Autopilot
If an AC12, AC42 or SG05 autopilot computer is connected to the system, autopilot
functionality will be available in the NSO-II via OP40 Remote Control.
An Autopilot is designed to maintain an accurate course in various sea conditions with
minimal helm movements.
Safe operation with the autopilot
Warning:
An autopilot is a useful navigational aid, but DOES NOT under any cir-
cumstances replace a human navigator.
Switching from automatic mode to manual steering
You can switch the autopilot to STBY mode from any automatic operation mode by a
short press on the OP40 STBY/AUTO key.
¼ Note:
If the NSO-II is connected to an EVC system via the SG05, you can take manual
control of the steering irrespective of the autopilot mode. Refer "Using the autopilot in an
EVC system" on page 43.
Activating the autopilot
You can activate the autopilot from any panel as shown below.
Autopilot pop up
You can only enable the autopilot once the pop-up is displayed.
Manual adjustments to the set heading can only be made when
the port and starboard indicators are illuminated red and green -
this is done by tapping the autopilot pop-up or pressing the OP40
rotary knob.
The autopilot popup shows active mode, heading, rudder and
various steering information depending on active autopilot mode.
The pop-up has a fixed position on the page, and it can be shown on all pages except
when an Autopilot panel is active.
You remove the pop-up from a page by tapping the
pressing the OP40 X key.
Autopilot mode indication at top of page
Autopilot information is by default shown
at the top of the pages when the Autopilot
pop-up is not displayed.
You can select to turn this information off
via the Auto hide option in the autopilot's
settings menu (only in Standby mode).
Compass symbol on the chart panel
You can select to show a compass symbol around your boat on
the chart panel. The compass symbol will be off when the cursor is
active on the panel.
