WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Turn off the power at the switchboard
before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
Do not set the course changing
speed too high.
The boat will be turned too sharply at
the course change, which could create
a very dangerous situation.
Do not use the autopilot in the
following situations:
- Harbor entrance or narrow channel
- Where vessels change course often,
such as a cape or small island
Do not use the simulation mode on
the boat.
The rudder may move suddenly. This is
a special-purpose mode for technicians.
Do not use the ORBIT mode in rough
seas.
Because the boat turns a 360° circle
around the waypoint, a large wave or
strong wind can cause the boat to
capsize.
Observe the following cautions when
using the autopilot:
- Maintain a vigilant watch
- Watch for drifting of vessel
In an emergency, manually steer the
vessel.
The autopilot cannot avoid vessels, etc.
automatically.
Use the correct fuse.
Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
damage the equipment.
For the figure-eight mode, confirm that
no object is in the general vicinity
of the waypoint.
The distance from the waypoint to the
turning point depends on boat's speed.
Use the proper power cable.
Use JIS type DPY-2.5 or the equivalent.
Other types can cause fire.
When connecting a geomagnetic
heading sensor, correct magnetic field
deviation.
If an autopilot is used without the
compensation, unexpected course change
may occur.
Confirm that no one is near the rudder
when bleeding air from oil cylinder.
The rudder may move unexpectedly,
possibly causing bodily injury.
Set [Remote Controller 1/2] on the
[RC Setup] menu properly according to
remote controller connected.
If not done properly, malfunction may
occur. Especially, take care when
setting the NFU-type remote controller.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Confirm that the power supply voltage
is compatible with the voltage rating
of the equipment.
Connection to the wrong power supply
can cause fire or damage the equipment.
Observe the following compass safe
distances to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass:
Separate the reversible pump at least one
meter from communications equipment,
communications antenna and communications cabling to prevent interference.
In case of power failure, turn off the
autopilot or manually steer the vessel.
Leaving the equipment in the AUTO or
NAV mode during power failure will
cause wear on the rudder mechanism

2. STEERING MODES
This chapter describes the steering modes and functions of the NAVpilot.
2.1 STBY Mode
After turning on the power, the equipment goes to the STBY mode. This is a manual
steering mode. When sailing into or out of a harbor, steer the vessel in the STBY mode
by using the steering wheel (helm) of your boat. In the STBY mode, “STBY“ appears
on the display.
The compass rotates to keep the ship’s heading (gray pointer) at the top of the display.
2.2 AUTO Mode
The AUTO mode steers the boat automatically on a course set by the operator.
The AUTO mode will not compensate for the effects of wind or tide, which can push
you off course athwart in the ship direction. Use the AUTO mode for short, straight
voyages. Otherwise switch to the NAV mode (see section 2.3).

2.2.1 How to get the AUTO mode
To get the AUTO mode, do as follows:
1. Direct the boat toward required course.
2. Press the AUTO key to activate the AUTO mode.
Your boat automatically maintains the current course when the AUTO key is
pressed. When the heading changes from the set course, the NAVpilot automatically adjusts the rudder to return the boat to the set course.
In the AUTO mode, the steering indication at the top left corner of the display
shows “A“.
The compass rotates to keep the ship’s heading (gray pointer) at the top of the
display.
3. To change the course setting in the AUTO mode, rotate the Course control knob
to the required course.
4. To exit the AUTO mode to steer manually, press the key. Steer your boat by
the helm.

2.2.2 Advanced AUTO mode
The AUTO mode keeps a set course, but your boat’s course can change by the effects
of tide and wind. To adjust for the effects of tide and wind, use the Advanced AUTO
mode. The NAVpilot calculates your course according to your current position and
heading, then sets a virtual "waypoint" in its memory to navigate towards. If either tide
or wind begins to push you off course, the NAVpilot corrects your heading accordingly.
For use of the Advanced AUTO mode, connect a GPS navigator which outputs position data (Latitude and Longitude) to the NAVpilot.
To get the Advanced AUTO mode, do as follows:
1. In the AUTO mode, long press the key to show the menu.
2. Rotate the Course control knob to select the current setting for [Advanced AUTO] then push the knob.
[Advanced AUTO] also appears on the [AUTO Option] menu.
3. Rotate the Course control knob to select [ON] then push the knob. The steering
indication at the top left corner of the display changes as below. Select [OFF] to
quit the Advanced AUTO mode.
Note: When the position data is not input, the pop-up message “No Position Data“
appears and audio alarm sounds. Press any key to stop the alarm, then confirm
the connection with the GPS navigator.
4. Press the key to close the menu.
You can switch between AUTO and Advanced AUTO modes by holding down the
AUTO key three seconds to show the message "Advanced AUTO ON (OFF)".
Note: How strictly the Advanced AUTO mode keeps the course depends on the [NAV
Mode] setting in the [NAV Option] menu.

2.3 NAV Mode
NAVpilot steers the vessel towards the current waypoint while compensating for the
effects of tide and wind.
When connected to a GPS navigator, NAVpilot steers the vessel to follow a series of
waypoints in sequence. When you arrive at each waypoint or destination, audible and
visual alerts are activated.
The NAVpilot takes 15 seconds to activate the NAV mode after the NAVpilot receives
the destination information.

2.3.1 How to get the NAV mode
To get the NAV mode, do as follows:
1. Set the destination waypoint (or route) on the GPS navigator or chartplotter.
To navigate a route, make sure that your plotter is navigating towards the nearest
or required waypoint before you put the NAVpilot into the NAV mode.
2. Manually steer the boat toward the waypoint.
3. Press the NAV key.
You are asked if you are sure to navigate to the waypoint selected.
4. Push the Control course knob to start to navigate to the waypoint.
Note: The course reading on the NAVpilot is not always the same as the waypoint direction shown on the chartplotter.
You can switch between nav data sources (for example, one source fails) by pressing
the NAV key three seconds. This feature is not available when [NAV Data Source] is
set to [Both] (at installation).

2.3.2 Sailing method for the NAV mode
Your vessel can go off course between waypoints in the NAV mode. This can occur
when, for example, a command is received from a remote controller. To return to the
course set, three methods are available: [Course], [XTE (Precision)], and [XTE (Economy)].
• [Course]: The NAVpilot calculates a new course according to your new position (after dodging, etc.) that takes you directly to your destination waypoint.
• [XTE (Precision)] and [XTE (Economy)]: The NAVpilot uses the XTE (cross-track error) value to steer the boat towards your ORIGINAL course before dodging. [XTE
(Precision)] provides for tighter course keeping, within 0.01 NM of the set course.
[XTE (Economy)] gives less tighter course keeping, within 0.03 NM of the set
course.
Note: [Course] is not available with Fantum Feedback
