Response level
This sets the default SmartPilot X system response level setting. The response level
controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/
drive activity. You can make temporary changes to response during normal operation
(see the ST70 Pilot Controller User Reference Guide for details).
1. Use < or > to increase or decrease the setting.
2. Press
ENTER
to accept the new value.
Off course alarm
This screen determines the angle used by the
OFF COURSE
alarm (see your ST 70
Operating Guide). The
OFF COURSE
alarm operates if the pilot strays off course by
more than the specified angle for more than 20 seconds.
1. Use < or > to increase or decrease the setting.
2. Press
ENTER
to accept the new value.
Setting Options
Levels1 to 3
Minimize the amount of pilot activity. This conserves power, but may
compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy
Levels 4 to 6
Should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled turns
under normal operating conditions
Levels7 to 9
give the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and
power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open waters
as the SPX system may ‘fight’ the sea.
