3.14 Software Setup Procedure
Description of Installation Settings
The design of the AP11 includes advanced features that
have simplified the installation and setup of an autopilot.
The principle advantage is that manual adjustments that
needed to be done on previous models are no longer
necessary with the AP11.
Note ! The installation settings must be performed as part of
the installation of the AP11. Failure to correctly set the
values in the installation settings may prohibit the AP11
from functioning properly!
The Installation Settings are grouped into the following
functional categories:
• Dockside Settings:
Sets values of items to be set
prior to sea trials
• Sea trial Settings:
Determines automatic
calibrations and steering
parameters
• View Parameters
Permits viewing, setting or
changing of steering parameters
Each group is designed to focus on specific functions related
to an installation activity.
Some important points regarding the installation settings
values:
• When the AP11 is delivered new from the factory, (AND
ANY TIME AFTER A MASTER RESET HAS BEEN
PERFORMED) the Installation Settings are all reset to
preset (default) values. The warning message INST REQ
(Installation Setup Required) will appear at turn on and if
an attempt is made to access the AUTO modes.
• The Dockside and Sea trial settings can only be accessed
when the system is in STBY mode.
• The values that are selected (also referred to as
"PARAMETERS") from within the Installation Settings
Menu, are stored in the memory of the AP11 system by
activating a dedicated push button.
