4. Change-over from automatic to manual steering and vice-versa [IMO MSC.64(67) ANNEX 17]
4.1 Change-over from automatic to manual steering and vice-versa should be possible at any position of the rudder and should
be effected by one manual control within 3 seconds.
4.2 Change-over from automatic to manual steering should be possible under any conditions
including any failure in the automatic control system.
4.3 When changing over from manual to automatic steering the heading control system shall take over the actual heading as
the preset heading.
4.4 There should be a single change-over control which should be located in such a position that it is easily accessible to the
officer of the watch.
4.5 Adequate indication should be provided to show which method of steering is in operation.

Function of Automatic steering (1)
Course monitoring
6.2 Off-
Off-heading alarm
PB343/344 AUTO UNIT
An off-
off-heading alarm ,both audible with mute
function and visual should be provided when
the actual heading deviates from the preset
heading beyond a preset limit.

6.3 Heading monitor


If the ship is required to carry two
independent compasses, a heading monitor
should be provided to monitor the actual
heading information by independent heading
sources.
The heading monitor is not required to be an
integrated part of the heading control system.
An alarm both audible with mute function and
visual should be provided when the heading
information in use deviates from the second
source beyond a preset limit.

Function of Automatic steering (2)
Heading sensor back-

 PT500 series autopilot have two heading input circuits. One is for
for gyrocompass, the other is
for magnetic compass or another gyrocompass, etc.
 Pressing the external compass select key(Aux.
key(Aux. COMPASS) selects an external compass to
determine the control heading during auto steering.

PD control is the shortest course change time
normally used in ocean going.

θ=Alteration angle
Constant rate of turn is convenient L=Ship’s length(m)
V=Ship’s speed(m/s)
for narrow channels, and controls L(m)
