AUTO Mode
Settings that are added for the AUTO and WIND modes are
shown below. Other relevant settings are described under
STANDBY mode in this chapter.
Response
The Autotune function in the AP25 is so refined that 80-85 % of
the boats will need no further adjustments of the steering
parameters. On some boats, however, or at particular sea
conditions a fine tuning of the steering parameters may improve
the performance of the autopilot.
The Response control allows you to make this fine
tuning. It can be set to seven levels. Level 3 (default)
has the values of Rudder and Counter Rudder
parameters set by the Autotune function. If no
Autotune is made (not recommended) the level 3
values are the factory default values.
A low response level reduces the rudder activity and provides a
more “loose” steering.
A high response level increases the rudder activity and provides
a more “tight” steering.
A too high response level will make the boat start S-ing.
Range: 1 – 7
Default: 3
