Tillerpilots TP10/TP22/TP32

E04818 Issue 1.0
In the example above (Fig 5.9), there are two nav data sources
(the CP44 Chartplotter and the NMEA GPS via the IS12 Mega
instrument) and two external heading sources (the IS12 Com-
pass and the RFC35R Rate Compass via the AP25 Autopilot).
The Tillerpilot could be used as a backup pilot, while still
retaining the RFC35R as the heading data source. However, the
Tillerpilot may automatically select the IS12 Compass as the
heading data source, and it may select the Mega instrument as
the nav data source instead of the CP44.
If these are not the desired sources, they can be manually con-
figured. Two operation modes are available:
System mode (default) – The Tillerpilot automatically
selects its own data sources, but can be reconfigured to use
another source by a remote device such as a SimNet Chart-
plotter or other command unit.
StandAlone mode – The Tillerpilot automatically selects its
own data source (the first it detects), but cannot be configur-
ed by a remote device.
• To change the mode, first turn off the Tillerpilot.
• To select StandAlone mode, press and hold the TACK and
keys and turn the power on (Fig 5.10).
• To select System mode, press and hold the TACK and
keys and turn the power on (Fig 5.11).
• The Tillerpilot will beep and all the LEDs will light briefly
to confirm the new configuration.

Please refer to the instructions supplied with the relevant
command unit for details on remote configuring of data sources.
Note If there is more than one data source on the SimNet bus, but no
command unit capable of reconfiguring the Tillerpilot present,
the required data source must be the only one present on the bus
when StandAlone mode is selected – power down, or disconnect
any multiple sources until after the operation mode selection
process is complete.
Note Changing the operation mode, or even reselecting the same
mode, will reset any data source selections that the Tillerpilot
was previously locked on to.
Note If any one of the external data sources is replaced, then the
Tillerpilot must be instructed to use the new data source by fol-
lowing the relevant procedure for StandAlone or System mode.
