Involves hazards or unsafe practices which could result

WARNING in severe personal injury or death
■ OPERATION
● Misoperation and/or malfunction of the system due to the damage to its components
may cause an accident. Severe damages to human life and the environment as
well as damages to the ship may result.
● Complete understanding of the characteristics of the system, of its capability and
limitations are required. Become familiarized with operations and pay utmost atten-
tion when using the system.
● Each steering mode has individual cautionary points for operation. Pay attention to
the explanations, cautions and warnings listed in the corresponding chapters.
● Watch the heading and surroundings around your ship. Unexpected obstacles may
cause accidents.
● When thunder/lightning occurs, do not touch metal parts or the power switch as there
is a danger of getting an electric shock by inductive lightning.
-2-
■ EMERGENCY OPERATION
● Familiarize yourself with the emergency operation and be able to perform it smoothly
when emergency conditions should happen.
● If malfunction of the system should occur, slow down the ship and set the operation
mode to STBY (Manual) to steer the ship with the manual helm pump.
■ REMOTE MODE [REM] (remote control)

● Keep watching the heading when using the portable controller PT-10C.
● Before selecting [REM] mode, make sure all the controllers connected to the system
(PT-10C and DTX-10) are set at neutral positions. If all the controllers are not set at
neutral positions, the ship may make an unexpected turn when the mode is changed
over to [REM] mode and this may cause an accident.
● When an alarm sounds, confirm its cause immediately. If the abnormality affects the
remote control of the ship, change to the [STBY] mode.
■ AUTOPILOT MODE [AUTO]
CAUTION
CONNECTION OF OPTIONAL BEARING DEVICE FOR AUTOPILOT
● The autopilot controller/amplifier APi-800M uses the bearing sensor MMS-30 or
MMS-200 as standard.
● The APi-800M can also be connected with optional bearing device; such as,
GPS compass, electronic compass or Gyro compass along with the bearing
sensor MMS-30 or MMS-200.
● When an optional bearing device is connected, priority of autopilot bearing is
given to the optional bearing device.
● To be noted is that when using an optional bearing device, it should be used
for autopilot after output of optional bearing device is stabilized. Output of
optional devices will take some time before stabilized. Gyro compass will
take a long time before statically determinate. GPS compass may take
about three minutes or may be more before statically determinate.
WARNING
1) DO NOT TURN ON THE POWER OF OPTIONAL BEARING DEVICE while sailing in the
autopilot mode using the bearing sensor MMS-30 or MMS-200.
The autopilot reference bearing is changed from the bearing sensor MMS-30 or
MMS-200 to the optional bearing device which is not statically determinate
when it is turned on. The vessel may be controlled toward unintended head-
ing direction or meandering due to swing of bearing.
2) DO NOT TURN ON THE CONTROL/AMPLIFIER APi-800M IN THE AUTOPILOT MODE if
the optional bearing device is turned on simultaneously.
Turn on the APi-800M in the standby mode and set to the autopilot mode after
the optional device is statically determinate.
-3-
● When the Option Terminals and NAV Terminals are not used, the heading bearing is
detected by the Pick-off Sensor MMS-30 mounted on the magnetic compass or by
the Electronic Compass MMS-200 in the [AUTO] and [NAV] modes.
● Do not leave magnetized material near the compass, MMS-30 or MMS-200. Bearing
accuracy of the compass and sensor will be affected and this may cause unex-
pected turns of the ship.
● Rudder Gain and Weather should be adjusted depending upon the ship’s cargo load,
speed and sea conditions.
● When the ship is sailing very slowly and the operation mode is changed to autopilot
mode, she may not be able to keep the autopilot heading course. Watch the
heading bearing closely and steer as necessary.
● Watch the surroundings when changing the heading while in Autopilot mode. Until
the course change is completed, watch the movement of the ship. Take safety
measures if necessary.
● A watchman is always required.
■ NAV AUTOPILOT MODE [NAV]

