6.2 Calibrating the tiller pilot
Calibration Level 1: Rudder gain
Use Calibration Level 1 to adjust the rudder gain. This must be set when your boat is under way, as described on page 58.
Calibration Level 5: cruise speed
Use Calibration Level 5 to set the boat’s normal cruising speed for operation in Track mode.
When interfacing with a navigation system, the tiller pilot uses the boat’s average cruising speed to perform track calculations.
Note: If a SeaTalk speed instrument is connected, boat speed data will be transmitted directly to the autopilot.
Calibration Level 6: off course alarm angle
Use Calibration Level 6 to set the off course alarm angle. This alarm warns you if the autopilot is unable to maintain its set course.
The off course alarm operates if the autopilot strays off course, by more than the set value, for more than 20 seconds.
You can set the limit in 1° increments between 15° and 40°.
