Press the AUTO/NAV to select AUTO mode (AUTO
indicator is lit). The autopilot automatically selects the
current boat heading as the set course.
NAV mode can not be selected from the FU50. This is a
safety feature to avoid hazardous rudder commands. When
NAV mode is selected on the AP50 or AP51, the NAV
mode indicator on the FU50 is pulsating.
When AUTO-WORK or NAV-WORK mode is selected on
an AP50 or AP51, the WORK indicator is lit in addition to
the appropriate mode selected.
When an AP50 autopilot system is connected to a thruster
you can select the thruster function from FU50.
Press the FU/STBY button and the AUTO/NAV button
simultaneously to select thruster function. The thrust
indicator will light correspondingly. Switch off the thruster
function by a new simultaneous press on the FU/STBY and
AUTO/NAV buttons.
When a rudder command is given from the FU50, the
thruster will also remain active if it already was selected
from another unit.
In AUTO and NAV mode the thruster is not used, and the
thrust indicator will pulsate.
When the FU mode indicator is lit,
set the required rudder angle by
moving the follow-up lever or
turning the knob to the wanted
rudder angle. The rudder will move
and stop at the set angle. (Maximum
command is equal to the maximum
angle minus 2° set at the rudder
feedback calibration in the AP50
Dockside menu.)
