5 Commissioning the Wheel Pilot
Checking the wind instrument interface
If you have connected the wheel pilot to a wind instrument, check the
data link as follows:
1. Press
STANDBY and AUTO together.
2. The wheel pilot should display a
‘W’ and the locked heading.
If the display continues to show a flashing ‘C’ and the current heading,
the wheel pilot is not receiving any wind data. The most likely reason
is a cabling error – either open circuit, short circuit or wires reversed.
Checking the SeaTalk interface
If you have connected the wheel pilot to other instruments or control
units via SeaTalk, check the link as follows:
1. Press
STANDBY on the ST3000 control unit.
2. Select display illumination level 0 (
LAMP 0) on any other SeaTalk
instrument or autopilot control unit.
3. The ST3000 control unit should immediately respond by
switching off its display illumination. If the illumination does not
switch off, there is a cabling fault between the ST3000 and the
SeaTalk instruments.
Track data not received
The wheel pilot displays this message if you
select Track mode when the autopilot is not
receiving SeaTalk navigation data.
Track data error
The wheel pilot displays this message if you
select Track mode when the navigator has
lost its fix.This display will clear as soon as
the navigator regains its fix.
