4. セットアップとインストール
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your Simrad autopilot system. Follow these steps carefully.
4.1 インストールの計画
Before beginning, plan the location for each component. Consider cable routing, accessibility for maintenance, and environmental factors.
- NAC-1 Processor: Mount in a dry, protected area, away from heat sources and strong electromagnetic fields.
- PUMP-1 Hydraulic Pump: Install close to the steering cylinder, ensuring easy access for hydraulic line connections and fluid checks.
- POINT-1 GPS Antenna: Mount in a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky (360 degrees horizontally, 10 degrees above the horizon). Avoid mounting near radar, VHF antennas, or other transmitting devices.
4.2 Mounting the NAC-1 Processor
- 適切な取り付け面を選択してください。
- Use the provided template (if applicable) to mark drill holes.
- Secure the NAC-1 processor using the supplied mounting hardware.
4.3 Installing the PUMP-1 Hydraulic Pump
- Ensure the vessel's engine is off and the steering system is depressurized.
- Mount the pump securely to a rigid surface.
- Connect the hydraulic lines from the steering system to the pump according to the diagram in the quick start guide. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
- Bleed the hydraulic system thoroughly after installation.
4.4 Mounting the POINT-1 GPS Antenna
- Choose a high, unobstructed location.
- Secure the POINT-1 antenna using the provided mounting hardware.
- Route the NMEA 2000 cable from the antenna to the NMEA 2000 backbone.
4.5配線接続
All components connect to a common NMEA 2000 network. Ensure the network is properly terminated at both ends.
- NMEA 2000 ネットワーク: Connect the NAC-1 processor, PUMP-1 pump, and POINT-1 antenna to the NMEA 2000 backbone using T-connectors.
- 力： Connect the NMEA 2000 network power cable to a fused 12V DC power source. The NAC-1 processor and PUMP-1 pump draw power from the NMEA 2000 network.
- Steering Feedback: Connect the steering feedback unit (if external, otherwise integrated) to the NAC-1 processor as per the wiring diagram.

4.6 初期電源投入と設定
- Apply power to the NMEA 2000 network.
- Turn on your Simrad multifunction display (MFD) or autopilot controller.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to perform initial setup, including compass calibration, rudder response calibration, and sea trial calibration. Refer to your MFD's manual for detailed calibration procedures.
5. 操作手順
Once installed and calibrated, your Simrad autopilot system is ready for operation.
5.1 基本操作
- 電源オン/オフ: The autopilot system powers on with the NMEA 2000 network.
- スタンバイモード： Press the 'Standby' button on your controller or MFD to disengage the autopilot and take manual control.
- 自動モード： Press the 'Auto' button to engage the autopilot and maintain the current heading.
- Heading Adjustments: Use the +/- 1 degree or +/- 10 degree buttons on your controller to adjust the heading in Auto mode.
5.2つの高度な機能
- NoDrift Mode: This mode maintains your vessel's position over ground, compensating for wind and current. Activate from your MFD.
- ウェイポイントナビゲーション: If connected to a chartplotter, the autopilot can steer to a selected waypoint or along a route. Select the waypoint/route on your MFD and engage 'Nav' mode on the autopilot.
- Turn Patterns: Access pre-defined turn patterns (e.g., U-turn, spiral turn) from your MFD for specific maneuvers.
6. メンテナンス
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your autopilot system.
- ケーブル接続: Periodically check all NMEA 2000 and power cable connections for corrosion or looseness.
- 油圧流体: Check the hydraulic fluid level in the steering system reservoir regularly. Top up with the recommended fluid if necessary. Inspect hydraulic lines for leaks.
- ソフトウェアアップデート: Check the Simrad website for the latest software updates for your NAC-1 processor and POINT-1 antenna. Updates can improve performance and add new features.
- クリーニング： Clean the exterior of the NAC-1 processor and POINT-1 antenna with a damp 布。刺激の強い化学物質は避けてください。
