Instruction manual

Simrad AP26 and AP27 Autopilots
60 20221586F
A low response level reduces the rudder activity and provides a
more “loose” steering.
A high response level increases the rudder activity and provides
a more “tight” steering.
A too high response level will make the boat start S-ing.
Range: 1 – 7
Default: 3
Thruster sensivity
(only available if a thruster is connected).
The Thruster sensitivity determines how many
degrees the vessel will deviate from the set course
before a thruster command is given. As the vessel
deviates from its heading, the thruster will push the
vessel back on. A higher value will reduce the
thruster activity.
If the thruster commands are hunting from side to side, the set
value for Thruster sens may be too low.
Range: 3° to 30° in 1° increments.
Default: 5°.
Seastate filter
OFF: Seastate filter is disabled.
AUTO: Automatically reduces rudder activity
and autopilot sensitivity in rough
weather by an adaptive process (default).
MANUAL: Manual yaw band adjust (1-10, 10 ≈
±6°).
The manual setting determines the number of degrees the vessel
may deviate from the set course before any command is given to
the rudder. The AUTO setting is recommended. The MANUAL
settings may be used to find the optimum combination of course
keeping and low rudder activity in rough but steady sea
conditions.
