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 appears, 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 errors under some circumstances and the autopilot will not be able to detect these errors.

It is designed as the main controller for the SmartPilot system. The SmartPilot controller operates in the following modes: • Standby: SmartPilot off. You have manual control of the boat. • Auto: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a locked heading. • Track: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a track between two waypoints created on a navigation aid. • Wind Vane: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a course relative to a true or apparent wind angle. The SmartPilot controller also provides: • automatic tack (AutoTack) in Auto and Wind Vane modes. • waypoint advance feature in Track mode. SmartPilot Functions The functions provided with your SmartPilot system depend on whether the SmartPilot computer contains an internal GyroPlus yaw sensor. 81269_1.book Page 2 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 2 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide : S1G, S2G and S3G systems (with GyroPlus) Non-G systems (without GyroPlus) Internal GyroPlus yaw sensor provides Full basic functionality: uses Raymarine enhanced course keeping using AST steering algorithm without AST (Advanced Steering Technology) Steering to true and apparent wind in Wind Vane mode Steering to true and apparent wind in Wind Vane mode Equipped with AutoLearn, Raymarine’s self-learning calibration system Extended systems You can connect the SmartPilot controller to other Raymarine SeaTalk equipment so it can send and receive SeaTalk data: • it can use waypoint information from a SeaTalk navigation instrument to provide track control. • it can use boat speed from a SeaTalk speed instrument to optimize track-keeping performance. • it can use wind information from a SeaTalk wind instrument for Wind Vane steering. You can also use the SmartPilot with any navigator or wind instrument that transmits National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 data. The SmartPilot control unit can display SeaTalk and NMEA instrument data in a user-defined selection of data pages. For further information on other connections to your system see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide. 1.2 Using the control unit Switching on and off All the time that power is applied to the SmartPilot controller, you can use the disp button to switch the instrument off and on as follows: • To switch the SmartPilot controller off, ensure it is in the Standby mode, then hold down the disp button for approximately 5 seconds. After this time, a switch off count down of 4 seconds occurs. Keep the disp button pressed during this period, to switch off the instrument. • To switch the instrument back on, hold down the disp button for approximately 1 second. 81269_1.book Page 3 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation 3 When the power supply is switched off, the SmartPilot controller buttons have no effect. Notes: (1) Each time power to the SmartPilot controller is switched on, the control- disp ler is initially in the on condition. You do not need to use the button to switch the controller on. (2) When the SmartPilot controller is on, the operation of the disp button will perform other operating functions, as described below. Start-up mode The SmartPilot always powers up in Standby mode with the display showing the boat’s current compass heading. Note: You can press standby at any time to return to manual steering. Keypad functions The SmartPilot is controlled using simple push-button operations, all of which are confirmed with a short beep. In addition to the main single-button functions, there are several dual-button operations. -1 plus -10 Press together for AutoTack to port -1 plus +1 Press for Response level Press for 1 second for Rudder Gain DISP Press to display data pages Press for 1 second for lamp adjust Press for 3 seconds for contrast adjust Press for 9 seconds (in Standby mode) for power down When powered down, press for 1 second to power up STANDBY Press for Standby mode Press for 2 seconds to enter Calibration mode Course change keys Port 1˚ Starboard 1˚ Port 10˚ Starboard 10˚ +1 plus +10 Press together for AutoTack to starboard TRACK Press for Track mode from Auto (if a navigator is connected) Press to accept waypoint advance Press for 1 second to skip waypoint AUTO Press for Auto mode STANDBY plus AUTO Press for Wind Vane mode (if a wind vane is connected) D5449-3 81269_1.book Page 4 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 4 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide What does the display tell me? The SmartPilot display screen provides the following information: Variable text region (up to 9 characters/digits) nm SM MAG TRUE Distance units: • no units = kilometres • nm = nautical miles • SM = statute miles Heading indicators Port and Starboard direction-to-steer indicators Rudder position indicator D5457-3 The bar graph at the bottom of the screen indicates the current position of the rudder, as measured by the rudder position sensor. 1.3 Using the SmartPilot to steer your boat CAUTION: Maintain a permanent watch Automatic course control makes it easier to sail a boat, but it is NOT a substitute for good seamanship. ALWAYS maintain a permanent watch by the helm. How do I automatically steer to a heading? 1. Steady the boat on the required heading. 