Operation

 

A selection of standard settings is then automatically entered into the memory. The standard settings will make the autopilot steer, but not to its best performance on all vessels. They should therefore be checked (See “Selection of parameter settings”, page 6-2).

If you prefer not to check the settings yourselves, enter the AUTO mode and consult your Simrad Robertson dealer when back in port.

Only if Watch alarm function is enabled. Ref. “Watch alarm”, page 5-37.

WATCH ALARM

PRESS RES BUTTON

The watch alarm warning signal is repeated every four minutes as long as AP45 is in Auto, Work or Nav mode and is reset by pressing Alarm reset button.

If you want to permanently disable the watch alarm function:

Press the hidden button above the + button entering Debug mode and then press the WEATHER button repeatedly until the information display shows SOFTWARE/RUNTIME. Press the DECREASE (-) button repeatedly (six times) until the display shows DATA FAILURE - CHECK SETTINGS. Press the ALARM RESET button and the Watch Alarm function is disabled.

Note!

This procedure is considered as a “Master reset” of the AP45 and you must therefore check all settings described under “Selection of parameter settings”, page 6-2or consult your Simrad Robertson dealer when back in port.
