6 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 AP20
software which contains several test features that will assist you
in isolating a probable fault.
Audible and visual alarms are given in the event a fault is
detected.
The audible alarm is reset by pressing any button (e.g. by
changing mode from AUTO to STBY). The visual alarm will
remain and alternate with the operating display until the fault has
been rectified. Refer to the table below for hints and try to solve
the problem yourself, or consult your nearest Simrad dealer for
assistance.
Perform the repair action in the listed order.
