This guide
Before starting to install your S1000 Autopilot, please take time to read this guide. In particu-
lar, please take note of the safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information at the
end of this guide.
WARNING:
This product must be installed and operated in accordance with the
Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to observe this could
result in personal injury, damage to the boat and/or poor product
performance.
The installation procedures are described in a rational sequence, but because of variations in
boat design, space available etc, you may need to adapt the sequence to suit your particular
circumstances.
Before you start fitting your S1000 Autopilot, we recommend you:
•Unpack your S1000 Autopilot and check that all parts are present.
•Plan your S1000 Autopilot installation so that you fit the components in the best possible
locations.
Important note
The S1000 Autopilot must receive position information from a suitable GPS in
order to function correctly. GPS systems compatible with SeaTalk or NMEA or
both, are suitable. If you need advice as to which GPS to use, please contact
your Raymarine dealer.

Planning
In order to make the installation as trouble free as possible, we strongly recommend you
spend adequate time planning the best locations for your autopilot components. This is
particularly important when considering the position of the autopilot pump, as hydraulic
hoses are supplied in fixed lengths, so there are some limitations on the positioning of the
autopilot pump with respect to the boat’s helm pump.
If you have internet access, please view the installation video on line at www.raymarine.com.
Before you disturb your hydraulic steering system, we strongly recommend that you consult
the manufacturer and read the steering system manuals.

Using the hydraulic hoses
D7553-1
Three, pre-assembled hydraulic hoses are supplied. Two of these are dark-colored, high
pressure steering hoses and the third is a transparent low-pressure hose.
The transparent hose is intended to help you check for air bubbles when bleeding the
system and must be used only to connect the autopilot pump reservoir to the lower
connector on the helm pump. It must NOT be used anywhere else in the system.

Sealing hydraulic joints
Do not apply sealant to
hose connection thread
Note: The hydraulic fittings supplied with the autopilot pump have sealant pre-
applied to the tapered threads. You only need you to apply sealant to any extra
joints you may obtain. The recommended sealant for doing this, is Loctite 542.
Do not use sealing tape on any part of a hydraulic system, as this can disintegrate
and the resulting particles can cause blockages in the hydraulic system.

2. Bleeding the steering system
WARNING:
Do not allow hydraulic fluid to come into contact with your
skin. Wear the protective nitrile gloves provided when
working with hydraulic fluid.
Connecting the autopilot pump will introduce air into the steering system, making it feel
‘spongy’ and ‘lumpy’ to operate. To return the steering system to smooth operation, use the
procedure given here to bleed the air from the system.

7. Post installation
When you have completed the installation of your S1000 Autopilot, use the following
procedures to:
•Check the steering operation.
•Check the system for leaks.
•Switch on the autopilot, then use the commissioning procedure, to correctly set up the
autopilot.
Steering operation
Turn the wheel from hard over port, to hard over starboard. If the steering operates
satisfactorily, proceed with the other post installation checks.
If the steering feels uneven and/or less responsive than it was before you installed your S1000
Autopilot, you may need to bleed the entire steering system. To do this, use the purge
procedure at the following web address:
http://www.seastarsteering.com/OUTBOARD/oboard.htm?../FILL_PURGE/FillPurge.htm&1
Checking for leaks
Checking for leaks (sheet 1)
Ensure all hydraulic joints are secure, then turn
the wheel to port. When the hard over point is
reached, continue turning to port to pressurize the
port lines, until the safety valve releases. At this
point, the fluid in the port lines will be at
maximum pressure and the wheel has a 'lumpy'
feel when turned to port.

(approximately)
Wind
To regain control of the boat at any time during Autolearn,
press STANDBY.
Continue on sheet 2
The Autolearn process takes your boat through a series of
zig-zag maneuvers, so a significant amount of CLEAR SPACE
is required in front of your boat. Do NOT start Autolearn
unless this space is available.
1.
Before you use the autopilot, run the inbuilt Autolearn facility to set up the
autopilot for your boat:
At the S100 remote, hold down STANDBY for 2 seconds,
to enter Pilot Setup mode
2. Press MODE the necessary number of times to display
AUTOLEARN.
3. Press PILOT to initiate Autolearn.

5. Press PILOT to begin. Your boat will then make a series of
zig-zag turns and the S100 display will show the Autolearn
step numbers (counting up). A typical Autolearn process
takes from 7 to 27 steps.
6. At the end of a successful Autolearn process, the display
shows LRN PASS. When this occurs, hold down
STANDBY for 2 seconds, to save the Autolearn values and
enter autopilot Standby Mode.
If an Autolearn process fails, the display shows LRN FAIL.
Press and release STANDBY to return to Autolearn and
repeat the process.

Safety notices
WARNING: Product installation & operation
This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the Raymarine
instructions provided. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, damage to
your boat and/or poor product performance.
WARNING: Electrical safety
Make sure you have switched off the power supply before you start installing this
product.
Information
To the best of our knowledge, the information in this guide was correct when it went to press. However, Raymarine
cannot accept liability for any inaccuracies or omissions it may contain.
In addition, our policy of continuous product improvement may change specifications without notice. Therefore,
Raymarine cannot accept liability for any differences between the product and this guide.
EMC Installation Guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational
marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but
correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken
to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the
operation of the product.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not
be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC
performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible
between different items of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:
•Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
•At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF
radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7
ft (2 m).
•More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed
to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.
•The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in
the power supply to our products, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not
damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode.
•Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and
must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
•If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be
removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.

S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide 35
Suppression Ferrites
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the
ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
Connections to Other Equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a
suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.
