2.11 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.). After cruising at an-
gular velocity 3° or less per second for the set time, the safe helm mode is deactivated
and the previous automatic steering mode is restored. This prevents continued turning
of the helm. The mode and course indications flash when the safe helm mode acti-
vates.
Note: The safe helm mode is not available with Fantum Feedback
