Thecommissioning procedures comprises a series of dockside safety checks and a short seatrial. Additional setup procedures enable you to fine tune your SPX system foroptimum performance with your boat. These procedures are not mandatory and you may find that you do not need to usethem if the SPX systemoperates to your satisfaction after commissioning. 1.2 Commissioning procedures Dockside checks The dockside checks comprise: 1. Switching on. 2. Checking SeaTalk and NMEA 0183 connections. 3. Checking autopilot steering sense. 4. Setting vessel type and drive type 5. Setting rudder limits, if rudder reference option fitted. WARNING: Ensure safe control For safe control of your boat, you MUST complete the dockside checks before starting the initial seatrial. With the boat safely tied up, complete the following dockside checks. 81307_2.book Page 3 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM Chapter 1: Procedures 3 Switching on 1. When you have installed your SPX system, switch on the main power breaker. 2. If the SmartPilot controller and computer are active, thecontroller will beep, show the controller type for a few seconds will show the STANDBY screen.You may see a CALIBRATE REQUIRED message. This is displayed for a short time ifeither: • the vessel type is not selected. • the compass is not calibrated. These will be calibrated later in this chapter. 3. Check that the STANDBY screen displays a live compass heading. TRUE D10524-1 Troubleshooting • If the Pilot Controller does not beep or the display is blank, check the fuse/circuit breaker and the SeaTalk fuse in the SPX Course Computer. • If the display shows the SEATALK FAIL or NO DATA alarm message, check the SeaTalk connections. • If the STANDBY screen does not display a live compass heading, check the sensor connections. Note: The autopilots built-in gyro requires a few minutes to stabilize after power on. During this time the heading may appear to drift until the gyro has stabilized. Checking SeaTalk and NMEA connections SeaTalk connections If you have connected the Pilot Controller to other SeaTalk instruments or controllers, check the links as follows: 1. Select display lighting level 3 (LAMP 3) on one of theother SeaTalk instruments or controllers. 2. Check that the Pilot Controller display lights are on. If the lights are not on, check the SeaTalk cabling between the Pilot Controller and the other units. NMEA navigator connections If you have connectedthe SPX system to a NMEA navigator, check the links by displaying the default navigation data pages on the Pilot Controller: 1. Press disp to display the first data page (XTE), and check that this page shows the expected data. 2. Press disp again to check each successive data page (BTW, DTW etc) If the display shows dashes instead of data values, ensure: • The navigator is switched on and transmitting an active waypoint. • The navigator is configured to transmit the required data format 81307_2.book Page 4 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 4 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide • There is not a cabling error. Check for open circuit, short circuit or reversed wires Wind instrument connections If you have connected the SmartPilot to a SeaTalk or NMEA wind instrument, check the links as follows: 1. Simultaneously press standby and auto. 2. Check that the Pilot Controller displays the Wind Vane mode screen, with the locked wind angle and locked heading. If WIND mode is not displayed, the SPX system is not receiving wind data. Check the wind instrument and connections. + MAG D10532-1 Checking autopilot operating sense If the rudder reference option is not fitted, ignore this step and proceed from Generic checks, below. If the rudder reference option is fitted: 1. Turn the wheel manually to starboard. 2. Check that the rudder bar on the controller moves to starboard. If the rudder bar display moves the wrong way: i. Turn off the power. ii. Reverse the red and green wires connected to the RUDDER inputs on the SPX Course Computer. iii. Switch on the power and re-check. Generic checks 1. Manually center the wheel, then press auto so the SPX system is in Auto mode.Check that the display shows AUTO. Be ready to press standby if the rudder moves hardover. 2.

