26. AUTOPILOT OPERATIONS
26-15
Non-follow-up steering mode (Mode selector: NFU) (PR-6000)
The operator sets the steering mode selector to NFU and steers with the Non-Follow-
Up lever. While in the NFU steering mode the ECDIS system displays both the rudder
angle and the steering mode.
Remote hand steering mode (Mode selector: RC) (PR-6000)
When the Mode selection switch mode is
set to RC, the mode becomes RC, not the
selected condition. The steering mode indi-
cator “RC” flashes. The hand steering is in
use while “RC” flashes. (This operation is
like the HAND mode.) At this time you can
switch to the remote steering mode. Press
the Enable switch button while pressing the
Steering location selection switch. The
lamp of the steering location comes on.
(See Note 1.) The state of the steering
mode indicator RC changes from flashing
to lighting.
Note 1: If your RC Selection Unit does not
have the Enable switch button, like the fig-
ure below, press the NAV button to start
the TCS.
Note 2: When you select the RC mode, select "RC" in one motion. Do not stop at any
of the secondary positions on the switch, to prevent loss of the TCS. If the TCS is lost,
first check that the rudder is centered then restore manual steering (HAND) at the au-
topilot. Restart TCS (GoAW) at the ECDIS then reselect RC.
