1.1 Overview
Congratulations on the purchase of your RayPilot 650 autopilot
control unit from Raymarine. We have developed the RayPilot 650 to
integrate simplified controls with a sophisticated processor to bring
you superb steering, no matter what the conditions. The totally
waterproof control unit has features such as:
• an illuminated keypad, which takes the guesswork out of
night-time use
• a rotary course knob which allows you to make accurate course
changes by as little as 1°
• a large easy to read display that provides you with graphic
representations of rudder angle, cross track error and much more
The RayPilot 650 has these basic operating modes:
• Standby mode: autopilot off
• Auto mode: autopilot engaged and locked onto a heading
• Navigator (Track) mode: autopilot on and maintaining a track
between two waypoints created on a navigation system
• Wind Vane mode: autopilot on and maintaining a course relative
to an apparent wind angle
• Power Steer mode: allows full control of the boat via the course
change knob
• Calibration mode: so you can adjust the autopilot system to give
optimum performance on your boat
