Chapter 6: 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 4.

Operating sense

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

operating sense as follows:

1. Press auto.

2. Press the +10 key. The helm should move to produce a turn to

starboard.
