Raymarine autopilot installation manual

The display automatically returns to the previous mode if you do not press a key for 7 seconds:. Note: You can also adjust the lighting level from any other SeaTalk instrument or control unit connected to SeaTalk. Note: When you switch off the unit you lose any changes you have made to the lighting. The sections in this chapter explain how to use the more advanced functions on your autopilot:. Operation Advanced 3. Note: You can only use Track mode if you have connected the. The autopilot computes any course changes to keep your boat on track, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway.

To select Track mode, press the track key with the autopilot in Auto mode. If cross track error and bearing to waypoint information are both available via SeaTalk or NMEA , the autopilot can acquire a track automatically:.

Bring the boat within 0. Press auto. The autopilot will display the current locked heading. Press track to enter Track mode. Wait for the Waypoint Advance alarm to sound. The display will show the bearing to the next planned waypoint and the direction the boat will turn to reach this waypoint.

Note: If the boat is more than 0. Press standby to cancel the alarm, hand steer closer to the track, press auto and then press track.

Check that it is safe to turn the boat onto the new course. Press the track key:. From auto mode, press track to enter Track mode:. If yournavigationsystem only provides cross track error information, you must acquire the track manually:. Steer the boat to within 0. The display then shows the locked pilot heading.

Note: Tidal streams have a far more significant effect at lower speeds than at higher speeds. However, you should take extra care during manual acquisition, as follows:. Cross track error XTE is the distance between the current position and a planned route.

The autopilot receives the cross track error information from the navigation equipment, and displays the XTE in nautical miles nm , statute miles SM or kilometres. If the cross track error is greater than 0.

Waypoint 1. As the boat arrives at the target waypoint the navigation aid should manually or automatically select the next target waypoint. This shows the new bearing to the next waypoint and the direction the boat will turn to acquire the new track. To advance to the next waypoint:. Check that it is safe to turn onto the new track. Press the track key.

This will cancel the Waypoint Advance alarm and turn the boat towards the next waypoint. Note: When you reach the last waypoint in the track, the NO DATA alarm will sound to indicate that there is no further waypoint information. Press auto to continue on the same heading, or standby to return to hand steering. 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. When the autopilot is in Track mode you still have full control from the keypad. After you have avoided the hazard, you can cancel the dodge course change by making an equal course change in the opposite direction. Note: Provided the boat remains within 0. Track mode provides accurate track keeping even in complex navigational situations. Sailing in Track mode assists precise navigation and removes the tasks of compensating for wind and tidal drift.

However, you MUST still maintain an accurate log with regular plots. At the start of a journey you must always use an easily identifiable fixed object to confirm the fix given by the navigation system. Check for fixed positional errors and compensate for them.

Always verify the computed position with a dead reckoned position, calculated from the average course steered and the distance logged. When setting waypoints, remember that deviations can occur. Check up to 0. Note: For the waypoint advance function to work, the last four characters of adjacent waypoint names must be different.

It uses wind trim to eliminate the effects of turbulence and short term wind variations. This provides smooth and precise performance with minimal power consumption. Steady the boat onto the required apparent wind angle. Press standby and auto together to select Wind Vane mode and lock the current apparent wind angle:.

Note: Because turning the boat affects the relationship between the true and apparent wind angles, you should only use this method to make minor adjustments to the apparent wind angle.

For major changes, return to Standby mode, steer onto the new heading, then reselect Wind Vane mode. If you have steered the boat away from the selected apparent wind angle for any reason such as a dodge maneuver or selecting Standby mode , you can return to the previous locked wind angle:. The display shows the previous locked heading and indicates which direction the boat will turn. Check that it is safe to turn onto this course. To accept this apparent wind angle, press standby and auto together within 7 seconds.

Note: If you do not accept the previous wind within 7 seconds, the autopilot will lock onto the current apparent wind angle. When the autopilot is in Wind Vane mode you still have full control from the keypad. The autopilot will adjust both the locked heading and locked apparent wind angle. Welcome to ManualMachine.
