Chapter 4: Customising the ST5000 Plus 31 Pilot type The default settings should be retained (5000 STRN for sterndrive systems, and 5000 HYDR for hydraulic systems). Rudder gain This is the power-on rudder gain setting and should be adjusted to the setting that gives the best steering performance as described in Chapter 6. Response This is the power-on response setting. The response level can be changed during normal operation (see Section 3. 2) or via the Response Data Page, if this is set for display (see Section 2. 5). Turn limit This limits the rate of turn of your vessel when under autopilot control. The value must be within the range 5 to 20°. For sailboat applications it should be set to 20°. Align rudder (Rudder Offset) Set this option if your system includes a rudder reference unit. 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. The offset must be within -7º to +7º. 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. Access the rudder limit screen (RUD LIMIT). 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. The effect of the setting must be evaluated while under sail. · 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.
