Understanding Automatic Operation
ATP Response to Normal
Operating States
This section will explain the basic
operating states and the ATP system's
response to those operating states.
During the set-up phase of the
installation, an initial orientation and
three pitch angles were set that are
associated with the vessel. These
are the Rest angle, the Idle angle
and the Planing angle. The ATP
controller will utilize these angles to
help determine the type of operation
that the boat is currently being used
in. For information on the initial set-
up, please refer to page 23.
The Rest angle was set while the
boat was still in the water (Page 24).
The Idle angle was set with the boat
idling at a speed that represents a no-
wake zone speed (Page 24).
The planing angle was set with the
boat up on plane and the trim tabs
down (Page 25).
