Chapter 7: Post Installation Procedures

This chapter applies to systems where the ST6000 Plus has been

installed as the only control unit for a Type 100/300 Course Computer.

Once you have installed the system, you need to confirm that it is wired

correctly and is also set up to suit your type of boat.

This chapter provides instructions for the following procedures:

 Functional test, consisting of a few simple tests to confirm that the

system is wired correctly

 Initial sea trial, to swing the compass and align the heading, check

the autopilots operation and check the rudder gain

Further customisation can be performed after the sea trial, as described

in Chapter 5.

7.1 Functional test and initial calibration

Switch on

Having installed your ST6000 Plus system, 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 as ST6000.

 After 2 seconds the Standby screen is displayed.

This shows that the control head is active.

 If the head does not beep, check the fuse/circuit breaker.

 If the SEATALK FAIL or NO LINK alarm is displayed, check the

SeaTalk connections.

Initial calibration

Use the Dealer Setup function (see Chapter 5) as soon as you have

completed this functional test.

Operating sense

The operating sense defines the direction the helm will be applied when

a course change key is pressed or the vessel goes off course. Check the

operating sense as follows:
