4.1.4 BASICTRIPLEPILOT, switching between different operating modes

On the control unit (steering lever) are 2 push buttons for choosing different operational modes.

A light indicator shows the selected mode. The following operational modes are available:

- FU/Weg

- Auto

- Compass

- Aux

Fu/weg: In mode "Fu/Weg" (follow up) the rudder blades follow the chosen rudder angle with

the steering lever, regardless of the movements of the ship. This mode will be chosen for

manual maneuvering the ship.

When the ALPHAPILOT MF is turned on this mode is default and can be altered at will into a

other mode.

Auto: Using "auto" mode the ship will follow automatically the selected rate of turn in degrees

per minute.

This means: steering lever in zero position than ship will sail straight ahead. Steering lever

tilted to either side of zero than the ship will turn with a rotation velocity according to the set

lever position to port or starboard site.

Compass: In compass mode the ship will automatically sail the chosen course set by the

heading setter. Another option is connecting the auto pilot to a certified GPS compass.

NOTE: in fact the GPS compass has more or less displaced the Alphacourse (see chapter 3.4)

When a GPS compass is used a heading setter is not necessary, the steering lever will than

function as such.

NOTE: only with recent softwareversion the AUX button can be used for Compass-mode.

Aux: In Aux mode the auto pilot is in standby. Controlling the rudders is taken over by other

means than the auto pilot. Switching to Aux mode is done by handling an external switch, an

indicator light ('aux') on the BASICREMOTE and a ('STBY') indicator light on the display warns

you when the pilot is in standby.

4.1.5 BASICTRIPLEPILOT, control unit – steering lever

When sailing the auto pilot in "follow-up" mode the steering lever is connected directly to the

steering engine/rudder blades. In "Auto"-mode the steering lever is connected to the Rate of

Turn indicator. In "compass"-mode, when in use with Alphacourse, the steering lever has no

function, course is than set with a heading setter. In "compass"-mode, when in use with a

certified GPS compass, the steering lever is needed to set the selected course.

The range of the steering lever around zero position is not completely linear with the motion of

the rudder blades when sailing in "auto"-mode (see below table for details). This enables

steering with more care and precision where this is most appropriate.
