Control of steering performance
When operating in an automatic mode the AP24 utilizes
two different sets of steering parameters (HI/LO). The
parameters control the response of the boat at different
speeds or wind directions. The two parameter sets can be
automatically or manually selected, and each set can be
manually adjusted (response adjust).
The speed at which the autopilot automatically changes
from LO to HI parameters (or opposite) is determined by
the "Transition HI-LO" set in the Installation/
Commissioning/Seatrial menu, page 78. See diagram
bel
ow.
At no speed input the autopilot defaults to LO steering
parameters when engaging an automatic mode from
STBY. This is a safety feature to prevent oversteering.
