To unlock the locked remote units, you have to take control from
the master unit by quickly double-pressing its
button.
An external system selector can be used to change from
automatic to manual steering and vice versa (refer to IMO
resolution MSC.64 sec.4). The selector switch must adequately
indicate which method of steering is in operation at any given
moment. When manual steering is selected, the AP50 will be
disconnected from the vessel's steering system and show
"Disengaged" on the display (no mode indicators are lit on the
FU50). When automatic steering is selected, the AP50 will go to
AUTO mode (or AUTO-WORK mode). For connection of an
external system selector switch, refer to "System Select", on
page 87.
In the AP50, the STANDBY, AUTO, and NAV modes have a
User Set-up menu with adjustable settings. You can easily reach
the set-up menus by a quick double press on the
button from the mode you are currently in. Move through the
menu items by pressing the Port and Starboard buttons. Use the
course knob to change a value.
