How to Change Parameters of Setup Codes

Section IV:

Using the Table of Setup Codes on the following pages as a guide, follow the instructions below on how to change any of the factory defaults. Remember-All changes must be downloaded and saved into permanent memory for the changes to take effect the next time the system is turned on.

1. Autopilot must be in heading hold [Auto],[Standby], or [ GPS Track] mode before selection process can start. ( [Auto] LED solid on or [STBY] LED on solid or [GPS Track] LED solid on.)

2. Press and release the [Setup] Button. The [Setup] LED will illuminate to indicate the system is ready to take setup commands (button pushes).

3. Select the Setup Function you want to use by pressing and releasing the buttons labeled 1 through 9 until the appropriate LED’s are lit. (See the Table of Setup Codes and values changes on the following pages)

4. Increase an adjustable parameter one step by each press of the [UP Arrow] button. When the parameter is adjusted to its maximum value, the [Up Arrow] LED will light. The parameter is adjusted and is in use by the autopilot immediately.

5. Decrease an adjustable parameter one step by each press of the [Down Arrow] button. When the parameter is adjusted to its minimum value, the [Down Arrow] LED will light. The parameter is adjusted and is in use by the autopilot immediately.

6. You can stay in [Setup] and adjust more than one parameter.

7. Compass Calibration, and autotune are setup conditions that take the system over. You can get out of compass calibration by turning the power off and can back out of autotune by pressing any button on the remote. Setting compass North will cause the autopilot to turn off after the compass realigns. The button sequences for their operation are given in the table of Setup Codes on the following pages.

8. To view the operating value of an adjustable parameter, enter its code per the Table of Setup Codes, then press and hold the [Select Load] GPS button. The LED on the [Up Arrow] button will blink the number of tens ( or hundredths or thousandths) the parameter is set to and the LED on the [Down Arrow] button will blink the number of ones (or tenths or hundredths) the parameter is set to. For example, if the parameter is set to a current value of 15, the [Up Arrow] LED will blink once and the [Down Arrow] LED will blink 5 times. When a parameter is adjusted to its minimum value the [Down Arrow] LED stays on solid. When the parameter is set to its maximum value the [Up Arrow] LED stays on solid per steps 4. and 5. above. Note: The number of blinks, like 15 in the example, tells you how many steps up from the minimum setting.

9. For temporary use of the adjusted parameters: Press and release the [Setup] button to exit the setup mode.

10. To make the selected Functions into startup defaults (save the changes into permanent memory): Press and release the [Setup] button (the [Setup] LED should be lit), and then press and hold the [Select Load] button. While holding down the [Select Load] button, press and release the [Deckmount] On/Off button quickly, then release the GPS [Select Load] button.
