Chapter 3: Commissioning & Setup
This chapter describes the commissioning and setup procedures for your Raymarine
SPX-5R Drive system.
Requirement
The commissioning procedures are mandatory and must be carried out after
installation, before the SPX-5R Drive system is used to steer the boat. The
commissioning procedures comprise a series of dockside checks and setup
procedures followed by a short seatrial.
Additional setup procedures are also provided for you to fine tune your SPX-5R Drive
system for optimum performance with your boat. They are not mandatory and you
may find that you do not need to use them if the SPX-5R Drive system operates to
your satisfaction after commissioning.
When commissioning and setting up the SPX-5R Drive system, use the supplied
ST6002 controller (Pilot Controller):
•
standby
&
auto
select the required operating mode.
•
+1, -1, +10 & -10
initiate course changes.
•
disp
&
track
provide access to extended functions.
Note: The system is also compatible with ST7002, ST8002, S100, SmartController and ST70
Pilot Controllers.
Power assisted steering
If your vessel has power steering, this must be operating before commissioning or
using the autopilot. Operating the autopilot without the power assist steering in
operation could cause damage to the Drive.
Rudder reference information
The basic SPX-5R Drive system is supplied without a rudder reference transducer, so
in the basic system, the Pilot Controller display does not show a rudder reference bar
or indicator. However, the SPX-5R Drive system is compatible with the Raymarine
rudder reference transducer, and this can be fitted as an option.
