B&G H5000 Pilot Controller - Manual (Page 5)

Warning: In Standby mode, pressing any of the directional keys will engage the auto-
pilot in Non Follow Up mode!
Mode selection
From Standby mode, pressing the AUTO key once will enter Auto mode. Whilst in Auto
mode, a single press of the MODE key will set the autopilot to Wind mode. Pressing the
MODE key again will revert to Auto mode.
To access other autopilot modes, press and hold the MODE key for 2 seconds. Then
highlight the required mode and press the 1º > key to confirm.
¼ Note: The mode selection menu will time out after a few seconds. Whichever mode
is highlighted at this time will be selected.
Non Follow Up mode
Whilst in Standby mode, pressing any of the Course Control keys will move the rudder
to your desired angle and change the autopilot mode to Non Follow Up.
Non Follow Up mode allows you to control the rudder position manually via the autopi-
lot controller.
¼ Note: The autopilot will remain in Non Follow Up mode until it is disengaged by
pressing the STBY key or a new mode is selected.
Tacking & Gybing in Wind mode
Tacking & Gybing in Wind mode can be performed when sailing with apparent or true
wind as the reference; the true wind angle must be less than 90 degrees (tacking) or
more than 120 degrees (gybing).
The tacking/gybing operation will mirror the target wind angle on the opposite tack
and a tack confirmation window will appear on the display.
