Simrad AP26 and AP27 Autopilots
4.2Description of Installation Settings
Note ! The installation settings must be performed as part of the installation of the autopilot system. Failure to do so correctly may prohibit the autopilot from functioning properly!
The Installation menu can only be accessed in STBY mode.
The Installation Settings are grouped into the following functional categories:
• | Language: | Selection of language used for display |
|
| information |
• | Dockside: | Items to be set prior to seatrials |
• | Interface: | Setting the format of the clock/data output for |
|
| radars connected to the Autopilot Computer. |
•Display units: Setting the units to be displayed for wind speed, water temperature and depth.
• | Seatrial: | Presents settings and automatic calibrations to |
|
| be performed during sea trial. |
• | Parameters: | Permits viewing and changing of basic |
|
| steering parameters (See also response control |
|
| page 45). |
• | Service: | System data, NMEA data, NMEA test, |
|
| SimNet setup, Master reset of memories. |
Each group is designed to focus on specific functions and enable quick access when changes need to be made.
Some important points regarding the installation settings:
•When the autopilot is delivered new from the factory AND ANY TIME AFTER A MASTER RESET OF MEMORIES HAS BEEN PERFORMED, the installation settings are all reset to factory preset (default) values. The automatic interface prompt will appear (see page 83) and a complete setup has to be made.
•The values that are selected from within the Installation Settings Menu, are stored in the memory of the autopilot system. No specific action is required to "SAVE" the selected values. Once the value is changed, it is stored until the next time the menu item is selected and changed.
