To Engage Navigator Control; Navigator Errors - Vdo Pilot Control Montageanleitung Und Bedienungsanleitung

While Nav is flashing, press the AUTO key to engage Auto mode under navigator control, otherwise the pilot
will return to its previous setting.
If the Bearing to Waypoint is within 20º of your heading and there is less than 0.05 nautical miles Cross Track
Error, the Pilot will immediately engage Auto mode under Navigator course control.
Bearing and Cross Track Error can be viewed in the Information display.
The Pilot will not engage Navigator Control immediately if the Bearing to Waypoint is greater than
20º of your heading (more than 0.05 nautical miles Cross Track Error) as this would cause a
sharp turn.
In this instance, the press of the AUTO key displays the BWP (Bearing to
bwp 145
The next press of the AUTO key displays the XTE (Cross Track Error).

The third press of the key will engage the autopilot and is likely to cause a sharp turn.
It would be safer to manually steer closer to the course.
Once the Bearing to Next Waypoint and Cross Track Error are at an acceptable value press the AUTO key

to engage Navigator control.

Once the Pilot reaches the waypoint, the Navigator will send it a new Course to steer.
If Automatic Waypoint Sequence is selected, the Pilot will flash the bearing to next waypoint, for 7 seconds,
but turn onto it automatically after the first 2 seconds.
If Manual Waypoint Acceptance is selected, the Pilot will scroll the message n n e e w w w w p p t t p p r r e e s s s s a a u u t t o o for 10
seconds. The vessel will not turn onto the new course unless the AUTO key is pressed.
If the AUTO key has NOT been pressed, after 10 seconds the Pilot will switch to Compass control and con-
tinue on its present heading until Nav is re-selected or new instructions are received.
