Chapter 3: Maintenance & Fault Finding
This chapter provides information about maintaining your SportPilot
system, obtaining product support and solving common problems.
3.1 General maintenance
CAUTION:
The SportPilot and fluxgate compass do not contain any user
serviceable parts. These products should be serviced only by
authorized Raymarine service technicians.
Routine cabling checks
• Make sure all connections are firmly attached.
• Examine the cables for signs of wear or damage – replace any
damaged cables.
Cleaning the SportPilot
• If the SportPilot is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.
• Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the SportPilot.
EMC advice
• When powered up, all electrical equipment produces
electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of
electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a
consequent adverse effect on operation.
• To minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible
performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are
given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure
minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e.
ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
• Always report any EMC-related problems to your nearest
Raymarine dealer. We use such information to improve our
quality standards.
• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the
equipment from being affected by external influences. In general
this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious
resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
