Using the autopilot | NSS Operator Manual
The autopilot settings panel
The Autopilot settings panel gives access to settings that might be changed by the user
during operation of the autopilot.
For information about installation, see the separate NSS Installation manual.
Auto-hide
Autopilot information is by default shown on
top of the pages when the Autopilot pop-up
is not displayed. You can select to turn this
information off .
Crescent lights
The background lights around the rotary knob can be used to indicate that the NSS is under
autopilot control. When toggled on the lights will be red and green when the autopilot is not
in standby.
When toggled off the lights will follow day/night light setting.
Chart compass
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.
Locking an NSS unit
If two NSS units are included in the system, the non-active NSS unit can be locked to prevent
unauthorized operation of the autopilot.
When the unit is locked this is indicated with a lock symbol and with text in the pop up.
When the lock function is in use, no automatic modes can be selected from the NSS unit.
Note: The lock function is not available on the NSS unit which is active as pilot control!
If the NSS unit is part of an AP24/AP28 system, the unit can be locked from the AP24/AP28
control unit.

AUTO Reduces rudder activity and autopilot sensitivity in rough weather by an
adaptive process. The AUTO setting is recommended if you want to use the
seastate fi lter