2. Press auto. The SmartPilot is now in AUTO mode and will steer to the chosen heading, shown on the display. This mode is often known as “point-and-shoot”. 81269_1.book Page 5 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation 5 TRUE D3560-6 How do I return to hand steering? Press standby to disengage the SmartPilot: • in STANDBY mode, you have manual control of the boat and the display shows the boat’s current compass heading. TRUE D3561-6 How do I change course in Auto mode? In Auto mode, use the -1 and -10 (port) and +1 and +10 (starboard) buttons to change the locked heading in steps of 1° or 10°. For example: press -10 three times for a 30° course change to port. Port Starboard or or D3320-3 81269_1.book Page 6 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 6 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide Can I dodge an obstacle and then resume course? To avoid an obstacle when your boat is under autopilot control, you can dodge the obstacle and then resume your previous course. Obstacle Original course Dodge D3303-3P 1. Select a course change in the appropriate direction. For example, press -10 three times for a 30°dodge to port. 2. When safely clear of the obstacle, reverse the previous course change (for example, press +10 three times). 1.4 How do I adjust the performance of my SmartPilot? The principal method of adjusting the performance of SmartPilot systems is by changing the response level. This is the only user adjustment you should need to make to your SmartPilot on a regular basis. The response level controls the relationship between the SmartPilot’s course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. When you turn on your SmartPilot it will always be at the default level. (This level can be adjusted in User Calibration see page 24) When you require extra tight course keeping (e.g. for pilotage in confined and sheltered waters), increase the setting. If you want to minimize drive activity and conserve battery power, decrease the setting. You can make temporary adjustments to the response level when using your SmartPilot on a day-to-day basis. By doing this you can match performance to conditions as they occur. 81269_1.book Page 7 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation 7 Note: You will lose these temporary changes to response level whenever the system is powered off. You can make permanent adjustments in User Calibration (See page 24). This determines the default power-up response level. Adjusting performance – S1G, S2G and S3G systems S1G, S2G and S3G systems have 9 levels of response: • level 9 to 7 give the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open waters as the SmartPilot may ‘fight’ the sea. • levels 6 to 4 should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled turns under normal operating conditions. • level 3 to 1 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This conserves power, but may compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy. With these points in mind, you should use the following procedure to make temporary adjustments to the response level when required: 1. Display the RESPONSE screen by pressing the -1 and +1 buttons together momentarily. Note: The RESPONSE screen is set as a default data page (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide) so you can also access it by pressing disp and then scrolling through the data pages. 2. Press -1 or +1 to change the response level. Decrease response Increase response D5452-3 3. Press disp or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display. Adjusting performance – Non-G systems Non-G SmartPilot systems have three different response levels: • Response Level 1: AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband) The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat movements and only react to true variations in course. This provides the best compromise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy. 81269_1.book Page 8 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 8 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide • Response Level 2: AutoSeastate off (Minimum deadband) This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to increased power consumption and drive unit activity. • Response Level 3: AutoSeastate off + yaw damping This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by introducing counter rudder yaw damping You can adjust the counter rudder setting in Dealer Calibration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide). To make a temporary change to the response setting: 1. Display the RESPONSE screen by pressing the -1 and +1 buttons together. 2. Press -1 or +1 to change the response between levels 1 to 3. 3. Press disp or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display. Note: You will lose these temporary changes to response level whenever the system is powered off. You can make permanent adjustments in User Calibration (see page 24). Off Course warning = deviation to port = deviation to starboard D3315-5 The SmartPilot warns you when you have been off course from the locked heading for longer than 20 seconds. It shows whether the deviation is to port or starboard. Note: The default off course angle is set at 20º. You can adjust this angle in Dealer Calibration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide). 1. To cancel the off course warning, press standby to return to manual steering. 