Introduction

This manual should only be read in conjunction with the associated electric amplifier

(C-Drive MCU) or autopilot control unit (AP4/AP9).

The AP55 Display is the main control panel used in conjunction with a C-Drive

Steering amplifier to form an AP55 Autopilot System. It provides the means to fully

control the autopilot system, indicating in different modes heading, course to steer and

rudder angle.

When factory configured as a remote display (Part # AP55REM), it can be used as a

second control station for the AP55 Autopilot only.

In addition the standard display (Part # AP55HEAD) can be used as a second station

control for TMQ autopilot models AP4 and AP9.

System configuration

An AP55 Autopilot system comprises the following minimum units: -

Essential Electronics:

AP55 Display.

C-Drive motor control unit

Rudder feedback unit.

Fluxgate compass or E-compass

Drive unit, for example

-Hydraulic system with solenoid valves.

-Reversing hydraulic pump system.

-Mechanical motor drive system.

System Overview

The AP55 Display head utilises the C-Drive assembly and provides full control of the

autopilot, indicating in different modes heading, course to steer and rudder angle.

The C-Drive assembly is housed in a rugged black aluminium case and requires a

supply voltage of 12 or 24 volts DC.

The rudder feedback unit (RFU) is attached by linkage to the steering tiller device in

such a way that it can accurately measure the movement of the ship’s rudder and is also

electrically connected to the C-Drive unit.

The compass detects magnetic heading of the vessel and is connected to the C-Drive

assembly.

The rudder actuator (drive) system provides the physical movement to the rudder

responding to the direction control signals provided by the C-Drive system. Rudder

actuator systems may comprise any of the following: -

1. Hydraulic ram controlled by either: -

Solenoid valves fitted to an existing power steering system.

Solenoid valves connected to a continuous running pump set.

Hydraulic reversing pump unit connected into an existing hydraulic steering

system.

2. Mechanical reversing drive unit with reduction gears to drive the steering system.

3. Linear actuator either hydraulic or mechanical connected to a steering tiller (or

quadrant).

Definition of Terms

AP55 Display:

The Operation unit, with LCD Display and pushbuttons.

C-Drive Assembly:

The Electric Steering control amplifier; this houses the main processor and

steering circuitry.

AP55 Display Ver 8.2 SS226 of 24 23/01/2011

Rudder Feedback Unit (RFU):

This provides the required rudder position information for steering control.

Rudder Feedback Unit Standard (RFUS)

Rudder Feedback Unit Heavy Duty (RFUH)

Remotes:

This is a collective term for a control device which are normally mounted in a position

remote from the main control display. Each of these function in similar ways, but differ

in appearance. Remotes include:

Electric helm

Steering lever (FFU)

Jog lever (NFU)

Hand remote

Active remote

Rudder Angle Indicator (RAI);

Displays the current rudder position.

Heading:

The magnetic heading of the vessel at the current time.

Course-to-steer:

The magnetic heading which the autopilot is attempting to achieve.

Waypoint Steering.

When interfaced to a GPS the autopilot is able to steering along a route pre

programmed into the GPS.

NMEA Heading

The autopilot is able in accept heading data from an external source (eg: GPS

compass or E-Compass) in NMEA 0183 format

Overview of Operation

Operation of the display unit buttons or mode selection on a remote unit will select one

of the possible steering modes in the C-Drive amplifier. It is the C-Drive, which

generates signals to the steering motor.

The following is a brief list of the capabilities of the autopilot. Each is described in

more detail in a separate chapter.

MANUAL Mode: “H***”

The autopilot Display Unit shows the current magnetic heading.

The vessel is under manual steering control; the autopilot will not apply any

steering control.

AUTO Mode: “A***”

The autopilot will maintain your vessel on any desired magnetic course. This

course can be set from the Display Unit.

GPS Mode: “A***”

When receiving information from a GPS unit, the autopilot can steer a vessel to a

precise latitude and longitude, or through a sequence of latitudes and longitudes.

RUDDER and RESPONSE Settings:

These customise the AP55 Autopilot for your vessel’s steering.

They may also be used to adjust for varying sea conditions.

COMPASS CALIBRATION:

The AP55 compass can be calibrated on the vessel using a simple procedure.

RUDDER ANGLE DISPLAY:

The AP55 Display Unit LCD can be set to display the rudder angle as a numeric

number.

AP55 Display Ver 8.2 SS228 of 24 23/01/2011

BACKLIGHTING:

When using the autopilot at night, the backlighting can be turned on.

REMOTE AUTO Mode: “r *** ”

With a hand remote, panel remote, steering lever or steering wheel station

installed, this will allow steering by compass with the desired course adjustable

from the remote station.

REMOTE POWER STEER Mode: “r *** ”

With a hand remote, panel remote, steering lever or steering wheel station

installed, this will allow control of rudder position from the remote station.

POWER ON/OFF

The power to the C-Drive motor control unit should be via a suitable circuit

breaker. Turning this on will provide power for the C-Drive unit and the AP55

Display Head.

Operation of Autopilot

MANUAL Mode

Display reads “H***”, *** being the current magnetic heading

Drive unit is disengaged,

No steering control is generated.

Possible alarms

No C-Drive alarm “ n r d “

AUTO Mode

IMPORTANT!!

Before entering AUTO mode, rudder should be in the centre position (i.e.: the

vessel is steering approximately straight ahead). If not done, the course steered

will be different to what is displayed.

AP55 Display Ver 8.2 SS229 of 24 23/01/2011

The AP55 Autopilot will select the position of the rudder when AUTO is selected

as the position of the rudder to allow the vessel to steer straight ahead. This can

be an advantage in most vessels when a slight amount of helm from the physical

centre position is required for the vessel to go straight.
