SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
Please read these safety instructions before you operate the equipment.
Indicates a condition that can cause death or serious injury if
WARNING
CAUTION
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.
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
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.
Do not use the SIMULATION mode on
the boat.
The rudder may move suddenly. This is
a special-purpose mode for technicians.
Prohibitive Action
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.
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.
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.
WARNING LABEL
A warning label is attached to the processor unit.
Do not remove the label. If the label is missing or
damaged, contact your dealer about replacement.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not
remove cover. No user-serviceable
parts inside.

2.2.2ADVANCED 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.
Your NAVpilot must be connected to a GPS navigator which outputs position data
(Latitude and Longitude).

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.

2.3.2Sailing 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)]. For [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)] both use the XTE (cross-track error) value to steer the boat towards your ORIGINAL course before dodging.
PRECISION provides for tighter course keeping, within 0.01 nm of the set course.
ECONOMY gives less tighter course keeping, within 0.03 nm of the set course.
Note: [COURSE] is not available with Fantum Feedback

the arrival alarm area (set on the chartplotter). When your boat is within the arrival
alarm area, the buzzer sounds for five seconds and the message "WPT WAS
CHANGED" appears.
The MANUAL setting requires operator confirmation (pushing the Course control
knob) before switching to the next waypoint. For manual switching, the NAVpilot
sounds a five-second alarm when the vessel arrives at the destination waypoint. The
message "PUSH ANY KEY TO TURN." appears. Push any key. Then, the message

2.10.2Wind angle mode
There are two wind angle modes: AWA (Apparent Wind Angle) and TWA (True Wind
Angle).
AWA: The boat is steered so that the apparent wind angle is constant. AWA mode requires wind angle and speed data from a wind sensor. Use this mode when wind is
stable.
TWA: The boat is steered so that the true wind angle (in relation to ship’s bow) is constant. This mode requires apparent wind angle, apparent wind speed, your boat's
speed and heading. Use this mode when there is an unstable downwind.

4. HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR NAVPILOT
4.1.1Sea state
Your NAVpilot has an automatic adjustment feature which sets up the equipment according to ship's characteristics and sea state, for optimum performance in the AUTO,
NAV and WIND modes. In addition, a self-learning algorithm is incorporated: 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.
How to select NAVpilot steering parameters
Set how the NAVpilot steers your boat as follows:
1.Rotate the Course control knob to select [SEA STATE] then push the knob.
2.Rotate the Course control knob to select the option which best matches current
sea state then push the knob. For items other than [FULL-AUTO], go to step 4.
[FULL-AUTO]: Auto adjustment and self-learning are on.
[SEMI-AUTO]: Auto adjustment is on, self-learning is off.
[MANUAL-CALM]: Self-learning is off, using the parameter selected for calm sea.
[MANUAL-MODERATE]: Self-learning is off, using the parameters for a typical
normal sea state.
[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, choose the
[SEMI-AUTO] option.Note that the course keeping quality 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.

3.For [FULL-AUTO], set the deviation level as follows:
1) Rotate the Course control knob to select [DEVIATION LEVEL] then push the
knob.
AUTO
LEVEL
2) Rotate the Course control knob to select [AUTO] or[ LEVEL]. For [LEVEL],
you may set a value between 1 and 9. A lower number keeps the course more
precisely but the rudder may be turned more often. With a higher number, the
rudder is fixed, but the course may not be kept as precisely.
4.Push the Course control knob to confirm setting.

4. HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR NAVPILOT
How to manually set NAVpilot steering parameters
When [MANUAL-CALM], [MANUAL-MODERATE] or [MANUAL-ROUGH] is selected
as the sea state, set [MANUAL PARAMETER] as below.
You can set three parameters for the MANUAL function: Weather, Rudder gain and
Counter rudder.
1.Rotate the Course control knob to select [MANUAL PARAMETER] from the [PARAMETER SETUP] menu then push the knob. The display now looks like the one
shown below.
[CALM][MODERATE][ROUGH]
[WEATHER]1°2°3°
[RUDDER GAIN]3510
[COUNTER RUDDER]124
2.Rotate the Course control knob to select the setting of [WEATHER-CALM] then
press the knob.
3.Rotate the Course control knob to set value (0° to 10° for weather).
4.Push the Course control knob.
5.Set [WEATHER-MODERATE], [WEATHER-ROUGH] and [RUDDER GAIN] and
[COUNTER RUDDER] similarly (setting range: 0-10 for weather, 1-20 for rudder
gain, and 0-20 for counter rudder).
6.Press the MENU key to finish.
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.
4-3
Page 72
4. HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR NAVPILOT
The following illustrations show how many degrees the NAVpilot steers the rudder in
order to nullify 4 degrees of course deviation with various settings of the rudder gain.
Rudder gain = 1°Rudder gain = 2°Rudder gain = 3°
4°
Rudder angle = 4° x 1=4°Rudder angle = 4° x 2=8°Rudder angle = 4° x 3=12°
Set rudder gain so that the boat does not make frequent yaw. The figure shown below
provides general guidelines for setting rudder gain.

[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 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.
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.

4.1.2Trim 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.
Note: Trim gain is not available with Fantum Feedback
• Trim sensitivity is over-affected, resulting that a trim appears in both port and star-
board directions alternately.
• Trim compensation mechanism responds to the yawing, resulting in more serious
oscillation of ship's heading.
To automatically set the trim, do as follows:
1.Rotate the Course control knob to select [TRIM GAIN] from the [PARAMETER

4.3Net 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.
[SHIP’S CHARACTERISTICS] must be set for “other than sailboat” to get this feature.
