56 ST6000 Plus Autopilot Control Unit Owner,s Handbook
Switch on
Having installed your ST6000 Plus, switch on the main power breaker.
If the control head is active and the system operating, the following will
occur:
 The control head beeps and displays the pilot type, ST6000.
 After the pilot type has been displayed for 2 seconds, the Standby
mode screen should be displayed.
This shows that the control head is active. If the head does not beep,
check the fuse/circuit breaker.
If the text ST FAIL or NO LINK is displayed, check the SeaTalk cables
between the ST6000 Plus control head and the Course Computer.
Navigation interface (GPS, Decca, Loran)
If the ST6000 Plus is interfaced to a navigator, via its NMEA data port,
the interface can be checked by displaying the default Data Pages.
These are XTE, BTW, and DTW.
Press disp to display the first page, and check that the expected data is
displayed. Press disp again to check each successive page.
If dashes are displayed instead of data values, the cause could be one or
more of the following:
 A cabling error. Check for an open circuit, short circuit or reversed
wires.
 The navigator is not configured to transmit the required data format.
 The signals being received by the navigator are too weak for reliable
navigation. Refer to the navigator handbook for further action.