● In the [NAV] mode, the ship is steered according to the signals from the navigation
device connected to the NAV terminals. Position accuracy is dependent upon the
numbers and positions of the satellites receivable and the accuracy of the navigation
device. Please note that the ship does not sail exactly on course as she is affected
by winds and sea conditions.
● Depending upon the adjustment of Rudder Gain/Weather and accuracy of the
magnetic compass, deviation from the intended sailing course may become tens of
meters.
● Navigation Aided Autopilot will not locate obstacles on the heading course. A
watchman is always required and utmost attention should be paid.
■ MAINTENECE SERVICE
● In the course of maintenance, pay extra attention not to touch the moving steering
gear when getting in the steering gear room.
● Use proper fuses when replacing them. Use of improper fuses may cause damage
to the device and cause a fire.
■ FOR INSTALLATION
● Use the correct DC voltage. Do not use alternate currents or non-specified DC
power sources. Using a wrong power source may cause fires, electric shocks and/or
damage to the system components.
● Do not strain or scratch the cables. Damaged cables may cause fires or electric
shocks.
● Components such as, Controller/Amplifier, Pick-off Sensor, Electronic Compass and
Solenoid Valve Unit, are not watertight. Do not let the components get wet. Fires or
electric shocks may result. Should the component get wet, turn off the power switch
and inspect it promptly.
-4-
Involves hazards or unsafe practices which could result
CAUTION in minor injury or product or property damage
■ OPERATION
● Do not hit the portable controller against the wall or floor as it may break.
● Do not start the engine after switching on the DC power to the system. It may cause
a malfunction due to a sharp drop of DC voltage.
■ ADJUSTING AUTOPILOT FUNCTION

● Rudder Gain and Weather should be adjusted according to the ship’s cargo load,
speed and sea conditions.
● Study the setting of the functions including Rudder Gain and Weather in everyday use
in order to select optimum settings for your ship.
■ USE OF PORTABLE CONTROLLER WHILE IN NAV MODE

● The Portable Controller can be used to change the heading course temporarily in the
NAV AUTO mode. Be aware that the ship may make a sharp turn to go back to the
preset autopilot heading course when the Portable Controller is reset to the neutral
position after a course change.
■ ALARM
● When the alarm sounds, check the cause immediately and repair the cause if nec-
essary.
● When service is required in the open sea, confirm that conditions around the ship are
safe and perform the work after stopping the ship.
■ INSTALLATION
● Do not install components at locations:
･ wet by rain or sea water splash
･ hard to service for inspection and maintenance
･ under direct sunlight and/or high heat
･ near severe vibration
● Install the Solenoid Valve Unit so that the solenoid valve is aligned to the horizontal
plane.
● Turn off the power switch during wiring work.
● Confirm the terminal marks and mark tubes of cables when making connections.
● Fix the screws and connectors securely.
● Adjusting the volumes of the circuit board may be required while the DC power is on.
Be careful not to short circuit.
● To avoid radio interference, install the Controller/Amplifier apart from any radio
communication device.

5. PORTABLE CONTROLLER / DIP switch setting for narrow operating angle
WARNING
To change the setting, turn off the power of Controller/Amplifier APi-800M.
When using a portable controller of other brand which has narrower operating angle
than the Marol standard portable controller, change the setting of the DIP switch SW6 of
the circuit board as shown in the figure below. The numbers 1 and 2 of the DIP switch
SW6 correspond to the connection ports of portable controllers 1 and 2.
CAUTION
● Factory setting of the DIP switch SW6 is OFF for all the switches 1, 2, 3 and 4.
● For the version 1.02 and up, ｢REMOTE 3｣ is used only for Marol standard controller.
● The number 3 and 4 switches are for Multi Controller Function (All Select/Auto Select)
and High Rudder Gain Ratio respectively. Refer to page 34 for Multi Controller Func-
tion and page 41 for the Scale Change of Rudder Gain.
z By setting the switch ON makes the steering control for a portable controller with nar-
rower operating angle and setting it OFF makes the steering control for the Marol stan-
dard portable controller PT-10C.
☞ NOTE
A portable controller of narrower operating angle is meant that its operating angle is
about 80% of the Marol standard portable controller PT-10C which has 40 ﾟ operating
angle each side. Using a portable controller which operating angle is less than 80% of
the Marol portable controller will not operate full steering angle of the steering gear. On
the other hand, using a portable controller of wider operating angle makes the steering
gear stops at hard-over position before the portable controller reaches its full operating
angle, causing overheat of solenoid valve and hydraulic oil, resulting system malfunction.

