Save the new settings
When you have adjusted the above settings hold down
standby
for two seconds, to
save your changes, leave Dealer calibration and return to the
Standby mode
.
Seatrial calibration
When you have completed the dockside checks, carry out a Seatrial calibration, to
calibrate the compass and set up the autopilot steering characteristics.
Before commencing the seatrial:
•
The dockside calibration must have been successfully completed.
• There must be no EMC problems (see page 7 ).
Important
If you need to return to manual steering at any time during a Seatrial or any other
procedure, press the standby button. NEVER compromise vessel safety.
Seatrial conditions
The seatrial must be carried out only:
•
In conditions of light wind and calm water.
• In waters that are clear of any obstructions, so the boat has plenty of clear space
to maneuver.
In order to achieve optimum autopilot performance, course over ground (COG),
speed over ground (SOG) and latitude (LAT) data must be available to the SPX-5
Tiller system (e.g. on SeaTalk). Ensure that the equipment providing this information
(e.g. GPS), is switched on and fully operational, before starting a Seatrial.
The Seatrial procedures are:
•
Compass calibration.
• Using AutoLearn to set the SPX-5 Tiller system steering characteristics.
Compass calibration
The compass calibration procedures are:
•
Swinging the compass.
• Aligning the compass.
Swinging the compass
The magnetic deviation correction procedure (commonly called “swinging the
compass”) involves turning your boat in slow circles so the autopilot can automatically
determine the deviation and apply any correction required. The correction procedure
reduces deviation errors to a few degrees.
As magnetic deviation can cause significant compass errors on your boat, you MUST
complete the compass swing before any other seatrial procedure.
To swing the compass:
1. With the pilot in Standby mode, enter Seatrial calibration as follows:
i. Hold down
standby
for two seconds to enter Calibration mode.
ii. When you see the DISPLAY CAL screen, press
disp
until you see the
SEATRIAL CAL screen.
iii. Press
auto
to enter Seatrial calibration.