Use the wheel to center the rudder. 3. Use -1 and +1 or the rotary control to adjust the rudder bar so it is positioned at the center. The maximum adjustment available is ±9°. If the offset is beyond these limits, you will need to physically adjust the alignment of the sensor. 81307_2.book Page 8 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 8 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide 4. Press disp to select the correctalignment and move tothe next calibration option. Note: Alternatively, you can zero the rudder bar with the boat underway during the initial seatri- al, by manually steering a straight course then accessing the ALIGN RUD screen in Seatrial Calibration to adjust the offset. Setting the rudder limits Carry out this procedure only if the rudder reference option is fitted. If the rudder reference option is not fitted, ignore this procedure. If the rudder reference option is fitted: 1. With the SmartPilot still in Dealer Calibration press disp to scroll through the calibration pages until you reach the RUD LIMIT page. 2. Turn the wheel to move the rudder: • to the port end stop and note the angle on the rudder bar • to the starboard end stop and note the angle on the rudder bar 3. Use -1, +1, -10 and +10 or the rotary control to set the rudder limit to 5° less than the lowest angle you have noted. 4. Press disp to select the new value and move to the next calibration option. Save the new settings When you have adjusted the above settings, hold down standby for two seconds, to save your changes, leave Dealer calibration and return to the Standby mode Seatrial Calibration When you have completed thedockside checks, carry out a Seatrial calibration, to calibrate the compass and set up the autopilot steering characteristics. Before commencing the seatrial: • The dockside calibration must have been successfully completed. • There must be no EMC problems. The Seatrial procedures are: • Compass calibration. • Using AutoLearn to set the SPXsystem steering characteristics. Important If you need to return to manual steering at any time during a Seatrial or any other procedure, press the standby button. NEVER compromise vessel safety. EMC conformance Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc. Seatrial conditions The seatrial must be carried out only: • In conditions of light wind and calm water. • In waters that are clear of any obstructions, so the boat has plenty of clear space to maneuver. 81307_2.book Page 9 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM Chapter 1: Procedures 9 In order to achieve optimum autopilot performance, course over ground (COG), speed over ground (SOG) and latitude (LAT) data must be available to the SPX system (e.g. on SeaTalk). Ensure that the equipment providing this information (e.g. GPS), is switched on and fully operational, before starting a Seatrial. Calibrating the compass Note: This section does not apply if you have connected an NMEA compass to your SPX sys- tem. Refer to the handbook supplied with the NMEA compass for information about calibration. The compass calibration procedures are: • Swinging the compass. • Aligning the compass. Swinging the compass The magnetic deviation correction procedure (commonly called “swinging the compass”) involves turning your boat in slow circles so the autopilot can automatically determine the deviation and apply any correction required. The correction procedure reduces deviation errors to a few degrees. As magnetic deviation can causesignificant compass errors on your boat, you MUST complete the compass swing before any other seatrial procedure. To swing the compass: 1. With the SPX system in Standby mode, enter Seatrial calibration as follows: i. Hold down standby for two seconds to enter Calibration mode. ii. When you see the DISPLAY CAL screen, press disp until you see the SEATRIAL CAL screen. iii. Press auto to enter Seatrial calibration. Note: If you cannot access Seatrial calibration, you need to disable the calibration lock. This can be found in Dealer calibration (see page 26). 2. Use disp as necessary, to move through the Seatrial Calibration items until you see SWING COMPASS. 2 sec x2 D10541-1 3. When you are ready to start, press +1, or turn the rotary control clockwise, to select SWING COMPASS ON. On ST8002 systems,you must then press auto to start the compass swing. The controller will display TURN BOAT indicating the start of the calibration process. 4. Start slowly turning the boat in circles (keeping the boat’s speed below 2 knots). You will need to complete at least two circles, taking at least 2 minutes to complete each 360°: If you turn the boat too quickly, the display will show a TOO FAST message. If this occurs, apply less helm to turn in a larger circle. 