Depending upon the location, the Amplifier/Controller may be affected by radio interfer-
ence. The cables of autopilot and radio communication device should be laid apart as far
as possible.
When the autopilot is interfered by a radio communication device, in most cases it appears
as a change of ship’s heading. So, when the radio communication device is used and
ship’s heading changes; that means the autopilot is under radio interference.
To avoid radio interferences;
● Make as much distance as possible between the radio antennas and APi-800M,
MMS-30/Compass or MMS-200.
● The cables of autopilot and radio communication device should be laid apart as far as
possible.
● Do not install APi-800M near the coaxial cable of the antenna to the radio device.

Ⅶ. OPERATION
1. OPERATION MODE
Four operation modes are provided:
(1) [STBY] MODE (Stand-by): Steer the ship manually by operating the helm pump. Push
button control is also available in this mode.
(2) [REM] MODE (Remote Steering): Steer the ship by the Portable Controller PT-10C
and/or DTX-10. Maximum of three portable controllers can be used.
(3) [AUTO] MODE (Autopilot):
● The ship is steered automatically by receiving signals from the bearing sensor MMS-30
or the Electronic Compass MMS-200, Gyro compass or GPS compass to keep the
predetermined set bearing.
● Changing the heading bearing can be done by the steering dial of the Portable
Controller PT-10C. The mode is changed from AUTO to REM. When the dial is reset
to the neutral position, the auto pilot function is restored to the new heading bearing.
☞ NOTE
The function of Portable Controller is different when Dragnet Function is effective.
For the explanation, refer to Ⅶ. 2-3 (3) Dragnet Function on page 36.
● ECO AUTO: When GPS compass or navigation device is connected and receives
position data of GGA or GLL, APi-800M calculates cross track error and sets a virtual
destination course and controls the ship along its line correcting drifts caused by
tidal current and wind. For details, consult with our staff.
(4) [NAV] MODE (Navigation Aided Autopilot): This autopilot mode uses the signals from
GPS navigation devices such as GPS receiver and video plotter. By setting the des-
tination waypoint, the ship will automatically keep the intended course; correcting
drifts caused by tidal current and wind.
2. OPERATION PROCEDURE

(2) Function of Multi Controllers

Two types of control method are available; ALL SELECT and AUTO SELECT.
① ALL SELECT (Factory setting)
Total of three portable controllers can be used simultaneously. Note that the
rudder movement becomes the sum of three controllers if three controllers are
connected.
[Example] When one controller is turned to port 10 ﾟ and another controller is
also turned 10 ﾟ to port, the rudder is moved 20 ﾟ to port. Then the third con-
troller is turned 10 ﾟ to starboard, the rudder moves back to 10 ﾟ to port.
② AUTO SELECT (Select by DIP switch setting)
Only one of the three controllers has a command and taking over of com-
mand by another controller is done automatically by setting its dial to the
same dial position of the controller now in command.
[Example] The No.1 controller has a command now and its dial is set at 10 ﾟ to
port. To take over the command by the No.2 controller, turn its dial to 10 ﾟ to
port first. Now the No.2 controller takes over the command and operation by
the No.2 controller can be continued.

(2) Setting of New Autopilot bearing while in the [AUTO] mode (two methods)
(Without Dragnet Function)
① Using Portable Controller PT-10C
Turn the dial of PT-10C more than 5 ﾟ to Turn the dial more than 5 degrees
cancel the present autopilot bearing.
The operation mode is changed from
[AUTO] to [REM]. The mode display
[AUTO] stays lit and [REM] blinks. Bring
the ship’s heading to a new bearing
and reset the dial of PT-10C to the neu-
tral position. After about one second,
the operation mode goes back to
[AUTO] mode and the ship is under
autopilot for the new bearing.
② Using the Bearing Dial
New autopilot bearing can also be set by the
Bearing Dial. Confirm that the Portable Con-
troller is set at the neutral position, and then
turn the Bearing Dial. The numbers on the
bearing display blinks and changes. Turning R. GAIN NAV BEARING
clockwise makes starboard turn and turning TRIM

