Power protocol
Power to the ST70 Pilot can be switched on and off using the power button. However,
where a Pilot is part of a system, it may be more convenient to switch power for the
entire system from a central circuit breaker.
In this case, when system power is switched ON again:
• An ST70 Pilot that was switched on when power was last switched off will return to
the switched ON state.
• An ST70 Pilot that was OFF when system power was last switched OFF will
remain OFF and will need to be switched ON using the power button.
1.5 Commissioning requirement
WARNING: The ST70 Pilot must be prepared for use in accordance with
the Commissioning Procedures, before it is used for operational purposes.
Failure to comply with this could result in death, personal injury, damage
to your boat and/or poor product performance.
