Trouble Shooting; Alarms - Simrad AP25 Manual

6 TROUBLE SHOOTING

An autopilot is a complex system. Its performance dependents
on a proper installation and a successful sea trial.
In the event of an autopilot failure, the AP25's numerous test
features will assist you in isolating a probable fault.
Audible and visual alarm is provided for every fault being
detected.
The audible alarm is reset by pressing any button (e.g. by
changing mode from AUTO to STANDBY). All visual alarms
will remain and alternate with the operating display until the
fault has been rectified. Refer to the table below for hints and try
to solve the problem yourself. You may also consult your nearest
Simrad dealer for assistance, if required.
Perform any repair action in the listed sequence.
