To the best of our knowledge, the information contained within this handbook was correct as it went to press. A great deal of care has been taken to ensure that this handbook is as accurate as possible. [. . . ] The reported rudder angle is indicated on the rudder bar graphic at the bottom of the screen. Adjust the offset, using the +1 and -1 keys, until the rudder position is shown as central on the rudder bar. If required, move the rudder reference unit and repeat this procedure. Rudder limit The rudder limit function enables you to set the limits of autopilot rudder control just inside the mechanical end stops, and thereby avoid putting the steering system under unnecessary load . The adjustment range is from 15° to 40° of rudder movement. 32 ST5000 Plus Sterndrive & Hydraulic Autopilots Owner's Handbook If your boat is fitted with a rudder reference transducer, set the autopilot rudder limit as follows: 1. Manually set the rudder to each end stop (port and starboard), and in each case use the rudder bar on the display, to determine the end-stop angle. Set the autopilot rudder limit so that it is 5° less than the smallest (port or starboard) mechanical end stop angle. Off course alarm This feature controls the alarm that warns you if the autopilot is unable to maintain its set course. The alarm operates if the pilot strays off course by more than the alarm angle limit for more the 20 seconds. The value must be within 15° to 40°, and can be adjusted in 1° steps. AutoTack angle The AutoTack angle is the angle through which the vessel will turn when automatic tack is selected (see Chapter 2). The value must be within the range 40 to 125°, and can be adjusted in 1° steps. AutoTrim The AutoTrim level setting determines the rate at which the autopilot applies "standing helm" to correct for trim changes caused by varying wind loads on the sails or superstructure. The settings are: Chapter 4: Customising the ST5000 Plus 33 Setting Off 1 2 3 4 Effect No trim correction Slow trim correction Medium trim correction Fast trim correction Super fast correction Recommended for: Heavy displacement vessels, with full keel or transom rudder. Planing power vessels The default settings should provide optimum performance with the ST5000 Plus autopilots. However, depending on the vessel's dynamic stability, an incorrect rate of trim application may result in poor course keeping due to autopilot instability. After gaining experience with the ST5000 Plus, you may wish to change the setting. · Decrease the AutoTrim level if the autopilot gives unstable course keeping or excessive drive activity with a change in the heel angle. · Increase the AutoTrim level if the autopilot reacts slowly to a heading change due to a change in the heel angle. Drive type Drive type controls the way which the autopilot drives the steering system. The default settings (soft drive for mechanically driven vessels, and hard drive for hydraulic systems) should be retained. Variation If required, set this to the level of magnetic variation present at your vessel's current position ­ indicated as East (E) or West (W). The variation setting is sent to other instruments on the SeaTalk system, and can be updated by other SeaTalk instruments. AutoAdapt The patented AutoAdapt feature allows the ST5000 Plus to compensate for heading errors at higher latitudes, which are caused by the increasing dip of the earth's magnetic field. The increased dip has 34 ST5000 Plus Sterndrive & Hydraulic Autopilots Owner's Handbook the effect of amplifying rudder response on northerly headings in the northern hemisphere, and on southerly headings in the southern hemisphere. Set AutoAdapt to nth in the northern hemisphere, or Sth in the southern hemisphere. You then need to enter your current latitude in the next setup screen, so that the ST5000 Plus can provide accurate course keeping by automatically adjusting the rudder gain depending on the heading. Latitude This screen is only displayed if AutoAdapt is set to nth or Sth . Use the +1 and -1 keys to set the value to your vessel's current latitude, to the nearest degree. Note: If valid latitude data is available via SeaTalk or NMEA, it will be used instead of this calibration value. AutoRelease This is displayed on ST5000 Plus sterndrive systems and controls the emergency steering release. [. . . ] A series of rotating dashes are displayed on screen · Compass deviation correction is running. The display shows a series of stationary dashes · Data is not being received ­ check the cabling. The display shows NO DATA · The signals received from the navigator are too weak ­ refer to the navigator handbook for further action.
