Simrad AP26 and AP27 Autopilots

DisLog

Select the Log source.

Depth

Select the source for depth data.

Course Adjust

When using the (PORT) or (STBD) buttons in AUTO mode, you are changing the set course in 1° increments. If you prefer the increments to be 10° each press (does not apply for sailboats), proceed as follows:

Select Course adjust and turn the course knob to change the setting. The default value is 1°, which is the preferred setting. Select 10° if you want to make major course changes in 10° increments with the buttons and fine-tune the set course with the course knob.

Press the STBY button to leave the User setup.

AUTO Mode

Settings that are added for the AUTO and WIND modes are shown below. Other relevant settings are described under STANDBY mode in this chapter.

Seastate filter

OFF:

Seastate filter is disabled.

AUTO:

Automatically reduces rudder activity

 

and autopilot sensitivity in rough

 

weather by an adaptive process (default).

MANUAL: Manual yaw band adjust (1-10, 10 ≈

±6°).

The manual setting determines the number of degrees the vessel may deviate from the set course before any command is given to the rudder. The AUTO setting is recommended. The MANUAL settings may be used to find the optimum combination of course keeping and low rudder activity in rough but steady sea conditions.
