Chapter 5: Commissioning the Autopilot

WARNING:

All new autopilot system installations MUST be calibrated.

If you have connected the RayPilot 650 to a newly installed
course computer autopilot system, you must commission the system
This involves a series of dockside checks and then the seatrial
calibration:

Note: Before completing the procedures in this section, complete the
‘Post installation checks’ described in the drive installation guide.

5.1 Dockside checks

With the boat safely tied up, complete the following dockside checks:

1. Switch on.
2. Check the SeaTalk and NMEA connections.
3. Check the autopilot operating sense.
4. Set the basic autopilot parameters.

WARNING:

For safe control of your boat, you MUST complete the dockside
checks before starting the initial seatrial.

Step 1 - Switch on

1. When you have installed the RayPilot control unit and the rest of

the autopilot system, switch on the main power breaker.

2. If the control unit and system are active, the control unit will beep

and then display the

STANDBY

screen.

3. Check that the

STANDBY

screen displays a live compass heading.
