1-1 1. PRINCIPLE OF THE AUT OPILOT 1.1 Principle of A utopilot An autopilot is an auto mat ic device for steering a vessel and m aintaining its heading in an int ended direction.
1. PRI NCIPL E OF THE A UTO PI LOT 1-2 1.2 Principl e of Op eration In the AUTO modes, the heading inf orm ation from a heading sensor is continuousl y compared with the course that is set on the autopilot’s controller . (in the NA V mode, the course to t he waypoint is received f rom a plotter connected to the NA Vpilot-500).
2-1 2. BASIC OPERA TION 2.1 Operating Con trols Course control knob** Rotate: Selects menu items and options. Push: Sets the course on Auto or Nav mode. POWER/BRILL key Long press: Turns power off. Mormentary press: Turns power on; opens the display for adjustment of brilliance and contrast.

3-1 3. STEERING MODES The NA Vpilot-500 system is capable of six primary steering m odes: STBY (manual), AUT O, NA V , TURN, REMOTE (F U and NFU) and DO DG E. 3.1 STBY Mode After turning on the power , the equipment goes to the ST BY mode. This is a manual st eering mode.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-2 3.2 A UTO Mode 3.2.1 Using the AUT O mode The NA Vpilot-500’s AUTO mode steers t he boat automat ically on a course set by the operator . Note: The AUTO mode will not com pensat e for the effects of wind or tide, which can push you off course in the ath wart ship direction.
3. ST EERING MODE 3-3 3.2.2 A D V A NCED AU T O mode AUTO mode will maintain a set course, but your vessel ’s course may be shifted by the effects of current or wind. ADV ANCED AUT O mode m aintains a set course while com pensat ing f or the effects of w ind and tide.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-4 3.3 NA V Mode 3.3.1 S t arting the NA V mode If a dest inat ion waypoin t is set on a GPS / Plotter , the NA Vpilot-500 can receive this inf orm ation and gui de t he boat to t he destination waypoint as det e rm ined by the plotter .
3. ST EERING MODE 3-5 3.3.2 Selecting sailing method of NA V mode W hen your vessel goes off course while navigating bet ween the origin ( previous waypoint) and your current destination waypoint because of a rem ote control command, etc. the NA V mode uses one of two met hods to get back on course: COURSE or XTE.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-6 3.3.3 Sw itching wa y point W hen you arrive at a waypoint on a route while in the NA V mode, you can switch to the next waypoint autom atically or m anually . The AUT O setting will automat ically switch to t he next destinat ion way point when yo ur boat is within the arrival alarm area (set on the plott er).
3. ST EERING MODE 3-7 3.3.4 Selecting the boat’s steering behavior af ter arriving at your destination w a y point The “Fishing m ode” can be enabled and set up control your boat ’s steering behavior after it reaches the last waypoint in a route.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-8 3.4 TURN Mode The [TURN] key provides the various t urning mot ions depending on t he m ode in use. There are five different turn type; 180º or 3 60º turns (for AUTO mode only), ORBIT , SPIRAL and FIG URE EIGHT . All turn type are available in cloc kwise and counterclockwis e direction.
3. ST EERING MODE 3-9 180º TURN (for A U TO mode only) This function changes t he current set course by 180º in the opposite d irection. After the 180º turn completely , the message “TURN CO MPLETED” appears. Return to the AUTO mode by pressing the cour se control knob.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-10 ORBIT W hen ORBIT is enabled, your boat will orbit ar ound the boat ’s current position. If ORBIT is enabled while in t he NA V m ode, the boat orbits around the (last ) waypoint. This function requires a pl otter or G PS be connected.
3. ST EERING MODE 3-1 1 5. Rotate the course control knob t o select " ◄ ORBIT" or "ORB IT ► ", and then press it. The message “ST AR T TO T URN BY FISHING MODE” appears, and the b oat runs for the distance se t at step 3, and then s tart s making an o rbit similar to the figure on the previous pa ge.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-12 SPIRAL The boat will spiral in the direction of current heading (STBY), set course (AUTO) or the course to the next waypoint (NA V) that was active at the m oment that the SPI RAL mode is select ed. The radius of the “spiral” can be set in the menu.
3. ST EERING MODE 3-13 5. Press the [TURN] key to show the T URN m enu. 6. Rotate the course control knob t o choose “RADIUS O F ORBIT”, and t hen press it. The current value is circumscribed wi th a double rectangle. 7. Rotate the course control knob t o set the spiral speed.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-14 FIGURE E IGHT After the boat has traveled t he distance "d" set on t he menu, it starts turning in a figure eight pattern, aut omat ically returning to t he position where the f igure eight mode was initiated. The “d” is set on menu as RADIUS OF ORBIT .
3. ST EERING MODE 3-15 Naviga ting to T LL point W hen TLL (T arget Latitude and Lo ngitude) data is input f rom a radar or echo sounder connected in t he STBY , AUTO or NA V mode, t he TURN menu appears. Then, you m ay choose how to progress towards that position, fr om ORBIT (port direction, starboard direct ion) or FIG URE EIGHT .
3. ST EERING MODES 3-16 3.5 REMOTE Mode Four types of opt ional remote cont rollers may be connected to t he NA Vpilot-500. These are used to oper ate the Navp ilot - 500 f rom a remote location. Dial t ype remote contro ller (F A P-5551, 55 52) This remote controller can onl y be used when in the STBY , AUTO or N A V m ode.
3. ST EERING MODE 3-17 The FU is one of auto s teering modes, which outputs an absolu te value determined with the course control knob to drive the rudde r , thus changing the ship’ s course at a given r ate of change towards a set point.. 2. Rotate the dial on the re mot e controller to set t he rudder angle.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-18 Button (F AP-621 1, 621 2), Lever (F AP-6221, F AP-6222), Dodge (F A P-6231, 6232) type remote controller These controllers m ay be used in the STBY , AUTO and NA V modes. 1. For button and lever t ype remote controllers, turn on the remot e controller power .
3. ST EERING MODE 3-19 2. For button and dodge r em ote controllers, press t he [PO RT] or [STBD] key on the remot e controller . For the lever t ype, position the lever f or the direction. Operating remote cont roller (ex. button and lev er types) 3.
3. ST EERING MODES 3-20 3.6 DODGE Mode The DODGE m ode is useful in situat ions where you need t o quickly take control of the helm to avoid an obstruct ion. 3.6.1 Dodging in STBY mode 1. Press the [PO RT] or [STBD] key down to steer appropr iatel y until the boat finishes t he turning.