2. Check whether your boat is carrying too much sail, or whether the sails are badly balanced. You can usually significantly improve course keeping by improving the sail balance. Note: The SmartPilot also clears the warning if the heading recovers or if you change course. 81269_1.book Page 9 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation 9 1.5 Using the SmartPilot with sail boats Using the SmartPilot to automatically tack (AutoTack) CAUTION: Allow time for course changes When making major course changes, the trim on the boat may change substantially. Due to this, the SmartPilot may take some time to settle accurately onto the new course. The SmartPilot has a built in automatic tack facility (AutoTack) that turns the boat through 100° in the required direction. If you have set the vessel type to SAIL BOAT, you can adjust the default AutoTack angle in User Calibration (see page 23). • to AutoTack to port: press the -1 and -10 buttons together • to AutoTack to starboard: press the +1 and +10 buttons together AutoTack - Port AutoTack - Starboard Wind Wind AutoTack angle AutoTack angle D5399-1 How do I prevent accidental gybes? The gybe inhibit feature stops the boat from performing an AutoTack away from the wind – this will prevent accidental gybes. This feature can be disabled if required (see page 23). Note: For the gybe inhibit feature to work, the SmartPilot needs suitable wind informa- tion. With gybe inhibit on: • you will be able to perform an AutoTack into the wind. • the autopilot will prevent the boat from performing an AutoTack away from the wind, to prevent accidental gybes. 81269_1.book Page 10 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 10 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide With gybe inhibit off: • you can perform an AutoTack into or away from the wind. Note: Gybe inhibit is switched on as a default but can be disabled in User Calibration (see page 34). Gusty conditions In gusty conditions, the course may tend to wander slightly, particularly if the sails are badly balanced. If you take the following precautions, the SmartPilot will be able to maintain competent control even in gale force conditions: • You can improve course keeping by improving the sail balance: • do not allow the boat to heel over excessively. • ease the mainsheet traveller to leeward to reduce heeling and weather helm. • if necessary, reef the mainsail a little early. • In very strong winds and large seas, you should avoid sailing with the wind dead astern: • ideally, bring the wind at least 30° away from a dead run. • in severe conditions, you may also need to remove the mainsail and sail under headsail only. 1.6 Can I adjust the display lighting& contrast? How do I adjust the lights? You can adjust the display and keypad lighting by: 1. Pressing disp for 1 second from any mode to access the LAMP screen and turn on the lights. . 1 second D3313-5 81269_1.book Page 11 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation 11 2. Press the disp button to cycle through the possible illumination settings: LAMP 3 (the brightest setting), LAMP 2, LAMP 1, OFF, LAMP 1, LAMP 2, LAMP 3 and so on: • as you change the setting, the illumination on any other SeaTalk instruments or control units will also change. 3. The display automatically returns to the previous mode if you do not press a button for 10 seconds: • if you press another mode button within 10 seconds you will select the mode assigned to that button (for example: auto selects Auto mode, standby selects Standby mode). Notes: (1) You can also adjust the lighting level from any other SeaTalk instrument or control unit. (2) When you switch off the unit you lose any changes you have made to the lighting level. How do I adjust the contrast? To set the display contrast level: 1. With the autopilot in Standby mode, press the disp button for one second to access the LAMP screen. 2. Press the disp button for one second again, to display the CONTRAST screen. 3. Use the up and down arrow buttons to set the required contrast level (from 1 to 15). 4. The display automatically returns to the previous mode if you do not press a button for 10 seconds: Note: if you press another mode button within 10 seconds you will select the mode assigned to that button (for example: auto selects Auto mode, standby selects Standby mode). 81269_1.book Page 12 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 12 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide 81269_1.book Page 13 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 13 Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 2.1 How do I follow a route set on a Chartplotter? CAUTION: Safety in Track mode Track mode provides accurate track keeping even in complex navigational situations. However, it is still the skipper’s responsibility to ensure the safety of their boat at all times through careful navigation and frequent position checks. Track mode assists precise navigation and removes the tasks of compensating for wind and tidal drift. However, you MUST still maintain an accurate log with regular plots. In Track mode, the SmartPilot maintains a route between waypoints created on a navigation system. It makes any course changes necessary to keep your boat on course, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway. Track mode is available only if you have connected the SmartPilot to a suitable navigation system providing SeaTalk or NMEA information. (See SmartPilot Commissioning Guide for connection details) Your SmartPilot system can receive route information from: • a SeaTalk navigation instrument or chartplotter. • a navigation system transmitting data in NMEA 0183 format. How do I activate Track mode? CAUTION: Make suitable preparations for entering track mode When you enter Track mode, the SmartPilot will bring the boat onto the track in a controlled way. The closer the boat is to the correct heading and track, the quicker it will settle the boat onto the new course. To avoid an unexpected turn, align the boat approximately with the required track before entering Track mode. Starting with the SmartPilot in AUTO mode and your chartplotter following a route. 