Chapter 4: SmartPilot X-5R Drive Settings
4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the SPX-5R Drive system calibration settings and the factory
default settings. The calibration settings can be adjusted to best suit your operating
requirements, but as many will have been adjusted to optimum values when
commissioning the system, they should not require further change.
If you change the calibration settings after the SPX-5R Drive system has been
commissioned, you do not need to repeat the commissioning process. However, DO
NOT manually adjust autopilot settings before the commissioning procedures in
Chapter 3 have been completed .
Calibration modes
There are four calibration modes, namely Display calibration, User calibration,
Seatrial calibration and Dealer calibration.
Each calibration mode uses a series of screens to set calibration values.
Display Calibration
The items in Display Calibration affect the SPX-5R Drive system Pilot Controller.
They are stored in the controller and do not affect any other controllers connected
through SeaTalk.
You can adjust the Display Calibration settings as often as necessary – for example,
to add or change information displayed on data pages.
User calibration
The User calibration group includes settings that you may need to adjust on a regular
basis due to changing conditions.
Seatrial calibration
The Seatrial calibration mode is used ONLY when commissioning your SPX-5R Drive
system, as described in
Chapter 3, so is not described again here. Do not access
Seatrial calibration during normal operation .
Dealer Calibration
The Dealer calibration mode includes items that have a significant impact on
operation and can affect your boat’s safety.
After you have completed the initial installation and seatrial, you should not normally
need to alter the Dealer calibration values.
