ComNav Admiral P3 Installation & Operation Advanced Operations
Document PN 29010075 V3.1 - 131 -
Multiple Control Heads & Auxiliary Controllers
Two additional Control Heads or Auxiliary Controllers may be added to the standard
Admiral P3 system. These may be any combination Admiral Control Heads, CR-203
Handheld Remotes, or TS-203 Fixed Remotes.
Only one Control Head or Auxiliary Controller may be In-command at any given time. When
the autopilot system is first powered on, the main Control Head, connected to J11 of the SPU
will always be In-command.
The other Control Heads and/or Auxiliary Controllers are said to be Repeaters. As a
Repeater, the unit simply repeats the display information from the In-command unit, but does
not affect the operation of the autopilot. You can always tell whether a particular controller is
a Repeater because it will display a large letter “R” in the upper right corner of the display.
Command can be transferred from an In-command controller to a Repeater. To do so, press
and hold the PORT and STARBOARD ARROW buttons on the repeater until the audible
alarm beeps and the letter R disappears. The Repeater now becomes the In-command
controller, while the previous controller becomes a Repeater.
Station Lock/Unlock
Setting the Station Lock parameter in the Standby menu to Lock prevents the Repeaters from
being able to take command. When station lock is set to Lock, the image of a key will be
shown in the upper right corner of the display, next to the repeater R.
The key image will either be outlined or filled-in, depending on whether the station lock is for
the main Control Head or an Auxiliary.

The “outline” key icon because you can always take command back with the main Control
head. This unconditional return of command is an important safety feature.
The controller In-command shows a solid key icon. The solid key signifies that all stations,
except for the main Control Head and the controller which is currently In-command, are
locked out.
Controllers that are Repeaters, except for the main Control head, will show the solid key icon,
indicating that they are locked out and cannot take command.
Important! If your Admiral P3 system is equipped with Jog Levers, be
aware that they can be activated any time the autopilot is turned on.
They can not be locked out. Ensure that appropriate measures are
taken to ensure that they cannot be activated by unauthorized persons.