(3) Selecting Dragnet Function of Portable Controller (Selectable function)
This is the same function as AUTO-B of

CB-88GPS. The Controller-1 con-
nected to the ｢REMOTE 1｣ terminal
works as a bearing setter in the [AUTO]
mode. Operable bearing change is 0 ~ - 75 ﾟ 0 ~ +75 ﾟ
±75 degrees from the present auto-
pilot bearing.
CAUTION
● Steering mode stays in the [AUTO] mode and this dial movement does not
cancel the originally set autopilot bearing. So, when the ｢Controller 1｣ is re-
set to the neutral position, the heading goes back to the preset autopilot
bearing. Head turning speed is decided by autopilot setting (fixed).
● Controllers 2 & 3 cannot be used in this case.
● The dial of Controller-1 has to be moved more than 5 degrees to activate the
function.

① In the NAV autopilot mode, the ship’s

heading can be changed by turning Turn the dial more than 5 degrees
the dial of PT-10C controller more
than 5 degrees. The operation
mode is changed from [NAV] to
[REM]. The mode display [NAV]

② When the dial of PT-10C is reset to the
neutral position, the operation mode
goes back to [NAV] mode after one
second.
CAUTION
The operation by PT-10C will steer the ship but it does not cancel the set destina-
tion waypoint. Be aware that the ship may make a sharp turn to bring the ship
back to the set course when the dial of PT-10C is reset to the neutral position.
3. REFERENCE BEARING
3-1. PRIORITY OF REFERENCE BEARING
① The APi-800M uses bearing signals of
both the device connected to the

MINAL on pages 25-26) Back-up
② In the above case, MMS-30 or Priority
MMS-200 functions as a back-up to
GPS Compass or Gyrocompass.
③ When the bearing signals from the
option terminals become abnormal,
the APi-800M selects the bearing sig-
nals input from MMS-30/MMS-200
automatically after 5 seconds.
Either GPS compass, Gyrocompass or
Bearing Sensor MMS-30/MMS-200 can
be used independently.

2-2. WEATHER
When sailing on rough seas, the ship yaws too frequently. If the rudder is moved to
correct deviation of this kind, the rudder action becomes too frequent and this is not
good for the steering system. The weather adjustment is provided to adjust the devia-
tion sensitivity of autopilot for optimum rudder actions. Setting the value larger makes
the sensitivity lower (widening the dead zone) and setting it smaller makes the sensitivity
higher (narrowing the dead zone).
② Press either [+] or [-] key to select the adjusting item [WEATHER].
③ The present setting is shown in the bearing display area. The figure shown below
has the present setting of [2].
④ To change the setting, press [ENTER] key first. The display [WEATHER] blinks. Then,

2.3 COUNTER RUDDER (Meeting Rudder)

When steering the ship to the desired bearing with manual steering, an experienced
operator may steer the rudder opposite to the turning direction of the ship at certain
point before reaching the desired bearing to decrease the ship’s turning inertia so as
not to go beyond the intended bearing. In the autopilot mode without the counter
rudder (meeting rudder) function, the ship may cross the intended course and then try
to get back to the intended course by opposite rudder actions. This makes the ship
meander along the intended heading course. The adjustment of Counter Rudder
should be made by considering the ship’s size, cargo load, turning speed and sea
conditions, etc.
① Turn the C. RUD (COUNTER RUDDER)

even though the PT-10C is set at its neutral and the rudder at the center position. The
neutral position of the Portable Controller or the rudder position of the ship sailing
straight can be adjusted. This is also a very important function even sailing under
autopilot and should be adjusted as often as necessary.
① Sail the ship while setting the portable

controller at its neutral position. Set all
the controllers at the neutral position if
connected more than one.
② To adjust the neutral position, turn the

dition around you.
2-8. Dead Zone Adjust

Dead zone means a non-active span of rudder action against the command signal of
the Portable Controller. When the ship is operated under the REMOTE mode, so
called “hunting” or “chattering” vibration of the rudder may occur. This phenomenon
can be eliminated by reducing the electric sensitivity; widening the dead zone.
Making the dead zone smaller increases positioning accuracy, but that may also make
“hunting” or “chattering” of the rudder. Making the dead zone wider decreases the
positioning accuracy. Set the dead zone value for optimum level. Adjustable range
is 1 through 9 and the factory setting is 5.
① Set the operation mode to the [REM].

