not avoided.

Indicates a condition that can cause minor or moderate injury if not avoided.

Warning, Caution

WARNING

Do not open the equipment unless you are well familiar with electrical circuits.

Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.

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

Prohibitive Action

In an emergency, manually steer the vessel.

The autopilot cannot avoid vessels, etc. automatically.

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 correct fuse.

Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or damage the equipment.

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.

Mandatory Action

WARNING

Page 5

CAUTION

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

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:

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.

2.2.2 Advanced AUTO mode

㪘

㪘㪻㫍

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.

2.3 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.

2.3.2 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

How to select NAVpilot steering parameters

Your NAVpilot has two types of steering features for parameter adjustment:

• Automatic adjustment feature: Sets up the equipment according to ship's charac-

teristics and sea state, for optimum performance in the AUTO, NAV and WIND modes.

• Self-learning feature: Adjusts parameters for rudder ratio, counter rudder and auto

trim gains are constantly optimized based on the steering history of your boat, and are stored in memory for future navigation.

[Manual-Rough]: Self-learning is off, using preset parameters for a typical rough sea state.

For normal, everyday operation, the [Full-Auto] mode is recommended. However, if you want the NAVpilot to steer the boat based on experience-related parameters, but you don't want the pilot to be in "self-learning" mode, select the [SemiAuto].

Note: The course keeping accuracy may be decreased if the sea state is different from the experience-related parameters. This option is provided if you happen to be using the pilot in a situation that you do not anticipate encountering again.

Guidelines for how to set [Sea State]

[Weather]: When the sea is rough, the boat's heading fluctuates to port and starboard. If the rudder is driven very often to maintain the set course, the helm mechanism may wear out. To prevent this, the weather adjustment makes the NAVpilot insensitive to minute course deviations. You may choose a degree between 1° to 10°. Until the course deviation exceeds the selected setting, steering to correct the heading will not be initiated.

The illustration at the top of the next page shows boat's track lines with weather setting 3° and 7°. When 7° is set, for example, the rudder is not driven until the course deviation exceeds 7°. Increasing the setting reduces activation of the steering gear, however the boat tends to zigzag. When the sea is calm, set a smaller value.

7°

3°

[Weather] = 3° [Weather] = 7°

[Rudder Gain]: When the boat's heading deviates from the set course, the NAVpilot adjusts the rudder to correct it. The rudder angle (number of degrees) which is steered against every degree of course deviation is known as the rudder gain.

Set the rudder gain so that the boat does not make frequent yaw. The figure shown below provides general guidelines for setting the rudder gain.

Fast

Calm

Light

Speed

Sea State

Load Condition

Slow

Rough

[Counter Rudder]: If the boat is heavily loaded, the heading could change excessively because of inertia. This phenomenon causes the vessel to "overshoot" the intended course. If this happens, the NAVpilot will steer the rudder to the opposite side and the heading will turn in the opposite direction excessively again. In an extreme case the heading oscillates several times until it finally settles in the new course. An adjustment known as "counter rudder" prevents this kind of oscillation.

[Rudder Gain]

4-3

Page 74

4. USER MENU

Counter rudder is usually not required for small boats. When your boat zigzags a lot before settling in the new course, increase the counter rudder setting.

Large course error

Counter rudder: small setting

Counter rudder: proper setting

4.1.2 Trim gain

The NAVpilot continually monitors the boat's trim in order to keep the trim sensitivity optimum. A lower setting is common because boat's trim usually does not change quickly. A large number changes the trim compensation value more frequently. Too high of a setting may result in the following problems.

• Trim sensitivity is over-affected, resulting that a trim appears in both port and starboard directions alternately.

4.3 Net Towing

When a boat is towing fishing gear its stern is "dragged" by the net. This causes the boat to stray from its intended course. To keep the boat on course, you need to adjust the trim manually, which can be bothersome. If you do not want to be bothered with trim adjustments, you can enable the automatic towing function to have the trim automatically adjusted. This feature is useful for trawlers and purse seiners.

This feature can be assigned to a switch box connected to the GENERAL IN port. For details, see section 7.8.
