Heading Command Display

The heading command display will be blank if the

heading command function is unavailable. See

Figure 16. The heading command is available

whenever the autopilot is in heading hold (AUTO)

and the display turn rate command is inactive. It

will display a single horizontal bar until the operator

enters a heading command by turning the command

knob. (See fi gure 12)

The heading command starts at the current heading

and either increments or decrements from there

depending on the direction the knob is turned. The

command is limited to ( + ) or ( - ) 180 degrees from

the current heading. The autopilot will immediately

begin to turn to the new course when the command

is entered.

Turn the dial to the right slowly for one (1) degree

increments. Turn the dial left slowly for one (1)

degree decrements. The increment is rate sensitive.

The faster the knob is rotated the greater the

increments.

There are three annunciator displays indicating the

current autopilot mode; AUTO, STBY, and GPS.

AUTO is displayed if the autopilot is actively

steering the vessel. STBY is displayed if the

autopilot is in standby mode. GPS is displayed

if the autopilot is using the navigation data from

the GPS.

There are a series of bars at the bottom of the display

to indicate the command turn rate or the rudder

position. (It will only show the bars for either mode,

not both at the same time.) See Figure 15.
