Page 7 Chapter 3: Advanced Operation Page 9 Chapter 5: Installation Page Preface Preface Preface This handbook contains information on the operation and installation of your new equipment.
In order to obtain the best performance from your autopilot, please read this handbook thoroughly. How this handbook is organised This handbook is divided into the following chapters: Chapter 1: Introduces the autopilot, its features and its use. Your Raymarine autopilot will add a new dimension to your boating enjoyment. However, it is the responsibility of the skipper to ensure the safety of the vessel at all times by careful observance of these basic rules.
Page Chapter 1: Introduction SailPilot linear drive steering systems, which can also repeat instrument data in a programmable selection of Data Pages. Page Extended Systems 1. Additional fixed and hand-held SeaTalk autopilot control units can be connected at secondary steering and control positions. It then gives operating instructions for engaging the autopilot and using Auto mode, changing the lighting, and displaying Data Pages.
Page Display Layout 2. If it has been set as a direction-to-steer indicator, the display depends on the current mode, as follows: Mode Standby Steady the vessel on the required heading. Press auto. CAUTION: Passage making under autopilot control is an enjoyable experience that can, if you are not careful, lead to the relaxation of the permanent watch.
Dodging obstacles in Auto mode In order to avoid an obstacle when your vessel is under autopilot control, select a course change in the appropriate direction for AutoTack to port Press the -1 and keys together to tack to port. To cancel the off course alarm, press standby to return to hand steering. Check whether your vessel is carrying too much sail, or whether the sails are badly balanced.
Significant improvements in course keeping can usually be obtained by improving sail balance. Page Gusty Conditions 3. Bring the vessel onto the new heading. Select auto and let the vessel settle onto course. Gusty conditions In gusting conditions, the course may tend to wander slightly, particularly if the sails are badly balanced.
The display times out to normal operation after 7 seconds of keypad inactivity. Page 25 Up to 7 Data Pages are available using the disp key. The number of pages, and the information displayed on each page, depends on the selections made in User Setup see section 5. Page Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 3. The ST Plus will then compute any course changes to keep your boat on track, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway.
Page Automatic Acquisition Automatic acquisition Automatic acquisition can only be achieved if the pilot is receiving cross track error and bearing to waypoint information via SeaTalk or NMEA It is initiated as follows: 1. Bring the vessel to within 0. Manual acquisition For manual track acquisition, when only cross track error data is available: 1. Steer the vessel to within 0. This is displayed in nautical miles nm , statute miles SM or kilometres, and is taken directly from your navigator.
Page Waypoint Arrival And Advance Chapter 3: Advanced Operation The autopilot takes account of vessel speed when computing course changes to ensure optimum performance over a wide range of vessel speeds. If speed data is available, the ST Plus uses the measured vessel speed. Page Skipping A Waypoint - Seatalk Navigators Only Skipping a waypoint — SeaTalk navigators only If you wish to advance to the next waypoint before you have arrived at the target waypoint, press track for 1 second.
The Waypoint Advance information for the next waypoint is displayed. Page Position Confirmation At The Start Of A Passage Chapter 3: Advanced Operation Position confirmation at the start of a passage At the start of a passage you must always confirm the fix given by the position transducer, using an easily identifiable fixed object.
Check for fixed positional errors and compensate for them. Refer to Chapter 6, Post Installation Procedures, for instructions on how to check that the rudder gain is set correctly. To set and control the Watch alarm: 1.
Select Auto, Track or Vane mode. Note: You should perform the post installation procedures described in Chapter 6 before adjusting any other calibration features. The procedure must be performed as the first item in your initial sea trial, and is described in detail in Chapter 6, Post Installation Procedures. After 1 second, this changes to the title of the data currently set for that page.
Data is displayed in the units defined by the selected page. Response This is the power-on response setting. The response level can be changed during normal operation see section 3.
Page Off Course Alarm 2. Off Course alarm This feature controls the alarm that warns you if the autopilot is unable to maintain its set course. After gaining experience with the ST Plus, you may wish to change the setting. Page Latitude Set AutoAdapt to nth in the northern hemisphere, or Sth in the southern hemisphere.
You then need to enter your current latitude in the next setup screen, so that the ST Plus can provide accurate course keeping by automatically adjusting the rudder gain depending on the heading. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m 7 ft. I have switched the drive polarity and it will then send it to port but not starboard. The - minus inputs are not responding. Then if i manualu steer to the port and go past the compass reading the auto will then energies the auto helm to correct back to starboard.
Post: 2. Welcome to the Raymarine Forum pirahna3, Based upon the symptoms and troubleshooting performed, it appears that the ST combines the functions of an autopilot control head and course computer within a single device has suffered a failure of its circuitry. Accordingly, it would be necessary to replace the ST The current installed rudder reference transducer and Type 1 Hydraulic Pump may be retained for use with the new autopilot components.
Post: 3. Same thing happened to me last year. Send me a PM and I'll give you his email. Post: 4. English American. Threaded Mode Linear Mode st plus. Posts: 1 Joined: Apr Reputation: 0. Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator Administrator.
