8ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide
•Response Level 2: AutoSeastate off (Minimum deadband)
This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to increased power
consumption and drive unit activity.
•Response Level 3: AutoSeastate off + yaw damping
This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by introducing
counter rudder yaw damping You can adjust the counter rudder setting in
Dealer Calibration (see
SmartPilot Commissioning Guide
).
To make a temporary change to the response setting:
1. Display the RESPONSE screen by pressing the
-1 and +1 buttons together.
2. Press
-1 or +1 to change the response between levels 1 to 3.
3. Press
disp or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display.
Note:
You will lose these temporary changes to response level whenever the system is
powered off. You can make permanent adjustments in User Calibration (see page 24).
Off Course warning
The SmartPilot warns you when you have been off course from the locked heading
for longer than 20 seconds. It shows whether the deviation is to port or starboard.
Note:
The default off course angle is set at 20º. You can adjust this angle in Dealer Cali-
bration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide).
1. To cancel the off course warning, press standby to return to manual steer-
ing.
2. Check whether your boat is carrying too much sail, or whether the sails are
badly balanced. You can usually significantly improve course keeping by
improving the sail balance.
Note:
The SmartPilot also clears the warning if the heading recovers or if you change
course.
