Select a course change in the appropriate direction for example port 30 10 three times When safely clear of the obstacle you can reverse the previous course change for example press 10 three times or return to the previous locked heading LAST HDGChapter 2 Basic Operation 7 Returning to the Previous Locked Heading LAST HDG If you steer your vessel away from the selected locked heading for example executing a dodge manoeuvre or selecting Standby you can return to the previous locked heading as follows 1 Press AUTO for 1 second The previous locked heading LAST HDG is displayed for 7 seconds and the display flashes Note A indicator is displayed to show you the direction the vessel will turn 2 To accept this heading and resume the original course press AUTO once within this 7 second period If you do not press AUTO while the display is flashing the current heading will be maintained8 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Automatic Tack AutoTack The autopilot has a built in automatic tack facility that turns the vessel through a predetermined angle the factory default set in Dealer calibration is 100 in the required direction AutoTack to Starboard Press the 1 and 10 keys together to tack to starboard AutoTack to Port Press the 1 and 10 keys together to tack to port Chapter 2 Basic Operation 9 Off Course Alarm The off course alarm sounds if the locked autopilot heading and the vessels current heading differ for more than 20 seconds and by more than the alarm angle set in calibration the factory default is 20 1 To cancel the off course alarm press STANDBY to return to hand steering 2 Make sure your vessel is not carrying too much sail or the sails are badly balanced Significant improvements in course keeping can usually be obtained by improving sail balance Operating Hints Making Major Course Changes It is sound seamanship to make major course changes only when steering manually Manual course changes ensure that obstructions or other vessels are cleared properly and due account taken of the changed wind and sea conditions on the new heading prior to engaging the autopilot Course Changes Under Autopilot Control It is important to understand the effect of sudden trim changes on steering performance When a sudden trim change occurs due for example to weather helm or sail imbalance there will be a delay before the automatic trim applies rudder to restore the locked heading This correction can take up to one minute Large course changes which change the apparent wind direction can produce large trim changes In these situations the autopilot will not immediately assume the new automatic heading and will only settle onto course when the automatic trim has been fully established10 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit To eliminate this problem the following procedure can be adopted for large course changes 1 Note the required new heading 2 Select STANDBY and steer manually 3 Bring the vessel onto the new heading 4 Select AUTO and let the vessel settle onto course 5 Bring the vessel to the final course with 1 increments Gusty Conditions In gusty conditions the course may tend to wander slightly particularly if the sails are badly balanced Significant improvements in course keeping can always be obtained by improving sail balance Bear in mind the following important points Do not allow the yacht to heel over excessively Ease the mainsheet traveller to leeward to reduce heeling and weather helm If necessary reef the mainsail a little early It is also advisable whenever possible to avoid sailing with the wind dead astern in very strong winds and large seas Ideally the wind should be brought at least 30 away from a dead run and in severe conditions it may be advisable to remove the mainsail altogether and sail under headsail only Provided these simple precautions are taken the autopilot will be able to maintain competent control in gale force conditions 24 Manual Mode If your system is fitted with a joystick the ST600R will enter Manual mode when the joystick is in use The ST600R will return to Standby mode when the joystick button is released or if you press the STANDBY key on the ST600RChapter 2 Basic Operation 11 25 Display

Data Chart14 ST600R Autopilot Control UnitChapter 3 Advanced Operation This chapter provides information on Operation in Track mode Operation in Vane mode WindTrim Adjusting response and rudder gain Alarms 31 Operation in Track Mode Track mode is used to maintain a track between two waypoints created on a GPS Decca or Loran navigation system The autopilot will then compute any course changes to keep your boat on track automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway The autopilot can receive cross track error the distance your vessel is from a planned track from a SeaTalk navigation instrument or chartplotter Track mode is selected by pressing the TRACK key but can only be selected in Auto mode You can return to either Auto or Standby from Track as follows Press AUTO to leave Track mode and return to Auto mode Press STANDBY to leave Track mode and return to manual steering Initiating Track Mode When initiating Track mode the track can be acquired in one of two ways Automatic acquisition when cross track error and bearing to waypoint data are available Manual acquisition when cross track error is the only available dataChapter 3 Advanced Operation 15 Automatic Acquisition Automatic acquisition can only be achieved if the pilot is receiving cross track error and bearing to waypoint information via SeaTalk or NMEA 0183 It is initiated as follows 1 Bring the vessel to within 01nm of track 2 Press AUTO 3 Press TRACK to enter Track