Note ! If the AP300X is connected to a Nav. receiver that does not transmit a
message with bearing to next waypoint, it will pick a XTE message and steer
on Cross Track Error only. In that case you have to revert to AUTO mode at
each waypoint and manually change set course to equal bearing to next
waypoint and then select NAV mode again.

2.6 Wind vane steering
In order to enter WIND mode the AP300X system must be operating in
AUTO, with valid input from the selected wind sensor. The WIND
function is an alternative function to the NAV function and it is only
available if the system has been set up for SAIL-boat in the Installation
Setup Menu, and NAV source is set to WIND under USER SETUP
menu. (Refer to page 34).
WIND function can only operate when reaching as it is necessary to
have a stable apparent wind. The sails should be trimmed so that the
autopilot easily can steer the boat in AUTO mode and the signal from
the masthead must give a stable signal.
Enter the WIND mode by pressing the NAV/SETUP button.
The pilot will take the apparent wind at the moment the WIND
function is selected and enter it as the set apparent wind. From that
point the pilot will change the course to maintain this apparent wind
as the wind direction may change.
Note ! If the course change to maintain the apparent wind exceeds 15
°
from the
value at the time the WIND mode was selected, a WIND SHIFT alarm will
sound.
The primary display will show the set apparent wind angle.
Adjustments to this set angle can be done by using PORT or STBD
button, or by the rotary course selector.
When NAV button is pressed again the display will change to a
secondary display showing WIND (mode) and rudder angle.
