Simrad AP26 and AP27 Autopilots

Select STANDBY mode and enter the Installation Menu as previously described. Select Dockside by pressing STBD button and confirm by rotating the course knob clockwise.

Boat type

Actual boat type is selected by turning the rotary course knob. The options are: Planing, Displacement and Sail.

Type of boat selected will affect the steering parameters, and the functions available in the autopilot system. Select appropriate Boat type and press STBD button.

Drive unit voltage

Set the drive unit voltage to correct level. The selections are 12V, 24V, or 32V and should be set to the voltage specified for your drive unit.

Refer to the drive unit table on page 58 for information.

The drive engage/bypass clutch output follows the same voltage as set for the drive unit. It is not possible to select a higher voltage than the input voltage.

Note ! Selection of improper voltage level for your drive unit may damage both the drive unit and the autopilot computer even if the protection circuits in the autopilot computer are activated.

During the Rudder Test, the autopilot system will automatically detect whether the drive unit is a reversible motor or a solenoid is operated.

To change the voltage selection, rotate the course knob.

Note ! The drive unit voltage setting does not apply when operating solenoids on a continuous running pump/steering gear. Hence, the output voltage to the solenoids will be the same as the input voltage.

Proceed to next menu item by pressing STBD button.
