NMEA OUTPUT

The NMEA heading output may be selected between HDG
(magnetic) and HDT (true). Some version may also show a SIM
option. This is for factory testing and is not used in an installed
pilot.

REMOTE LOCK

If the Remote Lock is switched on, the system will only respond to a
remote steering attachment when it is in PILOT.

PILOT DISPLAY

Used to select between the two display modes described in Sec 2.3

MONITORS

This gives access to internal performance monitors for use in
factory testing or service personnel. They are not used in normal
operation.

COLD START This option restores the original factory preset parameters in the
autopilot and should be used if there has been some malfunction or If new software has
been installed. When the prompt appears, press the right arrow. After the presets have
been re-loaded, the system returns to the SETUP mode. (See

Sec 2.2).

2.6 ALARMS
The SW AP01 System has a number of alarm functions. When an alarm occurs, the
beeper sounds and an alarm message flashes on the display. To cancel an alarm, press
the STANDBY or PILOT key. This keystroke silences the beeper and removes the flashing
message, but does not change any settings. In many cases, the alarm condition is also
removed. But if the fault is still present, the alarm symbol at the top right of the screen
remains on. In the background, the system periodically attempts to clear the fault. If it
succeeds, the alarm symbol will disappear after 30 seconds.

OFF COURSE

The vessel has been more than 8 deg off course for 30 seconds.
This only operates in the PILOT mode and while the alarm is active,
all other functions operate normally. Cancel it by returning to
course or pressing the STANDBY or PILOT key.

HELM ALERT

In PILOT mode, the helm alert is a safety feature to ensure that the
helm is attended. The interval between alerts can be set via the
menu.
