Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Autohelm ST30 Compass.
The compass displays heading information directly from the fluxgate
compass or, if the unit is used as a repeater, via the SeaTalk bus using
data taken from another compass instrument or autopilot.
The compass can also be used as a steering indicator to maintain a
given course. Any helmsmans error, to port or starboard, is indicated by
a bargraph at the bottom of the display. This mode is known as “Lock”
mode.

Important Information
All Autohelm equipment and accessories are designed to the highest standard
for use in the leisure marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the latest Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but good 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. To avoid the risk of
EMC problems, all Autohelm equipment and cables connected to it should be;
❏ At least 1m (3 feet) 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 2m (7ft).
❏ At least 20m (66 feet) from large vessels equipped with radar.
❏ More than 2m (7 feet) from the direct path of a radar beam.
The following points should also be noted;
❏ Genuine Autohelm cables should be used at all times. Cutting and rejoining
these cables can compromise EMC performance and so should be
avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
❏ Autohelm equipment should be serviced only by authorised Autohelm
service engineers. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect EMC performance. There are no user
serviceable parts in any Autohelm product.
❏ Voltage drops below 10v in the power supply to our products can cause
the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment but will cause
the loss of some information and can change the operating mode. This
most frequently happens during engine starting, and so to reduce the risk
of this occurring, it is recommended that the equipment is supplied from a
different battery than the one used for engine start.
❏ Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/
connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
❏ Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not
affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
❏ In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from
being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the
equipment but can lead to it resetting, or momentarily result in faulty
operation.
Please keep these notes for future reference.

The fluxgate compass should, ideally, be sited on a forward facing
bulkhead with the Autohelm logo facing forwards. The compass should
also be as close to the pitch and roll centre of the vessel as possible and
sited (at least 0.8m) away from iron masses that cause deviation.

1. With a hand bearing compass fixed to the proposed bulkhead, turn
your vessel through 360° and check that the difference between the
hand bearing compass and the ships compass does not exceed 10°
on any heading. If difference does exceed 10° you will have to select a
new location.
2. Once you have selected a suitable location, attach the fluxgate
compass to the bulkhead using the four self-tapping screws provided.
3. Make sure that the fluxgate compass is correctly orientated. That is,
the arrow and the word UP embossed into the compass flange is
pointing skywards and the top of the flange is level - the fluxgate
compass will not operate if it is installed incorrectly.

The ST30 Compass should be installed above or below deck where it is:
❏ easily read by the helmsman (normally viewed at eye level)
❏ protected from physical damage
❏ at least 230mm (9in) from the ships compass
❏ at least 500mm (20in) from radio receiving equipment
❏ accessible from behind for ease of installation and cable running

Notes...
To prevent the build-up of moisture, the display head breathes through the
back cover. The display head must, therefore, be mounted where the
back cover is protected from direct contact with water.
The rear case is fitted with a foam gasket to form a water-tight seal
between the display head and the installation bulkhead. Under no circumstances must silicone sealants be applied to this gasket.

is smooth, flat, and clean.
2. Use the fitting template (supplied) to mark the centres for the two
fixing studs and the display head cable boss.

Please note...
To allow for the fitting of protective covers, adjacent instruments
must have a 6mm (1/4in) gap between them (116mm centre to
centre min.).
3. Drill two 5mm (0.2in) diameter holes for the fixing studs (2).
4. Using a 60mm (2.375in) diameter cutter, drill a location hole for the

Chapter 3: Calibration
3.1 About this Chapter
Before the ST30 Compass system can be used as a navigational aid, the
fluxgate compass MUST be linearised to compensate for deviation and the
displayed heading MUST be aligned to a known transit bearing.
Other calibration features allow you to adjust the speed at which the
heading and heading error displays are updated.

3.2 User Calibration
User calibration contains features to perform compass linearisation and
heading alignment.

Manual Compass Linearisation
For first-time installation, the fluxgate compass must be manually
linearised to compensate for deviation.

3.3 Linearisation and Heading Alignment when
used with a SportPilot
Because the Autohelm SportPilot does not have a digital read-out, the
ST30 Compass can be used to repeat heading information received from
SportPilot fluxgate compass.
To display accurate heading information, the SportPilot fluxgate compass
must be linearised and then aligned to a known transit bearing as described in section 3.2.

Please note...
When the ST30 Compass is used with a SportPilot system, the SportPilot
must have a fluxgate compass connected to it.

This chapter describes the operational features of the ST30 Compass
using sample displays and text references.

Points to remember...
All key presses are confirmed by a single beep. This audible confirmation
cannot be turned off.
The ST30 Compass cannot receive or transmit NMEA data directly.
If linearisation has not been carried out, the small CAL legend flashes for 1
minute every time the ST30 Compass is powered up. The accuracy of the
heading display cannot be guaranteed until linearisation has been
completed.

4.2 Heading Mode
