2. STEERING MODES
2-35
2.12 Safe Helm Mode
The safe helm mode, available with the Accu-Steer FPS 12V/24V drive unit, tempo-
rarily switches the NAVpilot to manual steering for the specified time interval when the
helm is steered in an automatic steering mode (AUTO, NAV, etc.). This prevents con-
tinued turning of the helm. The mode and course indications flash when the safe helm
mode activates.
The safe helm mode is deactivated and the previous automatic steering mode is re-
stored in the following situations:
NAV mode: When the data from helm sensor is not input for the set time on [Return
Delay]*.
AUTO, WIND mode, etc. (except NAV mode): When cruising straight ahead and the
data from the helm sensor is not input for the set time on [Return Delay]*.
*: See “How to set the safe helm mode” on the next page to set [Return Delay].
