2.1 Handbook information Description This handbook describes installation of the Evolution autopilot system. Installation, commissioning and operation instructions including connection to a wider system of marine electronics.
2.2 Product overview Item Component Purpose The Evolution EV-2 is a primary heading sensor and course computer, providing autopilot control for vessels fitted with compatible Drive-By-Wire (DBW) steering systems. In conjunction with a separately supplied interface unit and a compatible autopilot controller, the EV-2 enables you to directly control the vessel’s steering system and provide navigation commands, such as navigating to pre-determined tracks and waypoints for example.
must come from a GNSS receiver providing SOG (Speed Over Ground) data, or ideally from a dedicated speed sensor. • Compatible wind data source (only required for sailing vessels). The autopilot uses wind vane data to steer relative to a specified wind angle. This data must come from an analog wind transducer connected to the SeaTalkng® backbone. Optional: • Position data source – The autopilot uses position data when following routes and calculating the optimum course to steer.

Chapter 6: System checks and troubleshooting Chapter contents • 6.1 Post-installation checks on page 32 • 6.2 Autopilot system setup on page 32 • 6.3 Alarms on page 33 • 6.
6.1 Post-installation checks These checks should be carried out after installation, and prior to the commissioning of the autopilot system. 1. Switch on power to the autopilot system and associated equipment. • ACU (for EV-1 systems only) • Autopilot controller • SeaTalkng® backbone (if this has its own power supply) 2. Check that the autopilot controller powers up. If the display is blank press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds. 3.
6.3 Alarms Alarms are raised by the autopilot system to alert you to mechanical and electrical conditions requiring your attention. The Evolution components transmit alarm alerts on the SeaTalkng® network for display on autopilot controllers and MFDs, along with an audible alert. The Evolution components stop raising an alarm when the alarm condition ceases or the alarm is acknowledged on the autopilot controller or MFD. If the alarm is safety-critical it will be raised again after a timed delay.
Alarm Message Possible causes Solution NO RUDDER REFERENCE No rudder reference unit is detected, or the rudder reference unit has turned outside its operational range (50 degrees). If a rudder reference unit is installed, check the wiring. Inspect the unit for possible damage. STALL DETECTED Motor speed dropped too low for given course change or motor stalling. This can be caused by a faulty drive unit or steering fault. Alternatively, the steering hard-over time may be too slow.
