S1 Wheel and Tiller Pilots Commissioning Guide
Drive type
The drive type setting controls how the SmartPilot drives the steering system. The
drive type should be set when commissioning the SmartPilot (see
page 22
).
Align rudder
Use this setting to calibrate the rudder bar display. This is usually set as part of the
commissioning process (see
page 23
). This screen also appears in the Seatrial
Calibration grouping.
Rudder limit
Use the rudder limit screen to set the limits of the rudder control just inside the
mechanical end stops. This will avoid putting the steering system under
unnecessary load. You should adjust this setting when commissioning the
SmartPilot (see
page 23
).
Rudder gain
Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the SmartPilot will apply to correct
course errors. The higher the setting the more rudder will be applied.
• TillerPilot (and Gyro upgraded WheelPilot) systems will adjust the rudder gain
automatically during AutoLearn (see
page 28
).
• WheelPilot systems (without the Gyro upgrade) will require manual adjust
ment of rudder gain (see
page 32
).
