Adjusting performance – Non-G systems
Non-G SmartPilot systems have three different response levels:
• Response Level 1: AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband)
The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat movements and
only react to true variations in course. This provides the best compro-
mise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy
• Response Level 2: AutoSeastate off (Minimum deadband)
This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to increased
power consumption and drive unit activity
• Response Level 3: AutoSeastate off + yaw damping
This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by introducing
counter rudder yaw damping You can adjust the counter rudder setting in
Dealer Calibration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide)
To make a temporary change to the response setting:
1. Display the RESPONSE screen by pressing the resp key
2. Pressthe up arrow or down arrow keysto change the response between
levels 1 to 3.
3. Press disp or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display.
