Adjusting the Acceleration Limiter Settings 1 Enable Dealer Mode (Enabling Dealer Configuration). 2 Select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Autopilot Tuning > Acceleration Limiter. 3 Select an option: • Increase the setting if the autopilot turns too quickly. • Decrease the setting if the autopilot turns too slowly. When you manually adjust the acceleration limiter, make relatively small adjustments. Test the change before making additional adjustments. 4 Test the autopilot configuration. 5 Repeat steps 3-4 until the autopilot performance is satisfactory. Adjusting the Autopilot Gain Settings 1 Enable Dealer Mode (Enabling Dealer Configuration). 2 Select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Autopilot Tuning > Rudder Gains. 3 Select an option based on the type of boat: • If you have a displacement-hull powerboat or a powerboat with the speed source set to None, select Gain and adjust how tightly the rudder holds the heading and makes turns. If you set this value too high, the autopilot may be overactive and attempt to constantly adjust the heading at the slightest deviation. An overactive autopilot can drain the battery at a faster-than-normal rate. • If you have a displacement-hull powerboat or a powerboat with the speed source set to None, select Counter Gain and adjust how tightly the rudder corrects the turn overshoot. If you set this value too low, the autopilot can overshoot the turn again when it attempts to counter the original turn. • If you have a planing-hull powerboat with the speed source set to Tach. - NMEA 2000 or Proprietary or GPS, select Low Speed or High Speed and adjust how tightly the rudder holds the heading and makes turns at low speed or high speed. If you set this value too high, the autopilot may be overactive and attempt to constantly adjust the heading at the slightest deviation. An overactive autopilot can drain the battery at a faster-than-normal rate. • If you have a planing-hull powerboat with the speed source set to Tach. - NMEA 2000 or Proprietary or GPS, select Low Speed Counter or High Speed Counter to adjust how tightly the rudder corrects the turn overshoot. If you set this value too low, the autopilot can overshoot the turn again when it attempts to counter the original turn. 4 Test the autopilot configuration, and repeat steps 2 and 3 until the autopilot performance is satisfactory. Advanced Configuration Advanced configuration options are not available on the helm control under normal conditions. To access the advanced configuration settings of the autopilot, you must first enable Dealer Mode (Enabling Dealer Configuration). Enabling Dealer Configuration 1 From the heading screen, select Menu > Setup > System > System Information. 2 Hold the center key for 5 seconds. Dealer Mode appears. 3 Select Back > Back. If the option for Dealer Autopilot Setup is available on the Setup screen, the procedure was successful. Advanced Configuration Settings You can run the autotune process, calibrate the compass, and define north on the autopilot without running the wizards. You can also define each setting individually, without running the configuration processes. Running the Automated Configuration Processes Manually 1 Enable Dealer Mode (Enabling Dealer Configuration). 2 From the heading screen, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup. 3 Select an automated process: • Select Compass Setup > Calibrate Compass to start the compass calibration procedures (Calibrating the Compass). • Select Compass Setup > Set North to start the procedures to define north (Setting North). • Select Autopilot Tuning > Autotune to start the automatic autopilot tuning procedures (Performing the Autotune Procedure). 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 (Detailed Configuration Settings) prior to modifying any settings. 1 Enable Dealer Mode (Enabling Dealer Configuration). 2 From the heading screen, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup. 3 Select a setting category. 4 Select a setting to configure. Descriptions of each setting are available in the appendix (Detailed Configuration Settings). 5 Configure the value of the setting. Appendix NMEA 0183 Connection Diagrams These wiring diagrams are examples of different situations you may encounter when connecting your NMEA 0183 device to the helm control. NMEA 0183 Connection Considerations • The installation instructions provided with your NMEA 0183 compatible device should contain the information you need to identify the transmitting (Tx) and receiving (Rx) A (+) and B (-) wires. • When connecting NMEA 0183 devices with two transmitting and two receiving wires, it is not necessary for the NMEA 2000 bus and the NMEA 0183 device to connect to a common ground. • When connecting a NMEA 0183 device with only one transmitting (Tx) wire or with only one receiving (Rx) wire, the NMEA 2000 bus and the NMEA 0183 device must be connected to a common ground.
