8.5 Using the set-up wizard
The set-up wizard guides you through the steps for setting
important preferences, such as preferred language and correct
vessel type.
The set up wizard contains 3 steps: language selection, vessel
type and welcome screen. When powering the p70 / p70r for
the first time in an unconfigured system, this set-up wizard is
displayed automatically, and the first 3 steps listed below will
not be required.
With the pilot in Standby mode:
1. Select Menu .
2. Select Set-up .
3. Select Set-up wizard .
4. Select the required language.
5. Select the required vessel type.
The welcome screen will now be displayed and your choices
have been saved.
6. Select OK to complete the set-up wizard.
Vessel hull type selection
The vessel hull type options are designed to provide optimum
steering performance for typical vessels.
It is important to complete the vessel hull type selection as part
of the initial set-up wizard, as it forms a key part of the autopilot
calibration process. You can also access the options at any
time with the pilot in Standby by selecting
MENU > Set-up >
Autopilot Calibration > Vessel Settings > Vessel Hull Type .
As a general guide, select the option that most closely matches
your vessel type and steering characteristics. The options are:
• Race Sail .
• Sail Cruiser .
• Catamaran .
• Workboat .
• RIB .
• Outboard Speedboat
• Inboard Speedboat
• Power Cruiser 1 (<12 kts)
• Power Cruiser 2 (<30 kts)
• Power Cruiser 3 (>30 kts)
• Sport Fishing
• Pro Fishing
It is important to be aware that steering forces (and therefore
rate-of-turn) vary significantly depending on the combination of
vessel type, steering system, and drive type. Therefore, the
available vessel hull type options are provided for guidance
only. You may wish to experiment with the different vessel hull
type options, as it might be possible to improve the steering
performance of your vessel by selecting a different vessel type.
When choosing a suitable vessel type, the emphasis should be
on safe and dependable steering response.
Important: If you change the vessel type after completing the
Dockside calibration process (using the Dockside wizard), all
commissioning settings will be reset to default settings, and
you will need to complete the Dockside calibration process
again.
8.6 Dockside calibration
The dockside calibration process must be completed before
your SPX autopilot system can be used for the first time. The
Dockside wizard guides you through the steps required for
dockside calibration.
The Dockside wizard contains different steps depending on
whether you have a rudder reference transducer fitted to your
vessel:
The following Dockside wizard
procedures only apply to vessels
without a rudder reference
transducer:
• Drive Type selection.

• Rudder Drive check.
The following Dockside wizard
procedures only apply to vessels
with a rudder reference transducer:
• Drive Type selection.
• Align Rudder (rudder alignment).