1. Press track to enter Track mode. 2. Wait for the warning to sound. The display will show the bearing to the next planned waypoint and the direction in which the boat will turn to reach this waypoint. 81269_1.book Page 14 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 14 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide 3. If it is safe for the boat to turn onto the new course, press the track button: • the SmartPilot will turn the boat onto the new course. • the display will show the heading required to achieve the required track. Notes: (1) The rate of turn when in Track mode is set using the TURN RATE cali- bration setting. Adjust this as appropriate for optimum comfort. (2) If the boat is more than 0.3 nm from the track, the Large Cross Track Error warning will sound (see page 14). Automatic track acquisition Waypoint at 270˚ Waypoint at 270˚ Current heading Previous heading TRUE From auto mode, press track to enter Track mode . . . . . . then press track again to turn boat to waypoint. D5414-4 TRUE How do I leave Track mode? You can leave Track mode at any time by: • pressing auto to return to Auto mode. • pressing standby to steer manually in Standby mode. What is Cross track error? Cross track error (XTE) is the distance between the current position and a planned route. The SmartPilot receives the cross track error information from the navigation equipment, and displays the XTE in nautical miles (nm), statute miles (SM) or kilometres (km). If the cross track error is greater than 0.3 nm, the SmartPilot will sound the Large Cross Track Error warning and show whether you are to the port (Pt) or starboard (Stb) of the planned track. 81269_1.book Page 15 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 15 Cross track error (XTE) more than 0.3 nm Waypoint 2 ute l ro ua Act ute d ro ne lan D5415-4 P Waypoint 1 Tidal stream compensation Under most conditions, the SmartPilot will hold the selected track to within ±0.05 nm (300 ft) or better. It takes account of the boat’s speed when computing course changes to ensure optimum performance. Waypoint 2 Boat's speed over ground Tidal component Boat's speed through water Waypoint 1 D3261-4 How do I dodge an obstacle in Track mode? In Track mode you still have full control from the keypad.You can make a dodge maneuver by using the course change buttons (-1, +1, -10 or +10) to select the desired course change. On making a dodge maneuver, the autopilot will revert to AUTO mode. Once you are safely past the obstacle, reinitiate Track mode to continue on your planned route. 81269_1.book Page 16 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 16 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide What happens when I arrive at a waypoint? As the boat arrives at the target waypoint the chartplotter will select the next target waypoint and transmit this to the SmartPilot. It will then detect the new target waypoint name, sound a Waypoint Advance warning and display the Waypoint Advance (NEXT WPT) screen. This shows the new bearing to the next waypoint and the direction the boat will turn to acquire the new track. Waypoint arrival and advance Next target Waypoint at 270˚ New target waypoint at 270˚ Old target Waypoint Target Waypoint TRUE Waypoint arrival Waypoint advance D5416-4 TRUE How do I get to the next waypoint in a route? When the Waypoint Advance warning sounds, the SmartPilot suspends Track mode and maintains the current boat heading.To advance to the next waypoint: 1. Check that it is safe to turn onto the new track. 2. Press the track button. This will cancel the Waypoint Advance warning and turn the boat towards the next waypoint. Note: If you do not press track to accept the Waypoint Advance, the SmartPilot will maintain the current heading and continue sounding the warning. How do I skip a waypoint? (SeaTalk chartplotters) If you want to advance to the next waypoint before you have arrived at the target waypoint, you can skip a waypoint by pressing track for 1 second. The display will then show the Waypoint Advance screen for the next waypoint. Check it is safe to turn, then press track to turn the boat towards the next waypoint. 81269_1.book Page 17 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 17 WARNING: Ensure navigation safety Skipping a waypoint will take you straight to the next waypoint. Check your navigation before making the turn. What is the Waypoint Advance warning? The SmartPilot activates the Waypoint Advance warning (NEXT WPT?) in Track mode whenever the target waypoint name changes. This occurs when: • you select automatic acquisition by pressing track from Auto • you request waypoint advance by pressing track for 1 second in Track mode (with SeaTalk navigators only) • the boat arrives at the target and the navigator accepts the next waypoint • you activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function (see page 22) When the warning sounds, the SmartPilot continues on its current heading but displays: • the bearing to the next waypoint • the direction the boat will turn to take up that bearing How do I respond to a Waypoint Advance warning? To respond to a Waypoint Advance warning: • check that it is safe to turn onto the new track, then press track to accept the waypoint advance • alternatively, you can cancel the warning without accepting the waypoint advance by pressing: • auto to continue on the same heading, or • standby to return to manual control What happens when I get to the end of the route? The SmartPilot displays the ROUTE COMPLETED warning when you have reached the last waypoint on a route in Track mode. • press auto to continue on the same heading. • or press standby to return to manual control. 