Make sure that both the compass heading and the
bearing to the object have the same unit (°M or °T).
Setting the Transition speed (HI/LO)
Note:
Ú
This setting is not available for NAC-1 autopilot
computers. NAC-1 use the Steering response parameter to
adjust rudder activity. See description later in this section.
This is the speed at which the system automatically changes from
LO to HI steering parameters.
On power boats it is recommended that you set a value that
represents the speed where the hull begins to plane, or the speed
where you change from slow to cruising speed.
On sailboats the transition speed should be set to around 3-4 knots
to give the best response in a tack.
A deadband of 2 knots is incorporated to prevent oscillation of
HI/LO settings when vessel is travelling at the transition speed.
1
HI response
2
LO response
3
Transition to HI parameters with decreasing speed: 8kn
4
Transition speed set to 9kn
5
Transition to LO parameters with increasing speed: 10kn
Active response parameter set is shown in the autopilot popup and
the following abbreviations are used:
