Using the autopilot | NSS Operator Manual
Using the autopilot
If an AC12, AC42 or SG05 autopilot computer is connected to the system, autopilot
functionality will be available in the NSS.
An Autopilot is designed to maintain an accurate course in various sea conditions with
minimal helm movements.
Safe operation with the autopilot
Warning: An autopilot is a useful navigational aid, but DOES NOT
under any circumstances replace a human navigator.
Switching from automatic mode to manual steering
You can switch the autopilot to STBY mode from any automatic operation mode by a short
press on the STBY/AUTO key.
Note: If the NSS is connected to an EVC system via the SG05, you can take manual control of
the steering irrespective of the autopilot mode. Refer “Using the autopilot in an EVC system”
on page 38.
Activating the autopilot
You can activate the autopilot from any panel as shown below.
The autopilot pop up
You can only enable the autopilot once the pop-up is displayed.
anual adjustments to the set heading can only be made when the
port and starboard indicators are illuminated red and green - this is
done by pressing the rotary knob, or by tapping the autopilot pop-up.
The autopilot popup shows active mode, heading, rudder and various
steering information depending on active autopilot mode.
The pop-up has a fi xed position on the page, and it can be shown on all pages except when
an Autopilot panel is active.
You remove the pop-up from a page by tapping the
in the upper right corner or by
pressing the X key.
Autopilot mode indication in top of the page
Autopilot information is by default shown in top of the pages when the Autopilot pop-up is
not displayed.
You can select to turn this information off .
Compass symbol on the chart panel
You can select to show a compass symbol around your boat on the
chart panel. The compass symbol will be off when the cursor is active
on the panel.