② Press [SELECT] key and select the item [DEADZONE] by pressing either [+] or [-] key.
③ The LCD shows the present setting. In this case [5].
④ To change the setting, press [ENTER] key. Confirm the display [DEARZONE] blinks.

2-9. Correction of Bearing Sensor

Reading of the bearing sensor may devi-
ate from the reading of the magnetic
compass for certain directions. Deviation
of the bearing sensor can be corrected.
Reference bearing can either be true
bearing or magnetic bearing. The ship
has to sail to make correction of the bear-
ing sensor and it must be carried out in the
clear open sea. Simple correction
method is provided at 8 points; 0, 45, 90,
135, 180, 225, 270 and 315 degrees. Ad-
justable range is ± 15 degrees at each
correction point mentioned above.
As an example, 350 ﾟ is corrected to 0 ﾟ(North).
(The correct bearing is 0 ﾟ, but the bearing display shows 350 ﾟ).
① Set the steering mode to [STBY].
② Bring the ship’s heading to 0 ﾟ (North).
③ Press [SELECT] key and select [BGR CORR] by pressing either [+] or [-] key.
④ Press [ENTER] key. The display [BGR CORR] blinks.
⑤ Then press [+] key. The corrected bearing is entered.
⑥ Bearing corrections for seven other directions are done in the same manner men-
tioned in ① through ⑤ above.
⑦ As the correction finishes, press [ENTER] key once or [SELECT] key twice to make the
system back to the previous operation mode.
☞ NOTE
● Correction can be made repeatedly.
● To cancel the correction, press [-] key for two seconds while the display [BGR
CORR] blinks in the step ⑤ mentioned above.
● The bearing correction is effective only for the bearing sensor. This function does
not work when GPS compass is connected and switch is turned on.
● Correction can only be made when the deviation of the bearing sensor is less than
15 ﾟ on each side of 8 correcting points. If the deviation is more than 15 ﾟ, the
bearing sensor may be damaged or affected strongly by the peripheral magnetic
field.

3. PROPORTIONAL CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE UNIT SPF-PSV-03
With the use of Proportional Control Solenoid Valve, smooth and precise steering perform-
ance is available.
3-1. Features and Operation Mode
OPERATION MODE
① Effective operation modes are REM, AUTO and NAV.
② Precise control of the rudder cannot be achieved under push button control as the
solenoid is electrified at fixed amperage.
FEATURES
◇ Oil flow is controlled proportionally according to the difference of the command
steering angle and the follow-up steering angle. This means that when the differ-
ence between the command angle and follow-up angle is bigger, the rudder mov-
ing speed increases and that when the difference gets smaller the rudder moving
speed decreases with precise control of solenoid valve.
◇ Compared to the conventional solenoid valve unit which has a minimum stepping
angle of 0.9 degree, the proportional control solenoid valve has a minimum stepping
angle of 0.3 degree. Thus, the rudder movement becomes much smoother and the
ship will have better straight sailing.
◇ The proportional control solenoid valve unit can be used in the tandem circuit and
since it adopts meter-in control, the power output is effectively applied to the rudder.
Since the unit has the function of supplying oil pressure according to the load, rise of
oil temperature in the system can be minimized.
◇ The unit also embodies a counter balance valve to have better control of the rudder
against counter forces to the rudder.
◇ The unit has a large margin of controllable oil flow to cope with larger ships.

CAUTION
The adjustments of OFFSET PULSE, MAXIMUM PULSE and GAIN are effective only when
the proportional control solenoid valve unit is used in the system.
● This is the adjustment of the minimum flow rate. The larger the setting value, the
