Maintenance
It also is recommended to perform the Automatic tuning steering East or West, as this will yield the best balanced parameters.
Note ! After the Automatic tuning has been completed the rudder must be controlled manually, as the autopilot has returned to STBY mode.
Caution ! The Automatic tuning function will take control of the boat and perform a number of
Activate the Automatic tuning, by rotating the course knob clockwise. The display will flash “Automatic tuning”.
After an Automatic tuning, there should be no need for further adjustments. “Fine tuning” of these parameters are made by the response control (see page 45). However, viewing or changing the parameters can be made from within the Parameters menu item. See also “Recall Autotune” on page 107.
Proceed to the next menu item by pressing the STBD button, or return to Standby mode by pressing the STBY button.
Transition Speed
The transition speed is the speed where the autopilot will automatically change the steering parameter set from HI to LO parameters, or vice versa (page 23).
The default setting of transition speed is 5 kts.
It is recommended that you set the transition speed to a speed that represents the speed where the hull begins to plane, or the speed where you change from slow to cruising speed.
The speed used for the automatic transition is obtained with the following priority:
1.Speed through water from the speed log source.
2.Speed Over Ground (SOG) from the GPS/Chartplotter.
If no speed data is available, manual speed selection is required. See also chapters 2.9 and 2.10.
