Calibration Level 11: boat’s current latitude

When you have switched on heading error correction (Level 10), you need to use Calibration Level 11 to input the boat’s current latitude (to the nearest degree).

Set the latitude using the -1, +1, -10and +10 keys.

Note: If the correction is switched off in Calibration Level 10 (i.e. set to ‘0’),Level 11 will be omitted. When you press the auto key in Calibration Level 10 you will advance to Level 13.

Calibration Level 13: rudder damping

Adjust the value in Calibration Level 13 if the tiller drive ‘hunts’ when trying to position the rudder.

you can select 9 stages of rudder damping – initially, this option should be set to 3

if the autopilot is over-active in calm conditions, increase the damping

if the course keeping is not tight enough, decrease the damping

adjust the damping one stage at a time

Controlling access to calibration

You can prevent unauthorized access to calibration as follows:

1.Press and hold -1and standby together for 10 seconds until the display shows CAL OFF:

D214-1

2.Toggle the calibration access between On and OFF using the -1and +1 keys.

3.Store the setting by pressing -1and standby for 10 seconds until the tiller drive returns to normal operation.
