MULTI CONTROL

steer your boat so that the display readout is 0.00 NM, which means you are on the desired track.

8.3Steer reference (Pilot)

The sub-function (Pilot) is intended to be used together with the optional analogue instrument steer pilot (Art. No. 20550-2) to assist the helmsman to keep the desired heading.

The powerful combination of the Multi Control instrument together with the analogue steer pilot actually offers you 6 functions.

Compass steering: (MEM)

1.Compass steering, using the 1 memory.

2.Headers and lifters, using the 2 memories and trim button. (See 9.3)

Wind steering: (AWA)

3.Close hauled indicator, ex. 35°

4.Down wind indicator, ex. 175°

Waypoint steering:

5.Bearing To waypoint (BTW)

6.Course To Steer (CTS), including set and drift

When a steer reference has been selected the analogue steer pilot instrument is immediately activated. It starts to indicate the difference between desired and actual heading or angle. The logic is to keep the steer pilot instrument needle straight up pointing at zero (0) to stay on the set heading.

From analogue steer pilot instrument version 2.0, (MEM) and (BTW) is functioning with COG (if navigator connected) even if a compass is not installed . The analogue read out will start at speed above 4KTS and stop below 2 KTS.

If you do not have the analogue steer pilot instrument, you can still use the function, if you display the selected steer reference heading (STR) in the sub-function and compare it with the actual compass heading in the main-function.

A NX2 autopilot can not be activated from the steer reference function. But when the NX2 autopilot has been activated in compass or wind mode it is possible to alter the autopilots heading from the (MEM) and (AWA) functions.
