Smartpilot Controller Operating Guide

3.2 General maintenance

Routine checks

CAUTION:  

The SmartPilot computer and controller do not contain any user 
serviceable parts. It should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine 
service technician. 

The SmartPilot computer does NOT contain user-serviceable parts. If you 
remove the main cover you will invalidate the warranty. The controller is also 
a sealed unit. As a result, user maintenance is limited to the following checks

make sure all cable connectors are firmly attached

examine for signs of wear or damage – replace any damaged cables

Note:  

Do

 not 

use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the SmartPilot 

computer. If the case is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.

Cleaning the display

CAUTION:  

Take care when cleaning the display. Avoid wiping the display screen 
with a dry cloth as this could scratch the screen coating. If necessary, 
only use a mild detergent.

Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the controller. If it is 
dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.

In certain conditions, condensation may appear inside the display screen. 
This will not harm the unit, and you can clear it by switching on the illu-
mination for a short time.

EMC advice

When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic 
fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact 
with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. 

To minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible perfor-
mance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the 
installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction 
between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromag-
netic Compatibility (EMC).

Always report any EMC-related problems to your nearest Raymarine 
dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards.
