Before making any adjustments to an SPX-CAN system, ensure the auto-
configuration procedure (see the
SPX_CAN System Installation Guide
) has been
carried out.
Check the rudder bar operating sense as follows:
1. Power up the SPX-CAN system
2. Start the boat engine.
3. Turn the wheel manually.
4. Check that the rudder bar on the controller display follows the helm movement.
If the rudder bar does not follow the helm, ensure the SPX-CAN system wiring is
correct.
Check the steering operating sense as follows:
1. Manually center the wheel.
2. With the boat engine running, press
auto
.
Be ready to press
standby
if the rudder moves hard over.
3. Press the
+10
key once or turn the
rotary control ½ turn
clockwise.
4. Check that the rudder moves to starboard a few degrees, then stops. If the rudder
drives hardover, immediately press
standby
to prevent further rudder movement.
Step 4 - Dealer calibration settings
Introduction
To proceed with the dockside preparation, you need to carry out certain Dealer
calibration setup functions. The exact requirement and consequently the calibration
screens displayed, depend on which SPX system you are calibrating and whether a
rudder reference transducer is fitted, as summarized in the following diagram.
WARNING: Use Dealer calibration correctly
Improper use of Dealer calibration can seriously impair the SPX
system performance and therefore adversely affect the
steering capability. Do not change Dealer calibration settings
other than as described in the product documentation.
