To configure DEFAULT RESPONSE:
1. Use the
DEFAULT RESPONSE page.
2. Use the
response level. The adjustment can be
made from 1 to 9 (1 to 3 for T150 &
T400 systems - see below)
3. To move to the next setting press the
rent calibration chapter and save all setting changes, press the
button.
150G & 400G autopilot systems
150G and 400G autopilot systems have nine response level options:
Level 1 gives the least pilot activity to conserve power, but may
compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy
Levels 4 to 6 should give good course keeping with crisp, well-controlled
turns under normal operating conditions
Level 9 gives the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity, but
may lead to a rough passage in open waters as the autopilot may 'fight'
the sea
T150 & T400 autopilot systems
T150 and T400 (non-GyroPlus) autopilot systems have three response
level options:
Level 1 - AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband)
• Autopilot gradually ignores repetitive boat movements and only
reacts to true variations in course
• Provides the best compromise between power consumption and
course keeping accuracy
Level 2 - AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband)
• Provides tighter course keeping
• Increased power consumption and drive unit activity
Level 3 - AutoSeastate off and counter rudder yaw damping.
• Provides tightest possible course keeping by introducing counter rud-
der yaw damping
