Standby mode
Standby (STBY) mode is used when you steer the boat at the helm.
• Switch the autopilot to STBY mode from any operation by a short press on the STBY/AUTO
key.
Non-Follow Up (NFU, Power steering)
In NFU mode you use the port and starboard arrow buttons in the autopilot pop-up to
control the rudder. The rudder will move as long as the button is pressed.
• Activate NFU mode by selecting the port or starboard arrow button in the pop-up when
the autopilot is in STBY or FU mode.
You return to STBY mode by a short press on the STBY/AUTO key.
Follow-up steering (FU)
In FU mode you use the rotary knob to set the rudder angle. The rudder will move to the
commanded angle and then stop.
• You select FU mode from the autopilot menu
Ú Note: If the autopilot pop-up is closed or if an alarm dialog is activated on the Zeus 2 unit
controlling the autopilot in FU mode, the autopilot will automatically change to STBY mode.
Warning: While in FU mode you cannot take manual control of the
wheel. You return to STBY mode by a short press on the STBY/AUTO key.
AUTO mode (auto compass)
In AUTO mode the autopilot issues rudder commands required to steer the vessel
automatically on a set heading.
• You select AUTO mode from the autopilot menu. When the mode is activated, the autopilot
selects the current boat heading as the set heading.
Changing set heading in AUTO mode
You adjust the set heading by using the rotary knob or the Port/Starboard arrow buttons in
the autopilot pop-up.
An immediate heading change will take place. The new heading will be maintained until a
new heading is set.
Heading capture
When the vessel is turning in AUTO mode, an instant reset of the mode activates the heading
capture function. This will automatically cancel the turn, and the vessel will continue on the
heading read from the compass the very moment you re-activated the mode.