4-1 4. MENU OPERA TION Most settings are carrie d out in the m enus. The items shown in each menu depend on the mode in use. F or the STBY mode the com plete m enu is shown. W hen the m enu is accessed while in either the AUTO or NA V modes, only the m enu item s that are most frequent ly used in those modes are sho wn.
4. MENU OPERA TION 4-2 4.1.1 Setting p arameters The P ARAMETER SETUP menu sets various paramet ers for the control of t he NA Vpilot -500. 1. In the STBY mode, press the [MENU] key to open the ST BY mode m enu. 2. Rotate the course control knob to select “P ARAMETER SET UP”.
4. MENU OPERA TION 4-3 3. Rotate the course control knob t o select FULL-AUTO, SEMI-AUTO, MANUAL-CALM, MANUAL-MODERA TE or MANUAL-ROUGH as appropriat e, and then press t he course control knob.

4. MENU OPERA TION 4-5 WEA T HER W hen the sea is rough, the boat’s heading f luctuates t o port and starboard. If the rudder is driven very oft en to maintain the set course, t he helm mechanism may wear out. T o prevent this, the weather adj ustm ent makes the NA Vpilot-500 insensit ive to minute course deviations.
4. MENU OPERA TION 4-6 Set rudder gain so that t he boat does not m ake f requent yaw . The figure sho wn below provides general guide lines f or setting rudder gain.
4. MENU OPERA TION 4-7 Adjusting the sensi tivity in moni toring the bo at’ s tri m The NA Vpilot-500 continuall y m onitors the boat’s trim in order to keep t he trim sensitivity optimum . A lower setting is comm on because boat’s trim usually does not change quickly .
4. MENU OPERA TION 4-8 When towing a net W hen a boat is in tow of the fishing gear , its stern is “dragged” by the net. This causes the boat to stray f rom its intended course. T o keep the boat on course, you need to adj ust the trim manuall y , which can be bot hersom e.
