1.1 Overview
The ST6000 Plus is a SeaTalk
®
compatible autopilot control unit. It is
designed for use as a repeater in an autopilot system, allowing autopilot
control from a secondary location, or as the control unit for a Type
100/300 Course Computer. It can also repeat instrument data in a
programmable selection of Data Pages.
The ST6000 Plus can share all data transmitted from other Raytheon
SeaTalk instruments:
• Wind information from a wind instrument can be used for wind trim
(Vane) steering without the need to install a separate vane.
• Track information, from a navigation instrument, provides waypoint
control from the autopilot.
• Boat speed from the Speed instrument provides optimum track-
keeping performance.
The ST6000 Plus autopilot can also be used with any navigator (GPS,
Decca, Loran) transmitting NMEA 0183 data.
There are five operating modes:
Standby: Autopilot disengaged
Auto:
Autopilot engaged and locked onto a heading
Track:
Autopilot maintains a track between two waypoints created
using a navigation system
Vane:
Autopilot maintains a course relative to an apparent wind
angle
Manual: Autopilot power steers rudder using joystick control
When the ST6000 Plus is being used to repeat instrument data, “pop-up
pilot” pages are displayed for 5 seconds whenever a change in autopilot
control is made.
The ST6000 Plus also provides the following:
• Automatic tack facility, which can be used in Auto and Vane modes
• Automatic compass deviation correction
• Northerly/Southerly heading compensation
• Automatic heading deadband – seastate control
• Waypoint advance feature