81307_2.book Page 10 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 10 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide Note: If necessary, you can quit the correction process by pressing standby or disp. If you then want to repeat the deviation correction, return to the SWING COMPASS screen. Start turning boat Turn boat in slow circles so: • boat's speed stays below 2 knots • each circle takes at least 2 minutes Minimum of 2 circles Autopilot heading Keep turning the boat until you see the DEVIATION screen D10542-1 5. Continue slowly turning the boat until the controller beeps and displays the DEVIATION screen. This indicates thatthe SPX system hascompleted the deviation correction. Note: This screen shows the maximum deviation encountered over 360° (not as an east/west value). If the deviation figure exceeds 15° or the display shows no deviation value, the compass is being affected by ferrous objects on your boat. You should move the compass to a better location. Higher deviation figures are acceptable on steel boats. Aligning the compass heading Once the deviation is displayed, press disp to move to the Heading Alignment (ALIGN HDG).page. 1. Manually steer the boat on a steady course at a speed sufficient to hold the course. 81307_2.book Page 11 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM Chapter 1: Procedures 11 2. If you have a GPS connected to your SPX system: • Increase the boat speed to more than 3 knots • Press auto. The SPX system willthen set the heading to agree with the COG (course over ground) heading received from the GPS As many factors can cause a difference between heading and COG, you must finetune the heading alignment so it matches the boat’s steering compass (or a known transit bearing). To do this: 1. Use -1, +1, -10 and +10 or the rotary control to adjust the displayed heading until it matches the boat’s steering compass (or a known transit bearing). 2. Hold down standby for 2 seconds to exit Seatrial calibration and save the new compass settings. Align the autopilot heading to set autopilot heading to a Coarse adjustment: If COG is available from GPS, press COG value, then fine tune manually (see below). If COG is not available (or after setting heading to COG), b Fine adjustment: align autopilot heading manually: ST6001, ST7001, ST6002 & ST7002 or Autopilot heading Steering compass or ST8001 & ST8002 = Known heading Adjust the autopilot heading so it shows the same value as the boat's steering compass Save changes 2 sec To: • save deviation correction • save heading alignment • return to STANDBY mode D6320-2 Although the compass calibration removes most of the alignment error, small errors (a few degrees) may remain. Once you have completed the initial compass calibration, you can make further adjustments to the alignment without having to swing the compass again. Check the heading reading against a number of known headings, plot a deviation curve, and determine the heading alignment value that will give the lowest average alignment error. You can then enter this value on the Heading Alignment screen, as described above. If the average heading error is more than 5°, you should perform the compass deviation correction procedure again, circling more slowly and in more favorable conditions. 81307_2.book Page 12 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 12 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide AutoLearn WARNING: Ensure there is enough clear sea space The AutoLearn process takes the boat through a number of maneuvers, which can result in sudden, sharp turns, especially when the AutoLearn function is run on more maneuverable boats. Therefore, ensure there is a significant amount of CLEAR SEA SPACE in front of the boat, before starting an AutoLearn process. The next stage of the Seatrial is to carry out an AutoLearn routine. AutoLearn is a selflearning calibration feature that automatically adjusts rudder gain, counter rudder and AutoTrim for optimum performance for your boat. If you need to return to manual steering at any time during an AutoLearn routine or any other procedure, press the standby button. NEVER compromise vessel safety.

The screen will then show the CLEAR TO MANEUVER message. Ensure it is safe to continue, then press auto to start the AutoLearn maneuvers: • The boat will start a series ofzig-zag turns and the display will showLEARNING with a number to indicate the current AutoLearn stage. This number increases as AutoLearn progresses. • A typical AutoLearn completes within 7 to 27 steps (depending on boat characteristics and sea conditions). Note: To cancel an AutoLearn, press standby or disp. 7. When the SPX system has finished learning, the controller will beep and display either LRN PASS or LRN FAIL: • LRN PASS = AutoLearn completed successfully • LRN FAIL = AutoLearn was not successful, so should be repeated. A failure code will also be displayed: 1 = AutoLearn has not been carried out 2 = AutoLearn failed, due to manual interruption 4 = AutoLearn failed, probably due to drive or compass failure 5 = AutoLearn failed, probably due to motor current limiting. 6 = AutoLearn failed, probably due to boat spinning. 8. If the AutoLearn was successful, hold down standby for 2 seconds to store the new settings. 81307_2.book Page 14 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 14 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide Boat completes AutoLearn AutoLearn successful Note: If you see a LRN FAIL message, press disp to return to the AUTOLEARN screen then repeat from Step 2 After 7 to 27 steps !

