The only way to change from AUTO mode to (AUTO-)
WORK mode and vice versa is on the AP35/AP50 Control
Unit or on the AP51 Remote Contol.
If NAV-, TURN-, DODGE, or WIND modes have been
selected on the autopilot control unit, it will change to
ordinary AUTO mode when the AUTO/NAV button is
pressed on FU50. (WIND mode does not apply to the AP50
system).
The "LOCK" function is a safety feature in the autopilot. In
a multistation system it will disable all other control units
except for the single, user selected control unit location.
The "lock" function can not be activated from the FU50.
When the "lock" function is in use, the "active" control unit
stays in command. The FU50 will not respond when the
buttons are pressed, only the corresponding mode indicator
will pulsate to show the selected mode on "active" unit.
The system can be turned off on the FU50 even if it is
locked (press the FU/STBY button for more than 3
seconds), except in a Wheelmark system.
Lock Function in an AP50 Wheelmark System
At Master operation (Wheelmark) in an AP50 autopilot
system, all remotes are locked at power on. A key icon is
shown on all remote units with a display.
A quick double press on the master control unit
(STBY) button enables the remote units. This is indicated
on the master unit by a flashing crossed key while on the
remotes the key icon disappears.
The remote unit that is first activated takes control. If the
activated remote unit has a display, the other remotes are
locked and units with display show the key icon. If the
activated remote unit does not have a display (R3000X,
FU50, S35) all remote units can be operated until a unit
with display is operated. Then all other remotes are locked.
