SeaTalk interface
If the ST5000 Plus has been linked to other SeaTalk instruments via
SeaTalk, the link can be checked as follows:
1. Press
standby
.
2. Select display illumination level 3 on any other SeaTalk
instrument or autopilot control unit.
The ST5000 Plus should immediately respond by switching on its
display illumination.
If the illumination does not switch on then a cabling fault exists in the
SeaTalk cabling between the ST5000 Plus control head and the
instruments/control unit.
6.2 Dockside procedures
The dockside procedures are only required if a rudder reference
transducer is fitted, and ensures that the rudder reference transducer is
correctly aligned with the rudder.
To carry out the procedure:
1. Move the helm to its centre position, using the
-1
,
+1
,
-10
and
+10
keys.
2. Check the rudder bar display. The rudder angle should be within ±
7° of centre.
3. To improve the alignment, slacken the rudder reference mounting
bolts and rotate the base until the reported rudder angle is as close
to zero as possible. Then tighten the bolts again.
4. Fine adjustment, to align the display and helm accurately, is
achieved using the
Align rudder option in Dealer Setup (see
Chapter 4 ). However, this cannot be used to correct an offset of
more than ± 7°.
