Chapter 3: Commissioning & Setup
This chapter describes the commissioning and setup procedures for your Raymarine
SPX-5 Sport system.
Requirement
The commissioning procedures are mandatory
and must be carried out after
installation, before the SPX-5 Sport system is used to steer the boat. The
commissioning procedures comprise a series of dockside checks and setup
procedures followed by a short seatrial.
Additional setup procedures are also provided for you to fine tune your SPX-5 Sport
system for optimum performance with your boat. They are not mandatory and you
may find that you do not need to use them if the SPX-5 Sport system operates to your
satisfaction after commissioning.
When commissioning and setting up the SPX-5 Sport system, use the supplied
ST6002 controller (Pilot Controller):
•
standby
&
auto
select the required operating mode.
•
+1, -1, +10 & -10
initiate course changes.
•
disp
&
track
provide access to extended functions.
Note:
The system is also compatible with ST7002, ST8002, S100, SmartController and ST70
Pilot Controllers.
Rudder reference information
The basic SPX-5 Sport system is supplied without a rudder reference transducer, so
in the basic system, the Pilot Controller display does not show a rudder reference bar
or indicator. However, the SPX-5 Sport system is compatible with the Raymarine
rudder reference transducer, and this can be fitted as an option.
3.1 Commissioning
The commissioning process comprises:
•
Dockside checks & setup.

Seatrial calibration.
