Robertson AP11 Autopilot
80 20220513E
WARNING ! The Autotune function will take control of the boat and
perform a number of S-turns. It must always be
performed in open waters with sufficient safe distance
to other traffic. The Autotune function may take from 1
to 2 minutes to complete.
• Activate the AUT TUNE by pushing MODE, - the display
will flash YES or NO.
• If the display reads NO, press > to acknowledge YES.
• Press MODE again to start the Autotune.
• After the Autotune is completed the display will read
dONE. The rudder must be controlled manually as the
mode is returned to STBY.
After having performed the Autotune, there should
normally be no need for further adjustments. On certain
installations, however, you may want to "fine tune" the
parameters after the Autotune due to the special steering
characteristic of a specific boat. Viewing or changing the
Autotune parameters are done from within the VIEW
PARAMETERS menu item.
View parameters
A boat's steering parameters found by Autotune can be
looked at and if needed changed under this menu item. The
steering parameters can also be set to values manually
instead of performing an Autotune. The parameters are
divided into two sets:
• HI = Steering parameters for automatic steering at HI
speed
• LO = Steering parameters for automatic steering at LO
speed
Access the View Parameter Menu as described on page 68.
Press the MODE button to access the first menu item. Study
the flow chart and table below for further information and
follow the recommendations on the next page.
