Operation of AP55 Display Head

Buttons or mode selection on the AP55 unit will select one of the
possible steering modes in the Autopilot unit. It is the Autopilot
assembly, which generates signals to the steering motor (whether
mechanical, hydraulic, or other type).
The following is a brief list of the capabilities of the autopilot. Each is
described in more detail in a separate chapter.
• MANUAL Mode: "H***"
The autopilot Display Unit shows the current magnetic heading.
The vessel is under manual steering control; the autopilot will not
apply any steering control.
• AUTO Mode:
The autopilot will maintain your vessel on any desired magnetic
course. This course can be set from the Display Unit.
• GPS Mode:
When receiving information from a GPS unit, the autopilot can steer
a vessel to a precise latitude and longitude, or through a sequence of
latitudes and longitudes.
• REMOTE AUTO Mode:
With a hand remote, panel remote, steering lever or steering wheel
station installed, this will allow steering by compass with the desired
course adjustable from the remote station.
