Additional Information About Steering Modes
Use of multiple Trackpilot control panels
The Trackpilot system may incorporate several control panels. In this case:
•
The active panel is indicated by a light in one of the steering mode buttons (RADIUS CONTROL, COURSE
CONTROL, GOTO WAYPOINT, GOTO TRACK and PROGRAM TRACK).
•
Both active and non-active panels indicate steering mode in use by lamps and displays. See the table below.
•
You can transfer control from active panel to non-active panel by pushing one of the steering mode buttons
(RADIUS CONTROL, COURSE CONTROL, GOTO WAYPOINT, GOTO TRACK and PROGRAM
TRACK). This action lets you change the steering mode or continue with previous one. To continue with the
previous steering mode, push the steering mode button corresponding to previous steering mode. Note that you
can observe lamp indications to know the current steering mode.
