Chapter 2: Using the Wheel Pilot 25

2 Using the Wheel Pilot

2.5 Using Wind Vane mode

Note: You can only use Wind Vane mode if the wheel pilot is

connected to a suitable wind sensor/instrument providing wind

direction data.

To use Wind Vane mode, the wheel pilot must receive wind

information from one of the following sources:

• SeaTalk wind instrument

• NMEA wind instrument

• Raymarine pushpit wind vane (part number: Z159) connected via

the supplied SeaTalk interface

In Wind Vane mode the wheel pilot maintains a course relative to an

apparent wind angle. The pilot uses WindTrim to eliminate the effects

of turbulence and short term wind variations. This provides smooth

precise performance with minimum power consumption.

Wind Vane mode uses the fluxgate compass as the primary heading

reference. When changes in the apparent wind angle occur, the wheel

pilot adjusts the locked compass heading to maintain the original

apparent wind angle.

In Wind Vane mode, the wheel pilot ignores short-term changes in

wind direction, yet still tracks real wind shifts as subtle as 1°.

Selecting Wind Vane mode

From Standby mode or Auto mode, press STANDBY and AUTO

together to select Wind Vane mode. The wheel pilot will then

maintain the current apparent wind angle.

Note: The autopilot beeps once every 30 seconds in Wind Vane mode.