mode with the current locked heading displayed After a short delay for data acquisition the Waypoint Advance alarm will sound and the display will show the planned bearing to waypoint alternating with the direction in which the boat will turn STBD track Note If the vessel is further than 03nm from the track the Large Cross Track Error alarm will sound Press STANDBY to cancel the alarm hand steer closer to the track and press AUTO and TRACK again 4 Check that it is safe to turn onto the new course 5 Press the TRACK key The boat will turn on to the new course and the alarm will be cancelled16 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Previous Heading D35051 The display shows the new bearing to waypoint Manual Acquisition For manual track acquisition when cross track error is the only data available 1 Steer the vessel to within 01nm of track 2 Bring the heading to within 5 of the bearing to the next waypoint 3 Press AUTO 4 Press TRACK to enter Track mode The display shows the cross track error and the locked pilot heading Note At low speeds the effect of tidal streams is far more significant than it is at higher speeds Providing the tidal flow is less than 35 of the vessels speed no noticeable difference should occur in the performance of Track mode However extra care should be taken during manual acquisition as follows Ensure that the vessel is as close as possible to track and the direction made good over the ground is as close as possible to the direction of the next waypoint before selecting Track mode Make positive positional checks at regular intervals especially if navigational hazards are close byChapter 3 Advanced Operation 17 Cross Track Error Cross track error XTE is the distance between the current position and a planned route This is displayed in nautical miles nm statute miles SM or kilometres and is taken directly from your navigator The Large Cross Track Error alarm sounds if the cross track exceeds 03nm LARGE XTE DXXXX1 The direction of the error is identified as Pt port or Stb starboard To cancel the alarm press STANDBY to return to hand steering or AUTO to return to Auto mode Note If the Large Cross Track Error alarm sounds it is usually an indication that the cross tide is too great for the vessels current speed18 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Tidal Stream Compensation Under most conditions Track mode will hold the selected track to within 005nm 300ft or better The autopilot takes account of vessel speed when computing course changes to ensure optimum performance over a wide range of vessel speeds If speed data is available the autopilot uses the measured vessel speed Otherwise the Speed Over Ground SOG or specified cruise speed is used depending on the calibration setting see Dealer Setup in Chapter 5 Vessels speed Vessels Waypoint Arrival and Advance If your navigation receiver transmits valid NMEA waypoint number and bearing to waypoint data it is possible to advance from one waypoint to the next by simply pressing TRACK Arrival As the vessel passes the target waypoint the navigation receiver should select manually or automatically the next target waypoint The autopilot detects the new target waypoint number sounds the Waypoint Advance alarm and displays the Waypoint Advance information This display shows the new bearing to waypoint and the direction the boat will turn to acquire the new track To accept the new target waypoint press TRACKChapter 3 Advanced Operation 19 Skipping a Waypoint SeaTalk Navigators Only If you wish to advance to the next waypoint before you have arrived at the target waypoint press TRACK for 1 second The Waypoint Advance information for the next waypoint is displayed Advance While the waypoint advance alarm is sounding Track mode is suspended and the autopilot maintains the current boat heading 1 Check that it is safe to turn onto the new track 2 Press the TRACK key This will cancel the waypoint arrival alarm and turn the boat towards the next waypoint Unless the Waypoint Advance is accepted in the above manner the alarm will continue to sound and the current heading will be maintained Dodges Full control is still available from the keypad when the autopilot is in Track mode Initiating a Dodge Manoeuvre In track mode dodge manoeuvres are accomplished by simply selecting the desired course change using the course change keys 1 1 10 or 10 Cancelling a Dodge Manoeuvre Once the hazard has been avoided the course change selected for the dodge manoeuvre should be cancelled by selecting an equal course change in the opposite direction Note Provided the vessel remains within 01nm of track there is no need to steer back towards the track Safety Passage making in Track mode removes the chores of compensating for wind and tidal drift and will aid precise navigation However it is important to maintain an accurate log with regular plots Position Confirmation at the Start of a Passage At the start of a passage you must always confirm the fix given by the position transducer using an easily identifiable fixed object Check for fixed positional errors and compensate for them20 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Verifying Computed Positions Verify the computed position with a dead reckoned position calculated from the average course steered and the distance logged Plot Frequency In open water plots should be at least hourly In confined waters or when potential hazards are near plots should be more frequent Local variations in radio signal quality and changes in the tidal stream will produce deviations from the desired track Setting Waypoints When setting waypoints remember that deviations will