Override - Raytheon NautoPilot NP 5100 Operator's Manual

1.4.8

Override

In general:
This mode is indicated (at the NautoPilot Operator Unit) when a manual steering ele-
ment (steering control unit) with an override function interrupts a control mode of the
Autopilot.
This steering element can be a handwheel, a FU Tiller or a NFU Tiller.
To interrupt an Autopilot control mode a steering element must be configured for this
function before.
If a steering element interrupts an Autopilot control mode, it is displayed with "Override"
at the top right corner of the Autopilot display and the NautoPilot Operator Unit is inac-
tive.
For the activation of an "Override" mode a NFU Tiller must have a short contact to any
direction and a FU Tiller or handwheel must be moved approx. 2 off the current posi-
tion.
For AS application:
For deactivation of an "Override" mode the "Heading" button at the NautoPilot Operator
Unit must be pressed
or
at an Override Signal Unit (or devices with a similar function) the "Autopilot" button must
be pressed.
