Simrad ap35 manual

The parameter controlling the rudder response is made accessible for fine tune and is stored for later use. Multistation operation A full function second station or a multistation system is made possible by the Robnet data network. As a safety feature you may from one station disable the other ones from taking control by lock-function.

Simple installation The high technology and well proven software basis of the AP35 makes the installation and sea trial simple and time saving. Software driven menus for dockside setup and interface are operated from the control unit without the need for accurate mechanical line ups and careful checking of signals. Reliability Reliability is what counts after all. The back-up security of a worldwide sales and service network with qualified authorized dealers are other important factors in the quality assurance of our products.

In Rudder Test, the AP35 system will also automatically detect whether the drive unit is a reversible motor or solenoid operated.

Alignment for RF45X Rudder Feedback Unit The purpose of this procedure is to find the zero point and make the feedback unit operate within its active segment. If the unit operates outside this segment there will be a feedback failure alarm. STBD Adjust? The value shown on the display is the value read by the feedback unit before any adjustment is made.

The arrow indicates to which side the rudder is positioned. If the displayed angle is different from the actual angle, set correct rudder angle on the display by turning course selector clockwise to increase the value or counter clockwise to decrease the value.

Page Automatic Rudder Test Activate the automatic rudder test by turning the course selector clockwise. The AP35 will issue a series of PORT and STBD rudder commands and automatically verify correct motor direction, and reduce the rudder speed if it exceeds the maximum acceptable speed for autopilot operation.

The AP35 will always default to the HI speed steering parameters when the system is first turned on, and with speed data failure. Page Interface Settings Interface Settings The AP35 system provides a totally flexible approach to the input of data from heading sensors and other peripheral equipment. Identification of the type of equipment connected to the AP35 system is performed in the Interface Setup Menu.

The AP35 is preset with steering parameters that should steer most boats in the 30 - 50 foot range and Autotune may not be required if the preset parameters steer your boat acceptably.

View parameters For a short time period it is superimposed on the normal rudder response as provided by the Rudder parameter. It may sometimes appear as if it tends to make the rudder move to the wrong side counter rudder. Page Trouble Shooting An autopilot is a complex system and the performance is dependent of a proper installation and a successful sea trial. In the event of a failure, you will be helped by the AP35 software which contains several test features that will assist you in isolating a probable fault.

Check actual current overload exceeds 2,5 Amps 2. Check voltage marking on coil overload or short circuit. It provides you with status information of the different NMEA messages used in the system. It provides you with additional system data that can be useful when testing or trouble shooting the system. Junction Units Escort Ltd.

I have talked with Wharf Rat about replacing with the same one while upgrading the Furuno stuff when time comes so I feel comfortable saying yes it can integrate the but likely ease depends on the controller you have and its NEMA protocol.

BTW when you can find one for sale folks are usually pretty fond of them. Give Wharf Rat a shout. He would likely love to talk to you about electronics given his location and situation. Good luck. Kirby Lieutenant.

Worked very well. Interfaced with my chart plotter via Nema interface.
