BASICTRIPLEPILOT

4.1.6 BASICTRIPLEPILOT, use on pusher boats.

Especially for use on pushers boats the BASICTRIPLEPILOT has the ability to access and use a

second set of parameters to program the processor with. This feature enables the same pilot to

be used for sailing the pusher on its own as well as sail in convoy with barges fixed to the push

boat. In both cases the pilot functions excellent even though the sailing characteristics are quite

different.

Switching from 'single push boat' mode into 'push boat with barges' mode can be done

(depending of the set up on board) by use of the "compass" or "aux" button.

On the display a number of settings to the auto pilot can be changed at will. Depending on

circumstances and sailing conditions adjusting setting is even necessary. The following settings

can be adjusted:

- Rudder

- Trim

- Damping

Rudder: With this setting the reaction time of the rudder movements controlled by the auto

pilot can be adjusted to match the sailing characteristics influenced by the cargo load (depth of

the hull in water). The more cargo is loaded the higher the "rudder" needs to be adjusted. In

case of fast reaction time of the ship to its rudder the "rudder" settings need to be lowered.

When the ship is yawing the value of "rudder" is set to high. When the ships reaction time to a

steering command is to slow the value of "ruder" is set to low and it is possible to hear a course

alarm.

The more light bars occur to the right on the display the higher "rudder" sensitivity is set.

Trim: This setting is used to fine tune zero (sailing straight ahead). Check during a longer

stretch of time if the ship is sailing exactly 0 degrees/min, if not than adjust accordingly. The

range of "trim" adjusting is 4 degrees to either side of zero. To light up a next led bar on the

display one need to push 'trim' 4 times (note: the trim is than adjusted 4 times! With the

amount of led lights fixed in the hardware and range of adjustment needed this ratio was the

only way to cope).

Damping: This setting dampens the rudder movements without influencing long term accuracy

of the pilot system. The readout of the display is not influenced by adjusting the "damping". In

case of heavy swells (waves) or shallow water this setting needs to be increased so that small

swift changes of the rate of turn indicator (gyro sensor) will not affect the rudder as much.

Damping the ROT influence is at its highest when the far right led-light indicator on the display

is lit. When the far left led indicator burns the auto pilot will stir the ship as exact and direct as

possible.
