If the option for Dealer Autopilot Setup is available on the Setup screen, the procedure was successful. Running the Automated Configuration Processes Manually 1 On a helm control, enable Dealer Mode (Enabling Dealer Configuration on the Helm Control, page 3). 2 Select an option: • On a helm control, from the heading screen, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup. • On a chartplotter, select Settings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup > Autopilot Tuning. 3 Select an automated process: • To start the compass calibration procedures, select Compass Setup > Compass Cal. (Calibrating the Compass, page 2). • To start the procedures to define north, select Compass Setup > Set North (Setting North, page 2). • To start the automatic autopilot tuning procedures, select Autopilot Tuning > Autotune (Performing the Autotune Procedure, page 2). 4 Follow the on-screen instructions. Defining Individual Configuration Settings Manually Configuring certain configuration settings may require you to modify other settings. Review the detailed configuration settings section prior to modifying any settingsDetailed Configuration Settings, page 4. 1 On a helm control, enable Dealer Mode (Enabling Dealer Configuration on the Helm Control, page 3). 2 Select an option: • On a helm control, from the heading screen, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup. • On a chartplotter, select Settings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup. 3 Select a setting category. 4 Select a setting to configure. Descriptions of each setting are available in this manual (Detailed Configuration Settings, page 4). 5 Configure the value of the setting. Detailed Configuration Settings Although all of the configuration is typically completed automatically through wizards, you can manually adjust any setting to fine-tune the autopilot. NOTE: Depending upon the configuration of the autopilot, certain settings may not appear. NOTE: On a powerboat, each time you change the Speed Source setting, you must review the Low RPM Limit, High RPM Limit, Planing RPM, Planing Speed, or Max. Speed settings, where applicable, and you must perform the autotune procedure again (Performing the Autotune Procedure, page 2). Autopilot Tuning Settings On a helm control, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Autopilot Tuning. On a chartplotter, select Settings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup > Autopilot Tuning. Acceleration Limiter: Allows you to limit the speed of autopilot- controlled turns. You can increase the percentage to limit the turn rate, and decrease the percentage to allow a higher turn rate. Speed Source Settings NOTE: Speed source settings are available only for power boats. On a helm control, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Speed Source Setup. On a chartplotter, select Settings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup > Speed Source Setup. Speed Source: Allows you to select the speed source. Verify Tachometer: Allows you to compare the RPM readings on the helm control with the tachometers on the dashboard of your boat. This setting applies to the helm control only. Planing RPM: Allows you to adjust the RPM reading on the helm control at the point when your boat transitions from displacement to planing speed. If the value does not match the value on the helm control, you can adjust the value. Low RPM Limit: Allows you to adjust the lowest RPM point of your boat. If the value does not match the value on the helm control, you can adjust the value. High RPM Limit: Allows you to adjust the highest RPM point of your boat. If the value does not match the value on the helm control, you can adjust the value. Planing Speed: Allows you to adjust the planing speed of your boat. If the value does not match the value on the helm control, you can adjust the value. Max. Speed: Allows you to adjust the maximum speed of your boat. If the value does not match the value on the helm control, you can adjust the value. Rudder Gain Settings NOTE: If you set these values too high or too low, the autopilot may become overactive, attempting to constantly adjust the heading at the slightest deviation. An overactive autopilot can cause excess wear on the pump and drain the battery at a faster-than-normal rate. On a helm control, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Rudder Gains. On a chartplotter, select Settings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup > Rudder Gains. NOTE: These settings apply only to displacement-hull powerboats and powerboats with the speed source set to None. Gain: Allows you to adjust how tightly the rudder holds a heading and makes turns. Counter Gain: Allows you to adjust how tightly the rudder corrects turn overshoot. If you set this value too low, the autopilot can overshoot a turn when attempting to counter the original turn. NOTE: These settings apply only to planing-hull powerboats with the speed source set to Tach. - NMEA 2000 or Proprietary, Tachometer, or GPS. Low Speed: Allows you to set the rudder gain for low speeds. This setting applies when the vessel operates below planing speed. Low Speed Counter: Allows you to set the rudder gain countercorrection for low speeds. This setting applies when the vessel operates below planing speed. High Speed: Allows you to set the rudder gain for high speeds. This setting applies when the vessel operates above planing speed. High Speed Counter: Allows you to set the rudder gain countercorrection for high speeds. This setting applies when the vessel operates above planing speed. Steering System Settings On a helm control, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Steering System Setup. On a chartplotter, selectSettings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup > Steering System Setup. 4 Configuring the Autopilot