81269_1.book Page 18 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 18 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide 2.2 Using Wind Vane mode – sail boats Note: You can only select Wind Vane mode if the SmartPilot is receiving suitable SeaTalk or NMEA wind direction information. What is Wind Vane mode? When the SmartPilot is in Wind Vane mode it uses the fluxgate compass as the primary heading reference. As changes in the true or apparent wind angle occur, it adjusts the locked heading to maintain the original wind angle. Wind information To use Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot must receive wind information from one of the following sources: • SeaTalk wind instrument connected to the autopilot via SeaTalk • NMEA wind instrument • Raymarine pushpit wind vane connected via a SeaTalk interface True and apparent wind SmartPilots can maintain a course relative to either an apparent or true wind angle in Wind Vane mode The default setting is apparent wind. If required, you can change this to true wind in User Calibration (see page 24). WindTrim In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot uses WindTrim to eliminate the effects of turbulence and short term wind variations. This provides smooth and precise performance with minimal power consumption. You can adjust the wind response (WindTrim) level in User Calibration (see page 24) to control how quickly the SmartPilot responds to changes in the wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind changes. How do I select Wind Vane mode? You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or Auto mode: 1. Steady the boat onto the required wind angle. 2. Press standby and auto together to select Wind Vane mode and lock the current wind angle: • the display shows the locked heading (e.g. 128°) and the wind angle (e.g. WIND 145P indicates an wind angle of 145° to port) 81269_1.book Page 19 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 19 • if the SmartPilot does not enter Wind Vane mode, it is not receiving wind data - check the instrument and connections + MAG D3565-6 3. In Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot will then adjust the boat’s heading to maintain the locked wind angle. How do I leave Wind Vane mode? You can leave Wind Vane mode by: • pressing auto to return to Auto mode. • pressing standby to return to manual control. How do I adjust the locked wind angle You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 buttons to change course. For example, to bear away by 10° when the boat is on a starboard tack: • press -10 to turn the boat 10° to port – the locked wind angle and locked heading will both change by 10°. • the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain the new wind angle. Note: Because turning the boat affects the relationship between the true and apparent wind angles, you should only use this method to make minor adjustments to the wind angle. For major changes, return to Standby mode, steer onto the new heading, then reselect Wind Vane mode. How do I dodge an obstacle in Wind Vane mode? In Wind Vane mode you still have full control from the keypad. You can make a dodge maneuver by using the course change buttons (-1, +1, -10 or +10) to select the desired course change. After you have avoided the hazard, you can cancel the dodge course change by making an equal course change in the opposite direction. 81269_1.book Page 20 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 20 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide What is a Wind Shift warning? If the autopilot detects a wind shift of more than 15° it will sound the wind shift warning and display the WIND SHIFT message: • To cancel the warning, and retain the existing wind angle and new heading, press standby and auto together. • Alternatively, to cancel the warning and return to the previous heading: • adjust the locked wind angle using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 buttons. • press standby to return to hand steering, steer onto the required heading, and press standby and auto together to return to Wind Vane mode with the new wind angle. How do I use AutoTack in Wind Vane mode? Note: If you use the AutoTack function in Wind Vane mode, make sure the wind vane has been centered accurately. The SmartPilot has a built in automatic tack facility (AutoTack) that turns the boat through 100° in the required direction: • to AutoTack to port: press the -1 and -10 buttons together. • to AutoTack to starboard: press the +1 and +10 buttons together. AutoTack - Port AutoTack - Starboard Wind Wind AutoTack angle AutoTack angle D5399-2 Note: If you have set the vessel type to SAIL BOAT, you can adjust the default Auto- Tack angle in User Calibration (see page 23). When you AutoTack in Wind Vane mode, the boat turns through the AutoTack angle. The SmartPilot will then trim the heading to mirror the locked wind angle from the previous tack. 81269_1.book Page 21 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 21 Operating hints for Wind Vane mode • Always trim your sails carefully to minimize the amount of standing helm. • Reef the headsail and mainsail a little early rather than too late. • In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot will react to long-term wind shifts, but will not correct for short-term changes such as gusts. • In gusty and unsteady inshore conditions, it is best to sail a few degrees further off the wind so that changes in wind direction can be tolerated. 