If you feel this is necessary, use the appropriate procedures under Manual setup, below. 1.3 Manual set-up Checking SPX system operation Before manually adjusting any settings, familiarize yourself with basic SPX system operation, as follows: 1. Steer onto a compass heading and hold the course steady at a normal cruising speed. If necessary, steer the boat manually for a short time to check how the boat steers. 2. Press auto to lock onto the current heading. The SPX system should hold the locked heading in calm sea conditions. 3. Use -1, +1, -10 and +10 and observe how theSPX system alters the course to port and starboard. 4. Press standby to return to manual steering. If you feel you need to fine tune the SPX system performance, you can do so by using one or more of the procedures below to adjust: • Response level. • Rudder gain. • Counter rudder • AutoTrim. 81307_2.book Page 15 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM Chapter 1: Procedures 15 Over time you may wish to repeat these adjustments using a range of sea conditions and headings to achieve optimum all-round performance for your particular vessel and preferences. Adjust these settings when motoring your boat at cruising speed. Response level The principal method of adjusting the performance of SPX systemsis by changing the response level. This controls the relationship between the system’s course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. Screen Text Effect on operation RESPONSE 1-3 This setting minimizes the amount of rudder activity but may compromise short-term course keeping accuracy, RESPONSE 4-6 This setting gives good course keeping with crisp, well controlled turns under normal operating conditions. RESPONSE 7-9 This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping and greatest rudder activity. This can lead to arough passage in open waters as the SPX system may fight the sea. To temporarily change the response level: 1. Press -1 and +1 or resp to access the RESPONSE screen (see page 25). 2. Use the -1 or +1 key or the up and down arrow keys to adjust thesetting. 3. Press disp to confirm the change Rudder gain Boats can vary widely in their response to helm, and by adjusting the rudder gain you can change the steering characteristics of the SPX syst em. Rudder gain is ameasure of how much helm the SPX system applies to correct course errors – higher settings mean more rudder is applied. Checking Complete the following test to determine whether the rudder gain is set correctly: 1. Set RESPONSE to level 5 (see above). 2. Motor your boat at a typical cruising speed in clear water. It is easier to recognize the steering response in calm sea conditions where wave action does not mask steering performance. 3. Press auto to enter Auto mode, then alter course by 40°: • If the rudder gain is adjusted correctly, the 40° course change should result in a crisp turn followed by an overshoot of no more than 5°. • If the rudder gain setting is too high, the 40° course change will result in a distinct overshoot of more than 5° andthere may be a distinct ‘S’ in the cou rse, as at (A). Correct this oversteer by reducing the rudder gain setting 81307_2.book Page 16 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 16 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide • If the rudder gain is too low, the boat’s performance will be sluggish – ti will take a long time to make the 40° turn and there will be no overshoot (B). Correct this understeer by increasing the rudder gain setting. New heading B New heading A Rudder gain too low New heading Rudder gain too high Correct rudder gain D3262-3 Adjusting To adjust the rudder gain: 1. Access the RUDD GAIN screen in Dealer calibration (see page 28). 2. Use the -1 or +1 keys or the rotary control to adjust the rudder gain. 3. Hold down standby for 2 seconds to save the changes. 4. Press auto to check SPXsystem performance in Auto mode. Adjusting the counter rudder Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the SPX system applies to try to prevent the boat from yawing off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more rudder being applied. Checking To check the counter rudder setting 1. Set RESPONSE to level 5 (see above). 2. Motor your boat at cruising speed in clear water. 3. Press auto to switch the SPX system to Auto mode, then make a 90° course change: • When gain and counter rudder are both set correctly, the boat performs a smooth continuous turn with minimal overshoot. • If the counter rudder is too low, the boat will still overshoot. • If counter rudder is too high, the boat will ‘fight the turn’ and make a series of short, sharp turns: this results in a very ‘mechanical’ feel as the boat changes course. 81307_2.book Page 17 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM Chapter 1: Procedures 17 Adjusting To adjust the counter rudder: 1. Access the COUNT RUD screen in Dealer calibration (see page 28). 2. Use -1 or +1 or the rotary control to adjust the counter rudder. 3. Hold down standby for 2 seconds to save the changes. 