Boat turns slowly and takes a long time to come on to course. Rudder gain too low (see page 59). Boat overshoots when turning on to a Rudder gain too high (see page 59). The autopilot appears to be unstable Northerly/Southerly heading correction on Northerly headings in Northern not set up (see page 65). hemisphere (or Southerly headings in Southern hemisphere). Display shows `CAL OFF' when entering calibration. The autopilot will not `talk' to other SeaTalk instruments. Calibration access has been prevented (see page 66). Cabling problem ­ make sure all the cables are connected properly. Navigator not transmitting the correct position data. 3 Maintenance & Fault Finding The autopilot will not auto advance to No bearing to waypoint information the next waypoint. The autopilot will not display Distance to Waypoint, Bearing to Waypoint or Waypoint Number. Drive slips under normal operating conditions. Incorrect NMEA sentences transmitted from position sensor. Refer to product handbook for information about information transmitted. Return the drive to your nearest service representative. 32 ST3000 Wheel Drive Autopilot - Owner's Handbook 3 Maintenance & Fault Finding Part 2: Installing the Wheel Pilot Part 2: Installing the Wheel Pilot Part 2: Installing the Wheel Pilot Chapter 4: Installing the Wheel Pilot 35 Chapter 4: Installing the Wheel Pilot 4. 1 Planning the installation Before you start installing your wheel pilot system, read through the following information and the relevant installation sections in this chapter. Cabling guidelines · · · consider how you will run cables to and from each component avoid running cables through bilges where possible avoid running cables close to fluorescent lights, engines, radio transmitting equipment etc. EMC installation guidelines All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum EMC performance, we recommend that: · Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: · At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e. g. In the case of SSB radios, increase the distance to 7 ft (2 m). [. . . ] Store the setting by pressing -1 and standby for 10 seconds until the wheel drive returns to normal operation.
