About the SC 110 Autopilot
The SC 110 autopilot uses multisensor technology and operation
modes to provide steering control for any type of vessel. The
control head provides graphic and numeric readouts of the
course, heading, and rudder movement. If a wind sensor is
installed, the apparent wind will be displayed in Wind mode.
There are many available operation modes which allow you to
bow target, choose turn patterns, tack and gybe, or navigate a
route from an optional-purchase Humminbird® Multi-Function
Display. The autopilot system requires specific optional-purchase
accessories to enable each of the operation modes. Contact our

Test the Autopilot
Using the Autopilot
After an authorized marine technician has installed the control
head and equipment, configured the control head, and then
tested all equipment, the autopilot may be used in open water.
Operation Modes: Introduction
The autopilot has several operation modes that allow the autopilot
to steer the vessel. Operation modes are also determined by the
optional-purchase equipment connected and enabled in the
autopilot system. You will learn how to apply each operation
mode on the following pages.
WARNING!
Do NOT leave the autopilot unattended while it
is steering the vessel. Watch for obstacles and
potential hazards at all times. Be prepared to
respond to changing conditions and take manual
control of the vessel as required.
WARNING!
As you choose a new operation mode or type of
navigation, the autopilot may make adjustments
to the vessel’s heading to successfully navigate
the vessel. The vessel may turn automatically, and
booms on sailboats may change direction quickly.
It is important to monitor transitions and be
aware of your surroundings.
WARNING!
If the autopilot is not following commands, or the
boat makes sudden, unpredictable movements,
press the STANDBY/POWER key to take manual
control of the vessel. Contact an authorized
technician (CMET or MEI) or our Customer
Resource Center to confirm the installation and
autopilot settings. If erratic behavior persists,
remove the power to the CPU.
24
Operation Modes
The autopilot navigation modes are briefly described here.
Proceed to Navigate with the Autopilot for more information.
Standby: (Press the STANDBY/POWER key) During
Standby mode, the autopilot is not controlling the
vessel. Be prepared to control the vessel manually
before initiating Standby mode.
Auto: (Press the AUTO/TRACK key) Auto mode uses a
compass to navigate towards the set heading. You can
also choose a turn pattern and tack (with an optional-
purchase wind sensor) in Auto mode. A compass must
be connected to the autopilot system. See Bow
Targeting for more information.
Auto-Track: (Press and hold the AUTO/TRACK key)
Also known as True Course, Auto-Track mode uses a
Humminbir GPS receiver to navigate. It is more
accurate than Auto mode because it compensates for
wind and drift to keep the vessel on a straight line
course towards the heading you set. A GPS receiver
must be connected to the autopilot system. See Bow
Targeting for more information.
Nav: (Press the NAV/TURN key) Nav mode allows you
to enter a route on an attached Humminbir Multi-
Function Display or chartplotter. The autopilot will
follow the route or any changes you make from the
MFD. The MFD overrides the autopilot control head in
this operation mode, so the ARROW keys and Rotary
Knob are unavailable in Nav mode. A chartplotter and
Humminbir GPS must be connected to the autopilot
system.
Follow Up: (Press and hold the Rotary Knob) Follow Up
mode allows you to steer the vessel with the autopilot
control head’s Rotary Knob. The Rotary Knob controls
the vessel’s rudder position from Follow-Up mode.
Wind: (Press the NAV/TURN key twice) Wind mode
allows the autopilot to detect the apparent wind across
the bow of the vessel. You can set the wind angle, as
well as tack or gybe from Wind mode. A wind sensor
must be connected to the autopilot system.
25
Operation Modes
26
Multisensor Technology
Multisensor Technology
Your SC 110 Autopilot uses multisensor technology. Several
sensors can be connected to the autopilot system, and you can
select the active sensor. The attached sensors also determine
which operation modes are available on the autopilot system. The
Gyronav Rate Sensor is always active when it is attached to the
system.
Multisensor Icon: When an M is displayed above the active sensor
icon on the screen, Multisensor mode has been enabled.
In Standby mode, the autopilot will automatically switch to the
best available sensor. The autopilot will use the magnetic compass
and Gyronav Rate Sensor at low speed (under 4 kts), and it will
use the GPS receiver and Gyronav Rate Sensor at high speed
(over 4 kts).
In Auto, Auto-Track, Nav, and Wind mode, the active sensor is
displayed on the screen, but the active sensor does not switch
automatically. If you initiate an operation mode while the vessel is
traveling slower than 4 kts, then the compass sensor will be used
even if the speed is increased. To use the GPS receiver as the
active sensor, travel above 4 kts in Standby mode, and then
initiate the desired operation mode.
Magnetic Compass Icon with
Multisensor Enabled or Disabled
Indicates
Multisensor
enabled
Magnetic
Compass
only
NOTE:
If a black-out of the GPS receiver occurs, the
autopilot will maintain the set course by using the
compass as back-up.
Sensor Alarms: If a sensor is unavailable, the system will display
an alarm. For example, if the vessel is traveling slower than 4 kts
in Auto-Track mode, the GPS icon will flash on the screen to
indicate that the GPS COG (Course Over Ground) is not as
accurate as the compass. In this case, you should switch to Auto
mode.
See Control Head Configuration: Input Installation Settings to
enable Multisensor mode.

automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some European Union member states,
these vehicles are considered outside of the scope of the Directive, and EEE
for those applications can be considered excluded from the WEEE Directive
requirement.

must not be disposed of with other household refuse. It must be
disposed of and collected for recycling and recovery of waste EEE.
Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. will mark all EEE products

member states. For more information about where you should dispose of your
waste equipment for recycling and recovery and/or your European Union
