It is intended to assist the helmsman and should never be used without state of the art navigation equipment handled by a qualified navigator. - Page 32 From that point the processor uses the data coming from the sensors to control the rudder using the following criteria: - the error to the course to steer, from data coming in from the compass (compass mode) or the wind unit (wind mode). - the boat motion delivered by the gyrometer.

The boat rotation speed measured by the gyrometer embedded in the Gyropilot processor is used to provide this feature. The factory default setting is AUTO. This adjusts automatically with the gain. The setting value ranges from 1 to 9.
- Page 39 Tack speed The speed at which tacks are performed by the Gyropilot can be set from 1° per second to 32° per second. The default setting is 9° per second. Man Over Board The Man-Over-Board function can be activated from any MOB button on a Topline display or a wireless remote control (Gyropilot, Multifonction or Crew) if the MOB function has been set.

Warning: The Auto button engages the pilot and the Stop button disengages the pilot. Make sure the pilot is disengaged before turning the power supply off. Operation with Apparent wind mode The apparent wind mode requires a compass sensor, a boat speed sensor and a wind sensor.
- Page 42 Using the GPS mode In GPS mode the Gyropilot steers the boat to a route provided by the GPS or the navigation software connected to the NMEA input of your Topline system. To achieve this, the GPS or the navigation software must feed the system with the following NMEA sentences: - $xxXTE : cross-track error and - $xxBWC : bearing and distance to waypoint (DTW and BTW) or...