occur Thoroughly check along each track Check up to 05nm each side of the track to ensure that there are no hazards within the zone General The use of track mode will enable accurate track keeping even in complex navigational situations However it cannot remove the responsibility of the skipper to ensure the safety of his vessel at all times by careful navigation and frequent position checks 32 Operation in Vane Mode WindTrim Vane mode also known as WindTrim allows the autopilot to maintain a course relative to an apparent wind angle It uses wind trim to eliminate the effects of turbulence and short term wind variations and provides smooth precise performance under Vane mode operation with minimal power consumption Vane mode uses the fluxgate compass as the primary heading reference and as changes in the apparent wind angle occur the locked compass heading is adjusted to maintain the original apparent wind angle To use Vane mode the autopilot must receive wind information from one of the following sources SeaTalk Wind instrument connected to the autopilot via SeaTalk NMEA wind information Raymarine wind vane connected to a SeaTalk interface boxChapter 3 Advanced Operation 21 Selecting Vane Mode Vane mode can be selected from either Standby or Auto modes as follows 1 Steady the vessel onto a heading at which the apparent wind angle is close to angle you require 2 Press STANDBY and AUTO together to select Vane mode and lock the current apparent wind angle stdby auto WIND 145P DXXXX1 The locked heading is displayed in large characters The locked apparent wind angle is displayed above the heading with an P port or S starboard direction indicator The boat heading is adjusted by the autopilot to maintain the locked apparent wind angle Adjusting the Locked Wind Angle The locked wind angle can be adjusted by changing course using the 1 1 10 and 10 keys For example to bear away by 10 when the vessel is on starboard tack press 10 to turn the vessel 10 to port The locked apparent wind angle and locked heading both change by 10 The new apparent wind angle is maintained and the locked heading adjusted by the autopilot as required Note This method does not apply to systems using the Type 100300 Course Computer Also this method should only be used for minor adjustments to the apparent wind angle since turning the boat affects the relationship between the true and apparent wind angles For major changes return to Standby mode steer onto the new heading and reselect Vane mode22 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Returning to the Previous Apparent Wind Angle LAST WND If for any reason the vessel is steered away from the selected apparent wind angle for example a dodge manoeuvre or selecting Standby you can return to the previous locked wind angle 1 Press STANDBY and AUTO together for 1 second to display the previous apparent wind angle LAST WND stdby auto LAST DXXXX1 The LAST WND text alternates with the previous wind angle and direction The previous locked heading is displayed with an indicator to show you the direction in which the vessel will turn 2 Check that it is safe to turn on to this course 3 To accept this apparent wind angle press STANDBY and AUTO together within 7 seconds If you do not accept the previous wind within this time the autopilot will lock on to the current apparent wind angle Dodges Full control is still available from the keypad when the autopilot is in Vane mode Dodge manoeuvres are accomplished by simply selecting the desired course change using the course change keys 1 1 10 or 10 Both the locked heading and locked apparent wind angle are adjusted Once the hazard has been avoided you can reverse the previous course change or return to the previous apparent wind angle LAST WNDChapter 3 Advanced Operation 23 Wind Shift Alarm The wind shift alarm sounds and the text WINDSHIFT is displayed if a wind shift of more than 15 is detected 1 Press STANDBY to cancel the alarm and return to hand steering and steer onto the required heading 2 Press STANDBY and AUTO together to return to Vane mode with the new apparent wind angle Using AutoTack in Vane Mode The automatic tack function when used in Vane mode turns the vessel so that the locked apparent wind angle is changed to an equal angle on the opposite bow Initially the autopilot turns the vessel through the specified tack angle the factory default is 100 Then the locked heading is adjusted until the required apparent wind angle is achieved To tack to starboard press the 1 and 10 keys together To tack to port press the 1 and 10 keys together Note If you use the Autotack function in Vane mode it is important to check that the wind vane has been centred accurately when it was installed Also the AutoTack feature cannot be adjusted if you are using a Type 100300 Course Computer24 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit AutoTack Angle Automatic Course Ajustment If Required to Mirror the Previous Apparent Wind Angle Apparent Wind Angle D33911 Operating Hints Major changes to the selected apparent wind angle should be made by returning to Standby mode changing course manually then reselecting Vane Mode Vane mode filters the windvane output This provides the optimum response for offshore conditions where genuine shifts in wind direction occur gradually In gusty and unsteady inshore conditions it is best to sail a few degrees further off the wind so that changes in apparent wind direction can be tolerated It is important to ensure that the amount of standing helm is minimised by careful sail trimming and positioning of the mainsheet traveller The headsail and mainsail should be reefed a little early