Chapter 5: Commissioning the Wheel Pilot
This chapter explains how to commission your wheel pilot after
installation. This consists of a number of simple functional tests
followed by a short sea trial.
5.1 Functional tests
Switch on
1. Switch on the main power breaker.
2. The control unit should beep and display the pilot type (
ST3000
).
3. Within 2 seconds, the display should show a flashing
‘C’
followed
by the compass heading (for example,
C 234
). This shows the
autopilot is active.
Note: If the wheel pilot does not beep or display the compass
heading, please refer to the Fault Finding section (see page 30).
Operating sense
The operating sense defines the direction the wheel pilot will apply
helm when a course change key is pressed or the boat goes off course.
To check the operating sense:
1. Turn the clutch lever fully clockwise to engage the clutch.
2. Press
+10
.
3. The wheel should move to produce a turn to starboard.
4. If the wheel movement produces a turn to port, refer to the
following instructions on reversing the operating sense.
Note: You should only need to reverse the operating sense if you have
installed the drive with the sprocket facing forward (see page 52).
