PART 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The h2000 Autopilot fully integrates with, and complements the

Hydra 2000, Hercules 2000 and HS2000 instrument systems, both

in terms of style and performance. The instrument system

transmits sensor information via the B&G Fastnet Data cabling to

the Autopilot Computer Unit.

The Autopilot Computer processes the sensor data and then

sends signals to the rudder driving system (linear ram, rotary drive

or hydraulic pump) to steer the vessel on the desired course. The

complex learning algorithms (a form of artificial intelligence) used

in the Autopilot Computer, ensure that the steering performance is

optimised regardless of the weather conditions, and quickly

responds to any changes that may occur.

Control of the Autopilot is via the keys on any one of the dedicated

Autopilot displays. Each display acts as a master allowing control

of the Autopilot from any station.

The h2000 Autopilots are available with a wide range of powerful

and reliable 12V or 24V dc rudder drive units suitable for boats of

over 7m (23ft). The control electronics (the Autopilot Computer)

are supplied as ACP1 or ACP2 (Advanced Control Programming)

depending on the size of vessel, power requirements and options

that have been selected and fitted.

The h2000 Autopilot can be used for both sail and powerboats that

have a Hydra 2000, Hercules 2000 or HS2000 System installed.

If the relevant sensor data is available, the Autopilot offers the

following Steering Options:

(a) Steer to Compass - Uses data from the Autopilot

Gyro or Instrument Compass to maintain the selected

compass heading.

(b) Steer to Wind - Uses data from the Instrument

Masthead Unit (not powerboats) to steer to the Apparent

Wind Angle.

assistance.

1.2 AUTOPILOT OPERATION

Part 2 - Operating Information describes how to operate the h2000

Autopilot after it has been installed, commissioned and sea trials

have been successfully completed. Information relating to

calibration, commissioning, and installation are given in Parts 3

and 4 of this Manual, respectively.

WARNING - NAVIGATION HAZARD: The Autopilot must be

fully commissioned and a satisfactory sea-trial completed

before the Autopilot is used to steer the vessel. Failure to do

so could endanger life and/or other vessels.

1.3 CONTROLLING THE AUTOPILOT

The Autopilot Display is the primary method of controlling the

Autopilot. Several displays positioned around the vessel allow

Autopilot control from any station. Each display acts as a Master

providing readouts of autopilot course, actual heading and

autopilot function. Operational control is via a keypad.
