62 ST5000 Plus SailPilot Owner’s Handbook
If the illumination does not switch on then a cabling fault exists in the
SeaTalk cabling between the ST5000 Plus control head and the
instruments/control unit.
6.2 Dockside procedure
The dockside procedure is only required if a rudder reference
transducer is fitted, and ensures that the rudder reference transducer is
correctly aligned with the rudder.
To carry out the procedure:
1. Move the helm to its centre position, using the -1, +1, -10 and +10
keys.
2. Check the rudder bar display. The rudder angle should be within ±
7° of centre.
3. To improve the alignment, slacken the rudder reference mounting
bolts and rotate the base until the reported rudder angle is as close
to zero as possible. Then tighten the bolts again.
4. Fine adjustment, to align the display and helm accurately, is
achieved using the Align rudder option in Dealer Setup (see
Chapter 4). However, this cannot be used to correct an offset of
more than ± 7°.
5. Carry out the Rudder limit procedure in Dealer Setup (see
Chapter 4).
6.3 Initial sea trial
EMC conformance
• Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it
is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the
equipment from being affected by external influences. In general
this will not damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting, or
momentarily may result in faulty operation.
Overview
Having checked that the system is functioning correctly, a short sea trial
is now required to complete the setup. It involves the following
procedures:
