[. . . ] If the cross track error is greater than 0. 3 nm, the SmartPilot will sound the Large Cross Track Error warning and show whether you are to the port (Pt) or starboard (Stb) of the planned track. D5414-4 Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 15 Cross track error (XTE) more than 0. 3 nm u Act al r out e Waypoint 2 n Pla ned rou te Waypoint 1 Tidal stream compensation Under most conditions, the SmartPilot will hold the selected track to within ±0. 05 nm (300 ft) or better. It takes account of the boat's speed when computing course changes to ensure optimum performance. Waypoint 2 Boat's speed over ground Tidal component Boat's speed through water Waypoint 1 D3261-4 How do I dodge an obstacle in Track mode? In Track mode you still have full control from the keypad. You can make a dodge maneuver by using the course change buttons (-1, +1, -10 or +10) to select the desired course change. Once you are safely past the obstacle, reinitiate Track mode to continue on your planned route. D5415-4 16 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide What happens when I arrive at a waypoint? As the boat arrives at the target waypoint the chartplotter will select the next target waypoint and transmit this to the SmartPilot. It will then detect the new target waypoint name, sound a Waypoint Advance warning and display the Waypoint Advance (NEXT WPT) screen. This shows the new bearing to the next waypoint and the direction the boat will turn to acquire the new track. Waypoint arrival and advance Next target Waypoint at 270° New target waypoint at 270° Target Waypoint Old target Waypoint TRUE TRUE Waypoint arrival Waypoint advance How do I get to the next waypoint in a route? When the Waypoint Advance warning sounds, the SmartPilot suspends Track mode and maintains the current boat heading. To advance to the next waypoint: 1. This will cancel the Waypoint Advance warning and turn the boat towards the next waypoint. Note: If you do not press track to accept the Waypoint Advance, the SmartPilot will maintain the current heading and continue sounding the warning. How do I skip a waypoint?(SeaTalk chartplotters) If you want to advance to the next waypoint before you have arrived at the target waypoint, you can skip a waypoint by pressing track for 1 second. The display will then show the Waypoint Advance screen for the next waypoint. Check it is safe to turn, then press track to turn the boat towards the next waypoint. D5416-4 Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 17 WARNING: Ensure navigation safety Skipping a waypoint will take you straight to the next waypoint. Check your navigation before making the turn. What is the Waypoint Advance warning? The SmartPilot activates the Waypoint Advance warning (NEXT WPT?) in Track mode whenever the target waypoint name changes. This occurs when: · you select automatic acquisition by pressing track from Auto · you request waypoint advance by pressing track for 1 second in Track mode (with SeaTalk navigators only) · the boat arrives at the target and the navigator accepts the next waypoint · you activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function (see page 22) When the warning sounds, the SmartPilot continues on its current heading but displays: · the bearing to the next waypoint · the direction the boat will turn to take up that bearing How do I respond to a Waypoint Advance warning?To respond to a Waypoint Advance warning: · check that it is safe to turn onto the new track, then press track to accept the waypoint advance · alternatively, you can cancel the warning without accepting the waypoint advance by pressing: · auto to continue on the same heading, or · standby to return to manual control What happens when I get to the end of the route? The SmartPilot displays the ROUTE COMPLETED warning when you have reached the last waypoint on a route in Track mode. · or press standby to return to manual control. 18 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide 2. 2 Using Wind Vane mode ­ sail boats Note: You can only select Wind Vane mode if the SmartPilot is receiving suitable SeaTalk or NMEA wind direction information. What is Wind Vane mode? When the SmartPilot is in Wind Vane mode it uses the fluxgate compass as the primary heading reference. As changes in the true or apparent wind angle occur, it adjusts the locked heading to maintain the original wind angle. Wind information To use Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot must receive wind information from one of the following sources: · SeaTalk wind instrument connected to the autopilot via SeaTalk · NMEA wind instrument · Raymarine pushpit wind vane connected via a SeaTalk interface True and apparent wind SmartPilots can maintain a course relative to either an apparent or true wind angle in Wind Vane mode The default setting is apparent wind. If required, you can change this to true wind in User Calibration (see page 24). WindTrim In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot uses WindTrim to eliminate the effects of turbulence and short term wind variations. This provides smooth and precise performance with minimal power consumption. You can adjust the wind response (WindTrim) level in User Calibration (see page 24) to control how quickly the SmartPilot responds to changes in the wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind changes. How do I select Wind Vane mode? You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or Auto mode: 1. Press standby and auto together to select Wind Vane mode and lock the current wind angle: · the display shows the locked heading (e. g. WIND 145P indicates an wind angle of 145° to port) Chapter 2: Advanced Operation 19 · if the SmartPilot does not enter Wind Vane mode, it is not receiving wind data - check the instrument and connections + MAG D3565-6 3. In Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot will then adjust the boat's heading to maintain the locked wind angle. How do I leave Wind Vane mode? You can leave Wind Vane mode by: · pressing auto to return to Auto mode. · pressing standby to return to manual control. How do I adjust the locked wind angle You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 buttons to change course.
