Autopilot setup

Ú Note:
For set up and commissioning of NAC-2/NAC-3 autopilot
computers, see the documentation included with the autopilot
computer.
Verifying the autopilot connection
When a compatible autopilot computer is connected to the unit,
the system automatically detects the autopilot and an Autopilot
menu icon is included in the Settings menu.
If no Autopilot icon is available in the menu, establish the
connection by running the auto select process.
If the autopilot computer is turned off independently of the unit,
the Autopilot menu icon remains available, but only a few of the
menu items are available.
Commissioning the autopilot
Ú Note:
A dedicated physical STBY key is required for
commissioning. This can be on the autopilot control head, on
an autopilot remote controller or a separate standby key.
When the autopilot installation is completed, the commissioning
procedures must be performed. Failure in setting up the autopilot
correctly may prohibit the autopilot from functioning properly.
The setup of the autopilot computers can be done in full from the
unit or from a separate autopilot control head.
The following sections describe how you configure the autopilot
from the unit. If you connect the unit to an already commissioned
autopilot system, you only have to do an automatic source selection
as described above before the autopilot is ready to be used.
