FOREWORD FI-505 The FI-505 Course Pilot displays heading and course information, and its main features are • Heading and average heading • Locked heading • Course made good • Adjustments for • Heading response • Pointer response • Course made good response •...
FI-501 WIND ANGLE FI-502 CLOSE HAULED WIND ANGLE The FI-501 Wind Angle and FI-502 Close Hauled Wind Angle instru- ments provide precise analog wind angle together with digital speed in- dication, in true or apparent direction. Wind speed is displayed in knots, meters/second or as a Beaufort scale number.
1. FI-501 WIND ANGLE, FI-502 CLOSE HAULED WIND ANGLE Turning the Power On/Off To power the instrument, press the MODE key. All LCD segments go on and off and then the last-used display appears. To power off the instrument, press the MODE and APP/TRUE keys to- gether.
1. FI-501 WIND ANGLE, FI-502 CLOSE HAULED WIND ANGLE Display Layout The FI-501 Wind Angle and FI-502 Close Hauled Wind Angle instru- ments provide analog dial and digital wind information. The display shows that information in true or apparent, depending on mode selected. The pointer shows the true or apparent wind direction.
1. FI-501 WIND ANGLE, FI-502 CLOSE HAULED WIND ANGLE Selecting a Display Press the MODE key to select a display. Each press of the key changes the display in the sequence shown below. Wind speed 12.5 Beaufort wind 13.5 speed TRUE Maximum true wind speed...
1. FI-501 WIND ANGLE, FI-502 CLOSE HAULED WIND ANGLE Displaying Velocity Made Good (VMG) Information VMG is the actual vessel speed after adjusting for such factors as current and wind. Use the VMG key to display and erase VMG information and current dis- play alternately.
1. FI-501 WIND ANGLE, FI-502 CLOSE HAULED WIND ANGLE Alarms There are four conditions which trigger audio and visual alarms: Maxi- mum true wind speed, Low true wind speed, High apparent wind angle, and Low apparent wind angle. 1. Press the MODE key to select desired alarm page, referring to the illustration below.

FI-505 COURSE PILOT The FI-505 Course Pilot provides compass heading, in digital format. In the locked mode, steering error to ±30° deviation of locked course head- ing is shown, with the analog pointer. In the unlocked mode the pointer is set to zero. In the locked mode, the pointer shows course error;...
2. FI-505 COURSE PILOT Turning the Power On/Off To power the instrument, press the MODE key. All LCD segments go on and off and then the last-used display appears. To power off the instrument, press the MODE and ENT keys together. The timer appears and counts down from three seconds to one second, and then the power goes off.
2. FI-505 COURSE PILOT Selecting a Display Press the MODE key to select a display, and the selection changes in the sequence shown below. If no heading data is not available three dashes appear on the digital display. Current heading (or locked heading) 135 °...
2. FI-505 COURSE PILOT Unlocked and Locked Heading Modes In the unlocked mode, the digital display Unlocked heading shows the current heading, true or magnetic, 135 ° and the pointer is at zero. The unit always starts up in the unlocked mode. In the locked mode, the operator sets a fixed (locked) heading, with the arrow keys.
FI-506 RUDDER The FI-506 Rudder displays rudder angle, in analog indication. The pointer shows the rudder position in real time. The instrument’s scale range is -40° to +40° about zero. The FI-506 operates in real time, thus almost no action is required of the operator other than confirming the rudder angle and adjustment of the brilliance.
3. FI-506 RUDDER Turning the Power On/Off To power the instrument, press the [ ] key. After the pointer moves to current rudder angle, release the key. To power off the instrument, press and hold down the [ ] key until the backlight goes off.
