O. Time
closer to 8 seconds, and an 80 foot
low speed vessel would not require
the H.O. Time to be faster than 16
seconds.
ADJUST RUDDER ANGLE INDICATOR (if installed)
Turn the master select switch on the
autopilot to the STANDBY position.
Center the rudder.
Turn the wheel to port and then to
starboard. If the rudder angle indicator
moves to port when the rudder moves to
starboard, reverse the RAI SIGNAL and
RAI RETURN leads (terminals 19 & 20)
in the distribution box.
If the rudder angle indicator(s) do not
read 0 degrees when the rudder is dead
ahead, adjust the ZERO ADJUST
potentiometer on the distribution box
circuit board until they do.
