1. PRINCIPLE OF THE AUTOPILOT 1.1 Principle of Autopilot An autopilot is an automatic device for steering a vessel and maintaining its heading in an intended direction. Boat and ship operators can really appreciate the advantages of the autopilot – It steers the boat for you so that you are free to carry out navigational checks, trim adjustments, etc. or to simply relax and enjoy the ride. The NAVpilot-500 autopilot utilizes a proportional rate system to steer the boat. This system is

1. PRINCIPLE OF THE AUTOPILOT 1.2 Principle of Operation In the AUTO modes, the heading information from a heading sensor is continuously compared with the course that is set on the autopilot’s controller. (in the NAV mode, the course to the waypoint is received from a plotter connected to the NAVpilot-500). With the boat on course, these two signals are equal. If the boat drifts off course, the difference between the primary heading and the set course will change proportionally and the

3. STEERING MODES 3.2 AUTO Mode 3.2.1 Using the AUTO mode The NAVpilot-500’s AUTO mode steers the boat automatically on a course set by the operator. Note: The AUTO mode will not compensate for the effects of wind or tide, which can push you off course in the athwart ship direction. Use the AUTO mode for short, straight voyages. Otherwise switch to the NAV mode which is described on page 3-4. 1. Direct the boat to the intended course desired. 2. Press the [AUTO] key to activate the

3. STEERING MODE 3.2.2 ADVANCED AUTO mode AUTO mode will maintain a set course, but your vessel’s course may be shifted by the effects of current or wind. ADVANCED AUTO mode maintains a set course while compensating for the effects of wind and tide. Note that your NAVpilot-500 must be connected to a (GPS) which outputs own ship’s position data (L/L) in NMEA0183 format to the NAVpilot-500. In the ADVANCED AUTO mode, the NAVpilot-500 will calculate your course based on your present posit

3. STEERING MODES 3.3 NAV Mode 3.3.1 Starting the NAV mode If a destination waypoint is set on a GPS / Plotter, the NAVpilot-500 can receive this information and guide the boat to the destination waypoint as determined by the plotter. To use the NAV mode, complete the following steps. Note: It takes 5 seconds to activate the NAV mode after the NAVpilot-500 receives the above information. 1. Set the destination waypoint (or route) on the plotter. 2. Manually steer the boat towards th
