l e v e l s :
• R e s p o n s e L e v e l 1 : A u t o S e a s t a t e o n ( A u t o m a t i c d e a d b a n d )
The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat movements and
only react to true variations in course. This provides the best compro-
mise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy.
• R e s p o n s e L e v e l 2 : A u t o S e a s t a t e o f f ( M i n i m u m d e a d b a n d )
This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to increased
power consumption and drive unit activity.
• R e s p o n s e L e v e l 3 : A u t o S e a s t a t e o f f + y a w d a m p i n g
This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by introducing
counter rudder yaw damping You can adjust the counter rudder setting in
Dealer Calibration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide).
