Chapter 6: Post Installation Procedures
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:
• Functional test, consisting of a few simple tests to confirm that the
system is wired correctly
• Dockside procedure, necessary if a rudder reference transducer is
fitted, to ensure that the rudder reference transducer is correctly
aligned with the rudder.
• Initial sea trial, to swing the compass and align the heading, check
the autopilot’s operation and check the rudder gain
Further customisation can be performed after the sea trial, as described
in Chapter 4.
6.1 Functional test
Switch on
Having installed your ST5000 Plus autopilot, switch on the main power
breaker. If the control head is active and the system operating, the
following will occur:
• The control head beeps and displays the pilot type (5000 SAIL).
• After the pilot type has been displayed for 2 seconds, the Standby
mode screen should be displayed.
This shows that the control head is active.
• If the head does not beep, check the fuse/circuit breaker.
• If the SEATALK FAIL alarm is displayed, check the SeaTalk
connections.
