What to do if Raymarine Security Sensors show 'DRIVE STOPPED'?
- M
  Matthew WestAug 21, 2025
  If the Raymarine Security Sensors display 'DRIVE STOPPED', it could be due to several reasons. The motor or steering might not have moved within 20 seconds of a course change command, so verify that the rudder angle reference sensor is correctly installed, reflecting the limits and end-stops of the vessel’s rudder system. For EV-1 systems, check the ACU drive output voltage and drive and clutch voltage output (if applicable). Also, the autopilot might be unable to turn the rudder due to weather or rudder limits; check all connections to the ACU and drive unit. Ensure the drive unit operates without stalling and that the steering system is secure. Autopilot resets due to an external event. Autopilot resets due to software error.

What to do if Raymarine Security Sensors display 'NO DATA'?
- M
  Mrs. Stacy DonaldsonAug 22, 2025
  If your Raymarine Security Sensors show a 'NO DATA' message, the autopilot, when in Wind Vane mode, might not have received wind angle data for 32 seconds. In Track mode, it may not be receiving navigation data, or the rudder angle sensor signal might be weak. To resolve this, check the connections to the wind transducer, multifunction display, and autopilot control head.

What causes Raymarine Security Sensors to display 'STALL DETECTED'?
- L
  leslie68Aug 25, 2025
  The 'STALL DETECTED' error on Raymarine Security Sensors indicates that the motor speed dropped too low for a given course change or the motor is stalling. This can be due to a faulty drive unit or a steering fault. Verify that the drive unit operates correctly and is not stalled. Also, check the steering hard-over time.

How to fix 'NO COMPASS' error on Raymarine Security Sensors?

  Tracy LongAug 26, 2025
  If your Raymarine Security Sensors display a 'NO COMPASS' error, it means the EV-1 or EV-2 is not receiving heading data. Check the connections to the EV-1 / EV-2 unit. You can also try power cycling the EV-1 / EV-2 by removing and then reconnecting the SeaTalkng ® cable.

What does 'NO SPEED DATA' mean on Raymarine Security Sensors?
- H
  hollowayannetteAug 28, 2025
  The 'NO SPEED DATA' message on Raymarine Security Sensors indicates that the autopilot has not received speed (STW or SOG) data for 10 seconds while in Auto mode. Check the connections to the speed transducer. Note that the pilot does not require speed data to operate, but it enhances overall performance in Auto mode.

What to do if Raymarine Security Sensors show 'AUTO RELEASE'?
- M
  Mr. Jose BatesAug 29, 2025
  If the Raymarine Security Sensors display 'AUTO RELEASE', it may indicate a fault with the rudder angle reference sensor. Check the rudder angle reference sensor connections. For systems using the Volvo Penta EVC drive interface unit, ensure the unit is operating correctly.

Why do Raymarine Security Sensors show 'NO RUDDER REFERENCE'?
- A
  Andrea SimmonsAug 31, 2025
  The 'NO RUDDER REFERENCE' error on Raymarine Security Sensors means that no rudder angle reference sensor is detected, or the sensor has turned outside its operational range (50 degrees). If a rudder angle reference sensor is installed, check the wiring and inspect the unit for possible damage.

What causes 'CURRENT OVERLOAD' on Raymarine Security Sensors?
- D
  Dr. Kayla DuncanSep 2, 2025
  A 'CURRENT OVERLOAD' error on Raymarine Security Sensors indicates a serious drive failure where the drive is demanding too much electrical current due to a short-circuit or jamming. This can be caused by a faulty drive unit or motor, a wiring short-circuit, or a fault in the steering system causing the drive unit to lock-up. Check the drive unit.

How to resolve 'NO WIND DATA' on Raymarine Security Sensors?
- R
  Rebecca SnyderSep 4, 2025
  If your Raymarine Security Sensors display 'NO WIND DATA', the autopilot, when in Wind Vane mode, has not received wind angle data for 32 seconds. Check the connections to the wind transducer.

What does 'CLUTCH OVERLOAD' mean on Raymarine Security Sensors?
- J
  juliepowellSep 5, 2025
  The 'CLUTCH OVERLOAD' error on Raymarine Security Sensors means that the clutch for the drive system is demanding a greater power output than is supported by the clutch power output of the Evolution components. Refer to the clutch power output ratings provided in the Installation instructions for the relevant Evolution components, and ensure the clutch for the drive unit does not exceed this power output.
