4 CONFIGURATION
4.1 Scaling
Before using the Wheelpilot, it is necessary to program the
steering sensitivity, which is related to the number of turns
that the wheel makes between end stops. This will determine
the amount of steering correction the Wheelpilot applies.
With the power off, press and hold TACK and NAV, then
switch on the power. Both Port and Starboard LEDs will illu-
minate, the Nav LED will flash, and a repeated sequence of
beeps will be heard. The number of flashes and beeps in the
sequence indicates the current scaling factor (Fig 4.1).
The scaling factor is the total number of half turns from lock to
lock. For example, if the wheel has 1
1
⁄2 turns from lock to lock,
the scaling factor will be 3.
Press the Starboard ( ) key to increase the scaling factor by
one, to a maximum value of 10 (= 5 turns lock-to-lock). Press
the Port ( ) key to decrease the scaling factor by one, to a min-
imum value of 2 (Fig 4.2) -
