Dockside checks & setup
The dockside checks comprise:
1. Switching on.
2. Checking SeaTalk and NMEA 0183 connections.
3. Checking rudder bar and steering operating sense.
4. Dealer calibration settings. These are:
• Checking autopilot steering sense.
• Setting vessel type and drive type.
• Setting rudder limits, if rudder reference option fitted.
WARNING:
For safe control of your boat, you MUST complete the dockside
preparation before starting the initial seatrial.
With the boat safely tied up, carry out the dockside checks and setup procedures
before any trials at sea or other setup procedures.
Step 1 - Switching on
1. Observing the Drive unit, switch on the main power breaker. If the Drive moves,
switch off the power immediately, then ensure the system wiring is correct before
proceeding.
2. When the Pilot Controller and Course Computer are powered up, the controller
will beep and show the controller type for a few seconds, before showing the
STANDBY
screen.
You may also see a
CALIBRATE REQUIRED
message. This is displayed for a
short time if either
• The vessel type is not selected.
• The compass is not calibrated.
These will be calibrated during commissioning.
3. Check that the
STANDBY
screen displays a live compass heading.