4. Press auto to check the SPX system performance inAuto mode. AutoTrim You may also need to adjust the AutoTrim setting. AutoTrim determines how quickly the SPX system applies ‘standing helm’ to correct for trim changes caused, for example, by changes in the wind load on the sails or superstructure, or an imbalance of engines. Increasing the AutoTrim level reduces the time the SPX system takes to get back onto the correct course, but makesthe boat less stable. If the SPX system: • Gives unstable course keeping and the boat ‘snakes’ around the desired course, decrease the AutoTrim level • Hangs off course for excessive periods of time, increase the AutoTrim level Adjusting Before attempting to adjust the AutoTrim setting, ensure you have sufficient experience using the SPX system. On sail boats you can only evaluate the effect of AutoTrim while under sail. If you need to adjust AutoTrim, go up one level at a time anduse the lowest acceptable value. The possible settings range from OFF (no trim correction) to 4 (fastest trim correction). To adjust the AutoTrim: 1. 2. 3. 4. Access the AUTOTRIM screen in Dealer calibration.mode (see page 29). Use -1 or +1 or the rotary control, to adjust the AutoTrim level. Hold down standby for 2 seconds to save the changes. Press auto to check the SPX system performance inAuto mode. 81307_2.book Page 18 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 18 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide 81307_2.book Page 19 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 19 Chapter 2: SPX system settings 2.1 Introduction This chapter describes the SPX system calibration settings and factory default settings. The calibration settings can be adjusted to best suit your operating requirements, but as many will have been adjusted to optimum values when commissioning the system, they should not require further change. If you change the calibration settings after the SPX system has been commissioned, you do not need to repeat the commissioning process. However, DO NOT manually adjust autopilot settings before the commissioning procedures in Chapter 2have been completed. Calibration modes There are four calibration modes, namely Display calibration, User calibration, Seatrial calibration and Dealer calibration. Each calibration mode uses a series of screens to set calibration values. Display calibration The items in Display calibration affect the SPX system Pilot Controller. They are stored in the controller and do not affect any other controllers connected through SeaTalk. You can adjust the Display calibration settings as often as necessary – for example, to add or change information displayed on data pages. User calibration The User calibration mode includes settings that you may need to adjust on a regular basis to respond to changing conditions. Seatrial calibration The Seatrial calibration mode is used ONLY when commissioning your SPX system, as described in Chapter 3, so is not described again here. Do not access Seatrial calibration during normal operation. Dealer calibration The Dealer calibration mode includes items that have a significant impact on operation and can affect your boat’s safety. After you have completed the initial installation and seatrial, you should not normally need to alter the Dealer calibration values. 81307_2.book Page 20 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 20 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide Accessing the Calibration modes Accessing Calibration Modes 2 seconds 2 seconds (saves changes) Calibration Modes to enter display calibration mode to enter user calibration mode to enter seatrial calibration mode CAL ? + to enter dealer calibration mode D10647-1 Adjusting calibration values To adjust calibration values: 1.

You can either: • Set a default AutoTack angle. This is the angle through which the boat will turn when an AutoTack is performed. or • Select Relative Tack operation. With Relative Tack selected, the apparent wind angle when AutoTack is initiated, is mirrored the other side of the wind, on the opposite tack. Screen Text Options AUTO TACK 40° to 125° in1° steps Setting default AutoTack angle To set the required AutoTack angle: • If the SPX system is receiving wind information, set the AutoTack angle to the required change of heading. • If the SPX system is not receiving wind information, set the AutoTack angle to 20° greater than the actual required change of heading. For example, to tack through 80° (i.e when sailing at 40° to the wind), set the AutoTack angle to 100°. Selecting Relative Tack To select Relative Tack, use -1 and -10, to reduce the tack angle value to 30°. This action selects Relative Tack and the screen displays rEL, to indicate this. Gybe inhibit With gybe inhibit on: • You will be able to perform an AutoTack into the wind • The SPX system will prevent the boat fromperforming an AutoTack away from the wind, to prevent accidental gybes, With gybe inhibit off, you can perform an AutoTack into or away from the wind. Screen Text Options GYBE STOP ON (Default) = Gybe inhibit on (gybes prevented) OFF = Gybe inhibit off (gybes permitted) Wind selection This screen determines whether the boat steers to apparent or true wind in Wind Vane mode.

