Robertson AP9 Mk3 Autopilot
When "THRUSTER" is selected, the following applies. If "THRUSTER" is
Note !
not selected, continue to "FU/A SCALE".
These parameters determines how the combination of rudder and
thruster is selected. When ONLY THRUSTER or RUDDER &
THRUSTER is selected, two additional parameters are added as
follows (when pressing INFO):
Thruster Deadband
The Thruster Deadband determines how many degrees the vessel
must deviate from set course before a thruster command is given.
Range:
Minimum Thrust
This parameter determines the amount of thrust to be provided when
a thruster command is given. Also refer to page 5-57 for details.
When ONLY RUDDER is selected "PARAM. SET 2" will appear in the
Note !
display. In this way the autopilot can be configured for two sets of
parameters, i.e. Hi speed and Lo speed.
Follow-up scale
As the maximum input current for the follow-up signal (handle hard-
over) is the same, regardless of the follow-up scale, this parameter
must be set in accordance to the rudder deflection in order to match
the corresponding feedback signal from the RF14XU unit.
Range:
5-42