2.3 How do I display boat data? Use the disp button to show ‘data pages’ of SeaTalk or NMEA data: 1. Press disp to access the first data page, and press it again to cycle through each data page in turn: • when you cycle past the last data page, the display returns to the current SmartPilot mode screen (for example, AUTO). • 4 data pages are set in the factory as a default (see diagram): within User setup you can select up to 15 pages and control the information they display (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide). Notes: (1) If the SmartPilot system cannot obtain the required information, the data page will show dashes instead of a value. (2) The direction-to-steer arrows relate to the data page information. (3) Most data pages show repeated data so you cannot adjust them: the exceptions are the RESPONSE and RUDDER GAIN data pages, which you can adjust using the -1 and +1 buttons Default data pages Data page 4 Data page 1 Autopilot mode Data page 3 Press for 1 sec to return to previous data page Data page 2 D5455-3 81269_1.book Page 22 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 22 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide Can I display Waypoint names? If waypoints have been given names, the SmartPilot controller will display them on the Cross Track Error (XTE), Bearing To Waypoint (BTW) and Distance To Waypoint (DTW) data pages: • waypoint names of five characters or less are displayed together with the page name (as shown by screen A below). • waypoint names of more than five characters alternate with the page name (as shown by screen B below). • if the waypoint name has more than nine characters, the display only shows the first nine characters. TRUE TRUE TRUE A B D8561-1 Warning messages Shallow warning (SHALLOW) The SmartPilot shows the Shallow warning if it receives a shallow depth message from an instrument on the SeaTalk system. Press standby or disp to cancel the warning. Man Overboard warning (MOB) The SmartPilot activates the Man Overboard warning if it receives a man overboard (MOB) message from another instrument on the SeaTalk system. It displays the text MOB instead of the waypoint number for the XTE, DTW and BTW data pages. 2.4 User Calibration Options The calibration information in this handbook relates to only those settings that can be adjusted during normal operation (USER CAL). For information on all available calibration settings, see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide. Note: Many of the settings are sailboat specific and will only be displayed if your vessel type is set to SAILBOAT. 81269_1.book Page 23 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 23 How do I access User Calibration settings? You can only access the calibration mode from Standby mode: 1. With the SmartPilot in Standby mode, press and hold the standby button for 2 seconds. The display will change to show DISPLAY CAL. 2. Press the disp button once, the display will now show USER CAL. 3. Press auto to enter User Calibration. The first page of User Calibration will now be displayed. 4. To access other User Calibration pages, press disp to scroll down through the items within that grouping: 5. When you reach an item you wish to adjust, use the -1, +1, -10 and +10 buttons (as appropriate) to change the value. 6. When you have made all the changes you want to make, press and hold standby for two seconds to exit calibration mode and save changes. User Calibration pages AutoTack angle (SAILBOAT only) The AutoTack angle is the angle through which the boat will turn when you select an automatic tack. Screen Text Options AUTO TACK 40° to 125° in 1° steps Gybe inhibit (SAILBOAT only) With gybe inhibit on: • you will be able to perform an AutoTack into the wind • to prevent accidental gybes, the SmartPilot will prevent the boat from performing an AutoTack away from the wind 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) 81269_1.book Page 24 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 24 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide Wind selection (SAILBOAT only) This screen determines whether the boat steers to apparent or true wind in Wind Vane mode. Options WIND APP (Default) SmartPilot steers to apparent wind angle WIND TRUE SmartPilot steers to true wind angle WindTrim (SAILBOAT only) WindTrim controls how quickly the SmartPilot responds to changes in the wind direction. 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 SmartPilot response level setting. 