User Guide 5System ComponentsThe S1000 system is comprised of a Course Computer, Controller and Hydraulic Pump. Please ensure that these have been installed and commissioned correctly using the S1000 Installation Guide. Finally, check that your system is receiving a good GPS signal through the NMEA or SeaTalk connection. Changing the Controller batteriesThe S100 Controller is powered by 2 AAA batteries which are located in the back of the unit. Ensure that only good quality alkaline batteries are used. Do not use rechargeable batteries.A small cross-head screwdriver will be required to undo the battery cover screws.Remove the batteries from the unit if you do not intend using it for more than a month.Follow the battery manufacturers’s instructions for proper care and disposal of used batteries.D7640-1S100ControllerHydraulicPumpS1000 CourseComputerD7641-181245_1.fm Page 5 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:49 PM

22 User GuideWhat is Rudder Gain?Quick TipBoats can vary widely in their response to helm, and by adjusting the rudder gain you can change the S1000's steering characteristics. Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the S1000 applies to correct course errors – higher settings mean more rudder is applied. This can be set in the range 1 to 9.You will find it easier to recognize the steeringresponse in calm sea conditionsNewheadingNewheadingANewheadingBCorrectrudder gainRudder gaintoo highRudder gaintoo lowTo determine if your rudder gain is appropriate, make a 40º turn in AUTO modeGain is correct when you make a crisp turn followed by an overshoot of no more than 5˚.Gain is too high when you overshoot the turn by more than 5˚ and there is a distinct ‘S’ in the course (A) Gain is too low when the boat’s performance is sluggish and it takes a long time to make a turn. There is also no overshoot (B)D7654-181245_1.fm Page 22 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:49 PM
User Guide 23What is Counter Rudder?Quick Tip You will find it easier to recognize the steeringresponse in calm sea conditionsCounter rudder is the amount of rudder your S1000 applies to try to prevent the boat from veering off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more rudder being applied. This can be set in the range 1 to 9.NewheadingNewheadingANewheadingBCorrectCounter RudderCounter Ruddertoo highCounter Ruddertoo lowTo determine if your counter rudder setting is appropriate, make a 90º turn in AUTO modeCounter Rudder is correct when you make a a smooth continuous turn with minimal overshoot. Counter Rudder is too high when the boat ‘fights’ the turn and makes a series of short, sharp turns resulting in a very ‘mechanical’ feel as the boat changes courseCounter Rudder is too low when the boat overshoots the turn.D7655-181245_1.fm Page 23 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:49 PM
24 User GuideWhat is Response?This sets the S1000 response level setting. The response level controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. Range is from 1 to 9.level 1 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This conserves power, but may compromise short-term course-keeping accuracylevels 4 to 6 should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled turns under normal operating conditionslevel 9 gives the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open waters as the pilot may ‘fight’ the sea.What is Auto Trim?The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the S1000 applies ‘standing helm’ to correct for trim changes caused by varying wind loads on the superstructure.The default AutoTrim is set during the autolearn process:If you need to change the setting, increase the AutoTrim one level at a time and use the lowest acceptable value:• decrease the AutoTrim level if the S1000 gives unstable course keeping or producing a long ‘S’ in the wake.• increase the AutoTrim level if the S1000 reacts slowly to a heading change and hangs off course.81245_1.fm Page 24 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:49 PM

Unless otherwise stated, you should respond to the alarm by pressing standby to clear the alarm and return to manual control, before you attempt to resolve the problem. In some situations, the S1000 will raise more than one alarm. When you have dealt with the first alarm, it will display the next alarm.

30 User GuideGeneral maintenanceRoutine checksThe S1000 computer and S100 controller do NOT contain user-serviceable parts. If you remove the main cover you will invalidate the warranty. It should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine service technician. As a result, user maintenance is limited to the following checks• make sure all cable connectors are firmly attached and free of corrosion• examine for signs of wear or damage – replace any damaged cables• replace batteries when necessaryCleaning the S1000 and S100Take care when cleaning the display. Avoid wiping the display screen with a dry cloth as this could scratch the screen coating. If necessary, only use a mild detergent.Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the computer or controller. If it is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.Dealer Maintenance ProceduresThis section includes procedures that have a significant impact on autopilot operation and can affect your boat’s safety. You will not need to follow these procedures in normal operation. We therefore recommend that these are only performed by authorized service personnel.Accessing the dealer calibration area.From STANDBY mode, press and hold STANDBY for 2 seconds to enter PILOT SETUP.Then press and hold mode for 5 seconds until the dealer calibration screen is displayed.81245_1.fm Page 30 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:49 PM

This registration process is to prevent unauthorized control of your boat by another user nearby. Your S1000 system is supplied with the handset pre-registered to the S1000.There may be instances where you want to move your controller to another boat and use it with another system. In this case, you will need to de-register from the current system and register with the new system. You can do this using the REGISTRATION function.Note: For best results always perform registration and de-registration with the S100 handset close to the S100081245_1.fm Page 31 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:49 PM

User Guide 35Safety NoticesIn-line power switchShould you need to power off the autopilot quickly, use the in-line power switch. Product installationThis equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/or damage to your boat. Before installing the S1000 computer and drive unit, check that they are the correct voltage for your boat’s supply. As correct performance of the boat’s steering is critical for safety, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that an Authorized Raymarine Service Representative fits this product. WARNING: Electrical SafetyMake sure the power supply is switched off before you make any electrical connections. WARNING: CalibrationWe supply this product calibrated to default settings that should provide initial stable performance for most boats.

36 User GuideWARNING: Navigation aidAlthough we have designed this product to be accurate and reliable, many factors can affect its performance. As a result, it should only be used as an aid to navigation and should never replace common sense and navigational judgement. Always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they develop. WARNING: Autopilot controllerIf the wireless controller is your only method of operating the autopilot, ensure that an in-line power switch is fitted to the autopilot power supply as detailed in the S1000 autopilot installation guide.Your S1000 will add a new dimension to your boating enjoyment. However, it is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the boat at all times by following these basic rules:• Ensure that someone is present at the helm AT ALL TIMES, to take manual control in an emergency.• Make sure that all members of crew know how to disengage the autopilot.• Regularly check for other boats and any obstacles to navigation – no matter how clear the sea may appear, a dangerous situation can develop rapidly.• Maintain an accurate record of the boat’s position by using either a navigation aid or visual bearings.• Maintain a continuous plot of your boat’s position on a current chart. Ensure that the locked autopilot heading will steer the boat clear of all obstacles.
