To change the vessel's course by one
degree, press and release either the red
or green pushbutton.
To change the vessel’s course by 10
degrees per second, press and hold
either the red or green pushbutton. The
vessel will turn to the new heading at the
current Turn Rate setting. The vessel
can be dodged off course by holding the
toggle switch in the
DODGE
position and
pressing one of the pushbuttons. The
vessel's rudder angle will be displayed.
The rudder can be returned to the Dead
Ahead position, holding the vessel off
course, by holding the toggle switch in
the
DODGE
position without pressing
either pushbutton. Release the toggle
switch and the vessel will return to the
programmed course at the current Turn
Rate setting.
The currently selected type of special
turn can be started by pulling the toggle
switch to the
TURN
position, releasing it
and then pressing either the port or
starboard pushbutton. The direction of
the special turn is determined by which
pushbutton is used.
To interface the autopilot with a
navigation device, place the master
select switch in the
NAV
position.
To display the incoming data type and
cross track error sense, pull the toggle
switch to the
TURN
position and release
it.
To select either Normal or Reversed
response to cross track error, press the
green pushbutton.
The dodge function works as described
earlier, except that the vessel will return
to the track to the waypoint rather than
the programmed course after the dodge
is released.
The back of the remote provides two
key-hole slots which can be used to
either temporarily deposit or
permanently mount it on any suitable
location.
SEE TABLE VI FOR HOOKUP
SPECIFICATIONS.
TO MOUNT THE REMOTE
PERMANENTLY:
Drill two holes for the mounting
screws 3.5 in (9.0 cm) apart.
Drop the screws' heads into the
keyhole slots and then into the two
holes drilled. Fasten the screws with
washers and nuts from the back of the
mounting surface.
TO MAKE THE REMOTE
REMOVABLE FROM IT'S MOUNT.
Provide two #10 pan head stainless
steel screws (M5 cylinder head).
Place these 3 inches (7.6 cm) apart in
a suitable location, with a gap of 0.1
inches (2.5 mm) between the
underside of the screws' heads and
the mounting surface. Drop the
remote over the screws' heads and
pull it down to mount it. Lift it up to
remove the remote for hand-held
operation.
During the first year, check that the
glands are hand-tight every six
months and yearly thereafter.
