Drive voltage (V)
Sets the drive voltage to the type installed on the vessel 12 or 24V
Drive engage
Drive engage has the following settings: Auto and Clutch.
Clutch:
This is the default setting and it allows you to steer the boat from the helm when in Standby
mode. A clutch will be engaged on the drive unit locking out the steering when Auto is
selected.
Auto:
This setting is implemented for future use. Always use the Clutch (default) setting.
Motor output
The Motor output (displayed as a percentage) is the amount of available power needed
to achieve correct rudder speed on automatic steering (Maximum speed is used in NFU
mode). This setting will allow you to adjust the rudder speed to be diff erent from the one
automatically set in the rudder test.
Rudder deadband
The rudder deadband function is adaptive and is continuously updating. It prevents the
rudder from hunting and the adaptive function optimizes the deadband to the speed of the
boat and the load on the rudder.
¼ Note: If the auto-setting does not perform properly due to high inertia from the wheel, it can
be adjusted manually.
Find the lowest possible value that will prevent the rudder from continuous hunting. A wide
deadband will cause inaccurate steering. It is recommended to check rudder stability in Auto
mode when the boat is moving to get pressure on the rudder.
Manual deadband
If rudder deadband is set to manual then you can make manual adjustments to the deadband
value
Rudder feedback
Set the rudder feedback type.
¼ Note: It is important that you select the relevant rudder feedback unit via source selection.