rather than too lateChapter 3 Advanced Operation 25 33 Adjusting Autopilot Performance The response level and rudder gain can be adjusted during normal operation using a combined keypress The default calibration settings for response and rudder gain refer to Dealer Setup are restored when the system is powered on Changing the Response Level Auto Seastate The response level controls the relationship between the autopilots course keeping accuracy and the amount of helmdrive activity Response Level 1 Auto Seastate Automatic Deadband causes the autopilot to gradually ignore repetitive movements of the vessel and only react to true variations in course This provides the best compromise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy and is the default calibration setting Response Level 2 Minimum Deadband provides the tightest course keeping possible However tighter course keeping results in increased power consumption and drive unit activity Response Level 3 also Minimum Deadband provides the tightest course keeping possible by introducing yaw damping requires a rate gyro and is only available with course computer systems The response can be changed at any time To do so 1 Press the 1 and 1 keys together momentarily to display the Response screen 2 Press 1 or 1 to change the response level 3 Wait for 5 seconds or press to return to the previous display Normal Operation BOAT RESP RESP HDG DXXXX126 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Changing the Rudder Gain Press the 1 and 1 keys together for 1 second to display the Rudder Gain screen and adjust the setting in the same way as for the response level Refer to Chapter 7 Post Installation Procedures for instructions on how to check that the rudder gain is set correctly Warning It is important that the rudder gain is correctly set on planing craft Incorrect adjustment will lead to poor steering performance and is dangerous at high speeds 34 Alarms This section

SeaTalk system When you first enter a code and activate CodeLock the code is sent to all the units on the system After this whenever you power on the system the units will only start up if they receive the correct code Remember to fix a CodeLock sticker by each instrument to deter potential thieves 41 CodeLock Modes When you set up CodeLock you can choose whether the code will be sent automatically or must be entered manually at power on as follows Auto mode is used when there is a display unit situated in a secure location ideally below deck or one which can be unplugged and removed to a secure location You enter your chosen code on this master unit when you first activate CodeLock This code is then automatically sent to all display heads on SeaTalk without further intervention every time the system is powered on Manual mode is used to provide a higher degree of security perhaps when all your instruments are mounted in exposed locations In this case you must enter your personal code every time the system is switched on The code can be entered into any convenient control unit and is then sent to all the other compatible units via SeaTalk 42 Setting Up

fluorescent lights engines radio transmitting equipment etcChapter 6 Installation 53 EMC Installation Guidelines The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories conforms to the appropriate Compatibility EMC standards but good installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised To avoid the risk of operating problems all Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it should be At least 1m 3 feet from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals eg VHF radios cables and antennas In the case of SSB radios the distance should be increased to 2m 7ft More than 2m 6ft from the path of a radar beam A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the one used for engine start Voltage drops below 10v in the power supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset This will not damage the equipment but will cause the loss of some information and can change the operating mode Genuine Raymarine cables should be used at all times Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable this ferrite should not be removed If the ferrite has to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position If your Raymarine equipment will be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine a suppression ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the Raymarine unit The following illustration shows the range of suppression ferrites fitted to Raymarine equipment54 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit 62 Connections The cable connections

manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories conforms to the appropriate Compatibility EMC standards but good installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions engine starting etc In some installations it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences In general this will not damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting or momentarily may result in faulty operation64 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit 72 Initial Sea Trial Having checked that the system is functioning correctly a short sea trial is now required to complete the setup It involves the following procedures Automatic compass deviation correction Heading alignment adjustment Autopilot operation check Rudder gain adjustment The initial sea trial should be performed in the following circumstances After all the installation functional test and initial calibration have been completed successfully Before any other changes have been made to the default calibration