Higher wind trim settings will result in a system that is more responsive to wind changes. Screen Text Options WIND TRIM Range = 1 to 9 1 to 3 - Least responsive to wind changes (less system activity) 4 to 6 - Moderate response to wind changes 7 to 9 - Most responsive to wind changes (more system activity) Response level This sets the default SPX system response level. The response level controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes to response during normal operation, as described in the Pilot Controller Operating Guide. Screen Text Options RESPONSE Range = 1 to 9 Level 1 to 3 minimizes the amount ofpilot activity. This conserves power, but may compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy. Level 4 to 6 should give good coursekeeping with crisp, well controlled turns under normal operating conditions Level 7 to 9 givesthe tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open waters as the SPX system may ‘fight’ the sea. 2.4 Dealer calibration For information on how to access Dealer calibration, see Accessing the Calibration modes, page 20. WARNING: Dealer calibration Changing the Dealer calibration values can have a significant affect on the SPX system steering characteristics and therefore on the safety of your boat. Some Dealer calibration values are adjusted during the commissioning process (see Chapter 1: Commissioning & setup), and once the SPX system has been commissioned you should not normally need to change Dealer calibration values. However if you decide you want to change values in Dealer calibration, be aware that the Dealer calibration mode includes items that have a significant impact on SPX-5 Wheel system operation and can affect your boat’s safety. 81307_2.book Page 26 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM 26 SmartPilot X-Series Commissioning & Setup Guide Accessing Dealer Calibration + 2 seconds (saves changes) Dealer Calibration To adjust values or or To exit & save changes 2 seconds D10603-1 Seatrial calibration lock This screen controls the access to Seatrial calibration.

If the rudder reference option is fitted, this screen is used to set the limits of the rudder control just inside the mechanical end stops, and thus avoid putting the steering system under unnecessary load. This should be set when commissioning the SPX system (see page 8). Screen Text Range RUD LIMIT 10° to 40° in 1° steps Rudder gain Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the SPX systemapplies to correct course errors. The higher the setting the more rudder will be applied. The rudder gain setting is set automatically as part of the AutoLearn process (see page 12). . Screen Text Range RUDD GAIN 1 to 9 Counter rudder Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the SPX system applies to try to prevent the boat from yawing off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more rudder being applied. The default counter rudder gain is set as part of the initial seatrial AutoLearn process (see page 12). Screen Text Range COUNT RUD 1 to 9 (Do NOT set to 0) Rudder damping If the SPX system ‘hunts’ when trying to position the rudder, adjust the rudder damping value to minimize this. Increasing the rudder damping value reduces hunting. Increase the damping one level at a time until the autopilot stops hunting, and always use the lowest acceptable value. Screen Text Range RUDD DAMP 1 to 9 81307_2.book Page 29 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 8:34 AM Chapter 2: SPX system settings 29 AutoTrim The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the SPX system applies ‘standing helm’ to correct for trim changes caused by varying wind loads on the sails or superstructure. The default AutoTrim is set as part of the AutoLearn process (see page 12). If you need to change the setting, increase the AutoTrim one level at a time and use the lowest acceptable value: • If the SPX system gives unstable course keeping or excessive drive activity with a change in the heel angle, decrease the AutoTrim level. • If the SPX system reacts slowly to a heading change due to a change in the heel angle, increase the AutoTrim level. • If the AutoTrim level is too high, the boat will be less stable and snake around the desired course. Setting Effect AUTO TRIM OFF No trim correction AUTO TRIM 1 to 4 Auto trim applied: 1 = Slowest, 4 = Fastest Response level This sets the default SPX system response level setting. The response level controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity.
