System Components
The 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 batteries
The 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.

You can change your boat type in the autopilot
setup pages - See page 20
Quick Tip
Your S1000 can steer your boat according to one of its preset modes.
The modes that are available depend on your boat type. Each of these
are explained on the following pages.
As your S1000 uses a Course-over-Ground (COG) reading from your
GPS to determine the correct heading, you will need to ensure that
you have travelled at over 3 knots, for more than 30 seconds before
you activate the autopilot.

What is Rudder Gain?
Quick Tip
Boats 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 steering
response in calm sea conditions

To determine if your rudder gain is appropriate, make a 40º turn in AUTO

Gain 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)

What is Counter Rudder?
Quick Tip You will find it easier to recognize the steering
response in calm sea conditions
Counter 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.

To determine if your counter rudder setting is appropriate, make a 90º turn

Counter 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 course
Counter Rudder is too low when the boat overshoots the turn.

24 User Guide
What 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 accuracy
levels 4 to 6 should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled
turns under normal operating conditions
level 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.

S1000 Alarm messages
When the S1000 detects a fault or failure on the system, it will activate one
of the alarm messages listed in the following table.
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.
ALARM MESSAGE POSSIBLE CAUSE and SOLUTION
CURRENT LIMIT Serious drive failure – the drive is taking too much
current due to short-circuit or jamming. Check the
drive unit and wiring.
DRIVE STOPPED The autopilot is unable to turn the rudder (this
occurs if the weather load on helm is too high.
Check drive.
INITIALISING This alarm occurs if you try to activate the pilot
before it is ready. Your boat must be run at more
than 3 knots for longer than 30 seconds before acti-
vating the pilot.
LARGE XTE This alarm will sound when you are more than
0.3nm from your planned track. The alarm will also
state if you are to PORT or STARBOARD of the track,
LRN FAIL 1, 2 or 4 AutoLearn not completed successfully.
Failure codes:
1 = AutoLearn has not been carried out
2 = AutoLearn failed, usually due to manual inter-
ruption
4 = AutoLearn failed, possibly due to drive failure
Repeat the AutoLearn procedure.
MOT POW SWAPPED Motor cables are connected to power terminals
(and power cables are connected to motor termi-
nals) at course computer. Turn off power and swap
over connections.

General maintenance
Routine checks
The 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 necessary
Cleaning the S1000 and S100
Take 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 Procedures
This 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
User Guide 31
Subsequent presses of mode will cycle through the various calibration
options.
Hardware and Software version numbers
Use this option to display the current hardware revision and the software
version numbers for the S1000 and S100. At VERSIONS, press the PILOT
key to display the information.
Contrast
Press PILOT if you wish to change the display contrast. Then, use the left
and right navigation buttons to adjust the contrast and press STANDBY to
save the setting.
Self test
Press PILOT to start the unit test sequence and then follow the on-screen
instructions. This will test the display, buzzer and button functions.
Diagnostics
Press PILOT to display the status of the wireless link.
Handset Registration
Raymarine wireless systems demand that each wireless controller is
“registered” to a basestation, in this case a S1000. 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.

WARNING: Navigation aid
Although 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 controller
If 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. Make proper allowance for tidal set –
the autopilot cannot.
• Even when your autopilot is locked onto the desired track using a
navigation aid, always maintain a log and make regular
positional plots. Navigation signals can produce significant