settings check and if necessary reset the values to the recommended levels as described in Chapter 5 In conditions of light wind and calm water so that autopilot performance can be assessed without the influence of strong winds or large waves In waters clear of any obstructions Note At any time during the sea trial you can press STANDBY to return to hand steering Automatic Compass Deviation Correction The autopilot will correct the fluxgate compass for most deviating magnetic fields Compass errors due to deviating magnetic fields can be as great as15 or even 45 depending on your vessel type The correction procedure reduces these to a few degrees so it is essential to perform the procedure as the first item in your initial sea trial Caution Failure to carry out the deviation correction may result in impaired autopilot performance on some compass headings To allow the system to determine the deviation and calculate any correction required you must turn your vessel in slow circles This procedure must be carried out in calm conditions and preferably in flat waterChapter 7 Post

Setup options are always saved on exit Further Heading Alignment Adjustment You should always check the compass alignment after swinging the compass However once the initial deviation correction procedure has been performed you can make adjustments to the alignment as often as you wish without swinging the compass again Although the compass deviation correction procedure removes most of the alignment error you will probably be left with small errors of the order of a few degrees that will vary depending on the heading Ideally you should check the heading reading against a number of known headings plot a deviation curve and determine the heading alignment value that will give the lowest average alignment error This value can then be entered on the Heading Alignment screen as described above If the average heading error is more than 5 you should perform the compass deviation correction procedure again Checking Autopilot Operation Having calibrated the compass the following procedure is recommended to familiarise yourself with autopilot operation 1 Steer onto a compass heading and hold the course steady 2 Press AUTO to lock onto the current heading A constant heading should be achieved in calm sea conditions 3 Use the 1 10 1 and 10 keys to alter course to port or starboard in multiples of 1 and 10 4 Press STANDBY and disengage the autopilot to return to hand steering68 ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Checking the Rudder Gain The factory setting for rudder gain will provide stable control for initial sea trials However vessels can vary widely in their response to the helm and further adjustment to the rudder gain may improve the autopilots steering It is important to ensure that rudder gain is set correctly on high speed craft Incorrect adjustment will lead to poor steering performance and is dangerous at high speeds The following test will determine whether the rudder gain is set too high or too low 1 In clear water and with the autopilot in Auto alter course to starboard by 40 by pressing the 10 key four times At cruising speeds course changes of 40 should result in crisp turns followed by an overshoot of no more than 5 If this occurs the rudder gain is adjusted correctly An excessively high rudder setting results in oversteer This is recognised by a distinct overshoot of more than 5 A This condition can be corrected by reducing the rudder gain setting Similarly an insufficient rudder control setting will result in understeer which gives sluggish steering performance B If the vessel takes a long time to make the turn and there is no overshoot then the rudder setting is too lowChapter 7 Post Installation Procedures 69 These actions are most easily recognised in calm sea conditions where wave action does not mask basic steering performance 2 Refer to Chapter 5 Customising the System for instructions on how to adjust the default rudder gain setting Note that you can also make temporary adjustments to rudder gain during normal operation see Section 33 3 Repeat the test until a crisp course change with no more 5 of overshoot is achieved The rudder control setting should be set to the lowest setting consistent with accurate course keeping This will minimise helm movements and hence reduce power consumption and wear and tear70 ST600R Autopilot Control UnitChapter 8 Maintenance 71Chapter 8 Maintenance General In certain conditions condensation may appear on the LCD window This will not harm the unit and can be cleared by switching on the illumination for a while Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean your autopilot If the pilot is dirty wipe it with a clean damp cloth Periodically check the cabling for chafing or damage to the outer casing replace any damaged cables Servicing and Safety Raymarine

CODE at power on The CodeLock code must be entered manually see Chapter 4 The displayed compass heading does not agree with the ships compass The compass has not been corrected for deviation carry out the deviation and alignment procedures Vessel turns slowly and takes a long time to come on to course Rudder gain too low Vessel overshoots when turning on to a new course Rudder gain too high The autopilot appears to be unstable in Track mode or track holding is slow If tide speed exceeds 35 of boat speed and boat speed is not available via SeaTalk change the Cruise Speed setting in Dealer Setup from Auto A to the boats cruising speed The autopilot appears to be unstable on Northerly headings in the Northern hemisphere and Southerly headings in the Southern hemisphere heading correction
