Manual Response Set-Up (RESP)
The RESP set-up controls the response of the steering. Different
selections are available dependent on whether the heading source
is from the Halcyon 2000 Compass or a B&G Halcyon Gyro
compass.
Response Settings with Halcyon 2000 Compass
(a) NORM - Normal course keeping and rudder
response (default).
(b) ECON - Economy: the rudder movement is limited,
this reduces the overall power consumption of the
Autopilot System, however there is a slight reduction in
course keeping.
(c) DWIND - Down-wind; the response is changed for
down-wind steering by applying the rudder more quickly.
This allows the Autopilot to hold a better course in
adverse conditions, such as sailing down-wind or with a
quartering sea. However there is an increase in the
power consumption.
Response Settings with B&G Halcyon Gyro
(a) NORM - Normal course keeping and rudder
response (default).
(b) ECON - Economy: the rudder movement is limited,
this reduces the overall power consumption of the
Autopilot System, however there is a slight reduction in
course keeping.
(c) PERF 1 to 4 – The PERF function allows for a manual
increase or decrease of steering response by using the
UP/DOWN arrow keys.
Of the four PERF settings, PERF 1 is the minimum
setting and PERF 4 is the maximum.
