ST600R Autopilot Control Unit
Bar Selection (RUDD BAR)
Select the type of bar graph, using the +1 or -1 key, to be shown at the
bottom of the SeaTalk displays.
The options are as follows:
RUDD BAR: This shows the rudder position, and is the default
setting. Note that a rudder reference transducer is required for
accurate rudder position information.
STEER BAR: The bar graph is used as follows:
Mode Bar
Standby Not used (shows rudder angle if a feedback transducer
connected to the autopilot
Auto Heading error bar
Track XTE bar
Vane Wind angle error bar
Rudder Calibration (DOCKSIDE RUDD CAL)*
Dockside Rudder Calibration is used to automatically calibrate the
rudder range (for systems with a rudder reference unit) and optimise
autopilot performance by matching the autopilot to its installation.
Warning: This procedure moves the helm, and should only be used when
the vessel is at the dockside. For sterndrive systems, the
engines must be running before you start the procedure.
• The auto dockside procedure is not available if the ST600R is used
with a Type 100/300 Course Computer.
• The Dock Side calibration feature is started using the +1 or -1 key.
• If you start the procedure by mistake, press any key to cancel it.
• If the autopilot does not respond, the display shows “AUTO N/A”.
• Activation and completion of Auto Dockside are displayed as:
“AUTO WAIT” and “AUTO END” respectively.
• The “ALIGN RUD” screen follows “AUTO END” if you have a
rudder feedback transducer. The helm should be centred by hand and
the rudder bar adjusted to zero using the -1 and +1 keys.
