With the introduction of the ,Sperry Marine continues its traditionalphilosophy of designing autopilots with the aim of increasing profit by reducing running costs. The innovative NAVIPILOT 4000 is the first autopilot which uses steering control network technology to control a ship and is capable of tuning itself to adapt automatically to the ship’s load characteris- tics and the prevailing weather conditions, thus reducing operational demands and increasing fuel savings and operational safety. Conceived with the most modern computer tools in accordance with IEC 61162-3 (NMEA 2000), the NAVIPILOT 4000 permanently indicates all information required by the most stringent navigation demands: •Current heading (digital)•Set heading •Override status •Selected heading source •Steering modes AUTO, NAV or TRACK •Parameters for•Rudder limit or •Rate-of-turn or radius (steering mode) •Weather•Preset heading selection •1/10°increments of set heading Additional Displays of:•Load condition •Speed (auto / man.) •Rudder orderor•Actual rudder angleor•Rate of turnor•Cross track error •Off course alarm •Heading difference alarm NAVIPILOT 4000Self-Tuning Adaptive Heading Control System
