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) 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. 2. With the port lines at maximum pressure, check D7502-1 the port lines for leaks, paying particular attention to the joints. If a leak occurs, turn the wheel to starboard to release the pressure, then repair the leak and repeat step 1. 87040_1.book Page 29 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide 29 Checking for leaks (sheet 2) 3. Turn the wheel to starboard, and when the hard over point is reached, continue turning to starboard to pressurize the starboard lines, until the safety valve releases. At this point, the fluid in the starboard line will be at maximum pressure and the wheel has a 'lumpy' feel when turned to starboard. 4. With the starboard lines at maximum pressure, check the starboard lines for leaks, paying particular attention to the joints. If a leak occurs, turn the wheel to port to release the pressure, then repair the leak and repeat step 3. ensure there are still no hydraulic fluid leaks. Switch on & commissioning WARNING: Before switching on power to the course computer, make sure that personnel are clear of the steering gear and that the boat is securely moored. 1. Switch on power to the S1000 system. 2. Carry out the commissioning procedure. D7550-1 5.

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. 87040_1.book Page 35 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM 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. D3548-6 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. 87040_1.book Page 36 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM Raymarine UK Ltd, Quay Point, Northarbour Road Portsmouth, Hampshire PO6 3TD, United Kingdom.
