EMC suppression ferrites We supply the fluxgate compass and power cables with suppression ferrites fitted. Always use these ferrites supplied by Raymarine. D3548-2 Connections to other equipment If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit. 4 Installing the RayPilot 650 Chapter 4: Installing the RayPilot 650 33 4. 2 Mounting the control unit 233 mm (9. 2 in) 193 mm (7. 6 in) 74 mm (2. 9 in) 33 mm (1. 3 in) 110 mm (4. 3 in) 47. 5 mm (1. 87 in) D866-1 The RayPilot control unit is fully weather protected and is designed for above or below deck installation.

The SeaTalk cable provides power to the control unit and allows it to share data. Plug one end of the cable into one of the two SeaTalk sockets on the back of the RayPilot control unit. Run the SeaTalk cable back to the course computer, bearing in mind the EMC and cabling guidelines at the start of this chapter. Note: If the control unit is not the main autopilot control unit, run the SeaTalk cable to the main control unit and connect to the free SeaTalk socket on the rear of the unit. Cut the remaining plug from the SeaTalk cable and connect to the wires to the SeaTalk terminals on the course computer as shown in the following illustration. Connecting to course computer as main control unit Type 150/400 course computer terminals Screen Red Yellow Type 100/300 course computer terminals 4 Installing the RayPilot 650 Screen Red Yellow D886-2 Note: If your boat is already fitted with ST50 instruments, connect the RayPilot to the SeaTalk system using an interface cable with a round plug. The course computer can supply power for the complete system. Chapter 4: Installing the RayPilot 650 37 4. 3 Joystick installation (optional) Note: The joystick is an option for Type 100/300 course computers. Mounting The mounting surface must be smooth and flat to insure that there is adequate waterproofing. Use the template provided to mark the centers for the two fixing holes and outline of the body aperture. Peel off the protective paper from the rear of the weather gasket and fix to the mounting surface. Pass the cable through the body aperture and secure the joystick with the thumb nuts provided. R1004-1 Cabling The joystick is supplied with 26ft (8m) of cable which should be connected to the Type 100/300 course computer as shown. 4 Installing the RayPilot 650 Screen Red Green Blue D984-1 Note: Only one joystick can be connected to the course computer. 38 RayPilot 650 Control Unit - Owner's Handbook 4 Installing the RayPilot 650 Chapter 5: Commissioning the Autopilot 39 Chapter 5: Commissioning the Autopilot WARNING: All new autopilot system installations MUST be calibrated. If you have connected the RayPilot 650 to a newly installed course computer autopilot system, you must commission the system This involves a series of dockside checks and then the seatrial calibration: Note: Before completing the procedures in this section, complete the `Post installation checks' described in the drive installation guide. 5 Commissioning the Autopilot 5. 1 Dockside checks With the boat safely tied up, complete the following dockside checks: 1. Set the basic autopilot parameters. WARNING: For safe control of your boat, you MUST complete the dockside checks before starting the initial seatrial. Step 1 - Switch on 1. When you have installed the RayPilot control unit and the rest of the autopilot system, switch on the main power breaker. [. . . ] AutoRelease provides emergency manual over-ride in situations when you need to avoid an obstacle at the last moment. Screen text Range ON = AutoRelease on OFF = AutoRelease off AUt rLS Response level (rES) This is the default response setting. The response level controls the relationship between the autopilot's course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes to response during normal operation. 72 RayPilot 650 Control Unit - Owner's Handbook Screen text Options AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband) = default · autopilot to gradually ignores repetitive boat movements and only react to true variations in course · provides the best compromise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband) · provides tighter course keeping · increased power consumption and drive unit activity AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping · provides tightest possible course keeping by introducing counter rudder yaw damping 1 2 3 6 Adjusting Autopilot Settings Chapter 6: Adjusting Autopilot Settings 73 Dealer Calibration: default settings with Type 100/300 Calibration setting Vessel type 2 = Semi Displacement 4 = Stern drive (I/O) 1 = Displacement Vessel type Calibration lock Rudder gain Counter rudder Rudder alignment Rudder limit Turn rate limit Cruise speed Off course angle AutoTrim Power steer Drive type Rudder damping Variation AutoAdapt Latitude Wind Trim (displacement only) AutoRelease (stern drives only) Response 1 0 5 7 0 30 20 6 20 2 OFF 3 2 OFF NORTH 0 1 --1 2 0 5 7 0 30 15 8 20 3 OFF 4 2 OFF NORTH 0 ----1 3 0 4 7 0 30 15 15 20 3 OFF 4 2 OFF NORTH 0 ----1 4 0 3 5 0 20 8 15 20 3 OFF 3 2 OFF NORTH 0 --ON 1 Your settings 3 = Planing 6 Adjusting Autopilot Settings Note: Information applies to Type 100/300 Course Computers with Version 15 software. 74 RayPilot 650 Control Unit - Owner's Handbook 6 Adjusting Autopilot Settings Limited Warranty Certificate Raymarine warrants each new Light Marine/Dealer Distributor Product to be of good materials and workmanship, and will repair or exchange any parts proven to be defective in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of 2 years/24 months from date of sale to end user, except as provided below.
