Summary

Description and Installation

h1000 pilot display

The h1000 pilot display head controls the autopilot and integrates with other h1000 instruments.

panel mounting

Procedure for cutting a panel hole and securely mounting the pilot display unit using its bracket.

h1000 compass unit

The h1000 compass is an electronic fluxgate for use with all h1000 systems, housed in a sealed casing.

rudder reference unit (rru)

The RRU provides rudder position information to the pilot computer unit via a sealed, high-specification potentiometer.

rudder drive options

Details on hydraulic pump driven systems for boats without existing hydraulic steering, available in three sizes.

hydraulic drive pumps

Description of the reversible hydraulic drive pump, its function, and service ports.

advanced control processor unit

The ACP Unit houses autopilot electronics and controls rudder drive options, designed for vertical mounting.

clutch voltage selection

How to select clutch/solenoid voltages using dip-switches on the ACP computer drive PCB.

system wiring and connections

Diagrams illustrating connections for alarms, optional controls, drives, pumps, and sensors.

Optional Devices

hand-held controller

Waterproof remote controller with six function buttons and status LED for palm-of-the-hand autopilot control.

man overboard button (mob)

A large, red, waterproof press-switch that initiates the MOB sequence and sounds an alarm.

acp joystick

Joystick for direct rudder control, deck-mountable, connects to the h1000 ACP unit via a 10m cable.

Calibration

h1000 pilot calibration

Sets units of measurement, damping, and speed calibration factor for the autopilot.

pilot installation checklist

A checklist to ensure system correctness before applying power and starting autopilot calibration.

dockside calibration

Procedures performed at the dockside before sea trial, covering essential system settings and checks.

selecting the boat type

Choose the boat type (Sail, Power disp., Power planing) to optimize autopilot steering response.

setting the rudder end stops

Define the full travel limits of the rudder by setting port and starboard end stops.

seatrial calibration

Parameters set and checked during the initial sea trial, including Rudder amidships, Boat lag, and Rudder gain.

Boat lag

Adjust boat lag to manage the time the boat takes to respond to helm changes, correcting for overshoot.

Rudder gain

Fine-tune the autopilot's steering performance by adjusting rudder gain for optimal response and course keeping.

manual rudder gain

Manually adjust rudder gain for optimal steering, balancing response and rudder movement.

Troubleshooting

uncalibrated

Fault: Rudder not calibrated or memory corrupted. Check list provided for diagnosis.

no rudder position

Fault: Rudder reference signal outside calibration limits. Check installation, wiring, and voltage.

no drive detected

Fault: Pilot cannot move rudder or moves it incorrectly. Check power, installation, and dip switches.

no boat speed

Fault: Boat stationary or slow, or speed sensor not working. Check speed input and connections.

no heading data

Fault: Compass or gyro data lost or unreliable. Check connections to the compass sensor or external devices.

pilot not steering a straight course

Fault: Pilot overcorrects course, causing an 'S' wake. Check drive system, settings, gain, lag, and compass location.
