Once you have installed the system, you need to confirm that the system
is wired correctly and is also set up to suit your type of boat.
This chapter provides instructions for the following procedures:
ï Functional test, consisting of a few simple tests to confirm that the
system is wired correctly
ï Dockside procedures, to calibrate the autopilot automatically
according to your rudder installation
ï Initial sea trial, to swing the compass and align the heading, check
the autopilotís operation and check the rudder gain
Further customisation can be performed after the sea trial, as described
in Chapter 5.
7.1 Funct ional t est
Sw i t ch on
Having installed your ST4000 Plus autopilot, switch on the main power
breaker. If the control head is active and the system operating, the
following will occur:
ïThe control head beeps and displays the pilot type (4000 WHL or
4000 TILL).
ïIf your pilot is a wheel driven (4000 WHL) system, then 1 second
after power-on the pilot drives to starboard for 3 seconds. This is to
allow even wear on the drive belt.
ïAfter the pilot type has been displayed for 2 seconds, the Standby
mode screen should be displayed.

If the head does not beep, check the fuse/circuit breaker. If the SEA T A LK
FA I L alarm is displayed, check the SeaTalk connections.
