Preface - JRC Alphatron Marine Mode Switch 3 Pos Operation Manual

Preface

The Alphatron AlphaPilot MFM system is a type approved heading control system, designed to fit
vessels of any size, including high speed crafts.
The Mode Switch 3 Pos is part of the AlphaPilot MFM system and is used to select the steering
control mode.
Redundancy is achieved by using a 2 separate CAN busses (1 for manual FU steering and 1 for
automatic steering) and hardwired contacts (from the NFU Tiller directly to the steering control
valves).
Switching from automatic steering to manual FU steering (and vice versa) is only possible by changing
the position of the Mode Switch.