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 Chapter 1, SmartPilot Operation. S1G, S2G and S3G systems Screen Text Options RESPONSE Range = 1 to 9 levels 9 to 7 gives the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open waters as the SmartPilot may ‘fight’ the sea. levels 6 to 4 should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled turns under normal operating conditions. levels 3 to 1 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This conserves power, but may compromise short-term coursekeeping accuracy. 81269_1.book Page 25 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 25 Non-G SmartPilot systems Screen Text Options RESPONSE 1 AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband). The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat movements and only react to true variations in course. This provides the best compromise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy. RESPONSE 2 AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband). This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to increased power consumption and drive unit activity. RESPONSE 3 AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping. This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by introducing counter rudder yaw damping. 81269_1.book Page 26 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 26 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide 81269_1.book Page 27 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 27 Chapter 3: Fault Finding & Maintenance All Raymarine products are designed to provide many years of trouble-free operation. We also put them through comprehensive testing and quality assurance procedures before shipping. This chapter provides information about identifying problems, interpreting alarm messages, maintaining your SmartPilot and obtaining product support. If a fault occurs with your SmartPilot, use the fault finding tables in this section to help identify the problem and provide a solution. If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, refer to the product support information. 3.1 Fault finding SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE and SOLUTION Display is blank No power – check the power and SeaTalk fuses on course computer, then check main fuse/circuit breaker. Data page display shows stationary dashes The control unit is not receiving necessary data from other instruments – check cabling. Display shows rotating dashes Compass calibration in progress (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide). Displayed compass heading You have not calibrated the compass.

Non-Raymarine 24 V autopilots clutch slipping Check that the clutch fuse is in the correct position. E.g. 24 V position for 24 V clutches. When holding a constant The Autopilot is connected to a Raymarine Pathfinder course in STANDBY mode, the unit with the “Bridge NMEA Heading” option heading continuously changes switched on. Disable this feature on the Pathfinder unit. SmartPilot alarm messages When the SmartPilot 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 SmartPilot will raise more than one alarm. When you have dealt with the first alarm, it will display the next alarm. 81269_1.book Page 29 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM Chapter 3: Fault Finding & Maintenance 29 ALARM MESSAGE POSSIBLE CAUSE and SOLUTION AUTO RELEASE Possible fault with rudder position sensor – check connections. OR Stern (I/O) drives only – you have taken manual control of steering with AutoRelease on. The alarm cancels automatically after 10 seconds. CURRENT LIMIT Serious drive failure – the drive is taking too much current due to short-circuit or jamming. Check the drive unit. DRIVE STOPPED The autopilot is unable to turn the rudder (this occurs if the weather load on helm is too high, or if the rudder position sensor has passed beyond the preset rudder limits or rudder end-stops). Check drive and rudder position sensor. LOW BATTERY Supply voltage has dropped below acceptable limits. To respond to a Low Battery alarm: • press standby to clear the alarm and return to hand steering • start the engine to recharge the battery LRN FAIL 1, 2 or 4 AutoLearn not completed successfully. Failure codes: 1 = AutoLearn has not been carried out (default setting) 2 = AutoLearn failed, usually due to manual interruption 4 = AutoLearn failed, probably due to drive or compass failure Repeat the AutoLearn procedure. MOT POW SWAPPED Motor cables are connected to power terminals (and power cables are connected to motor terminals) at course computer. Turn off power and swap over connections. NO DATA Caused by any of the following situations: • the compass is not connected • the autopilot is in Wind Vane mode and it has not received wind angle data for 30 seconds • the autopilot is in Track mode and: • the autopilot is not receiving SeaTalk navigation data, or • the position sensor (GPS, Loran, Decca) is receiving a low strength signal – this will clear when the signal improves Check connections to the compass, wind instrument and navigator. Note: The autopilot stops adjusting the heading as soon as it loses data. NO PILOT The controller is not receiving data from the SmartPilot computer. Check connections and check course computer is switched on. 81269_1.book Page 30 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 2:35 PM 30 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide ALARM MESSAGE POSSIBLE CAUSE and SOLUTION RG FAIL GyroPlus yaw sensor has failed: • If you have a S1G, S2G or S3G course computer with internal GyroPlus sensor – call a Raymarine service agent. • If you have a Non-Gscourse computer with external GyroPlus yaw sensor – check the sensor and connections, then call a Raymarine service agent.
