  • Page 25: Chapter 3: Advanced Operation

    3.1 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.
  • Page 26: Automatic Acquisition

    Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 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 0.1nm of track 2.

    Track mode. • Make positive positional checks at regular intervals, especially if navigational hazards are close by. ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Previous Heading D3505-1...
  • Page 28: Cross Track Error

    Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 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 0.3nm.
  • Page 29: Tidal Stream Compensation

    ST600R Autopilot Control Unit Tidal Stream Compensation Under most conditions, Track mode will hold the selected track to within ±0.05nm (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.
  • Page 30: Skipping A Waypoint - Seatalk Navigators Only

    Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 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.
  • Page 31: Verifying Computed Positions

    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 box...
  • Page 32: Selecting Vane Mode

    Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 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.
  • Page 33: Returning To Previous Apparent Wind Angle (Last Wnd)

    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.
  • Page 34: Wind Shift Alarm

    Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 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.
  • Page 35: Operating Hints

    AutoTack Angle 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 off-shore conditions where genuine shifts in wind direction occur gradually.
  • Page 36: Adjusting Autopilot Performance

    Chapter 3: Advanced Operation 3.3 Adjusting Autopilot Performance The response level and rudder gain can be adjusted during normal operation using a combined key-press. 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 autopilot’s course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity.
  • Page 37: Changing The Rudder Gain

    Incorrect adjustment will lead to poor steering performance and is dangerous at high speeds. 3.4 Alarms This section summarises the alarms (in order of priority) that are reported by the ST600R. Press STANDBY to clear an alarm and return to hand steering, unless indicated otherwise. FAIL...
  • Page 38: Seatalk Failure

    This silent alarm indicates that there is a wiring fault in the SeaTalk connection. No Link This silent alarm indicates that there is no link between the ST600R and the course computer. Auto Release The Auto Release alarm is activated when an Raymarine stern drive actuator is returned to manual steering.
  • Page 39: Drive Stopped

    • Track mode is engaged and the autopilot is not receiving SeaTalk navigation data. • Track mode is engaged and the position transducer (GPS, Loran, Decca) is receiving a low strength signal – this will clear as soon as the signal strength improves.

  • Page 57: Power Steer

    After gaining experience with the ST600R, you may wish to change the setting. The effect of the setting must be evaluated while under sail. • Decrease the AutoTrim level if the autopilot gives unstable course keeping or excessive drive activity with a change in the heel angle.
  • Page 58: Rudder Damping

    Chapter 5: Customising the System Rudder Damping You only need to set this option if your system includes a rudder reference unit, and the drive “hunts” when trying to position the rudder. Test for this when your vessel is moored dockside, by pressing AUTO and then +10.
  • Page 59: Autoadapt

    AutoAdapt The patented AutoAdapt feature allows the autopilot to compensate for heading errors at higher latitudes, which are caused by the increasing dip of the earth’s magnetic field. The increased dip has the effect of amplifying rudder response on northerly headings in the northern hemisphere, and on southerly headings in the southern hemisphere.
  • Page 60: Auto Tack

    Chapter 5: Customising the System Auto Tack* The AutoTack angle is the angle through which the vessel will turn when the automatic tack feature is selected. The value must be within the range 40 ~ 125° and can be adjusted in 1° steps. Wind Trim* This varies the response of the autopilot when in wind mode.

The deck connector allows you to make connections directly to the autopilot, or any SeaTalk instrumentation, and can be connected in- line or as a spur (see below).
  • Page 63: Planning The Installation

    Choosing the Correct Connection Cable Because the range of Raymarine autopilots is extensive, the cable used to connect the ST600R must be ordered separately (see below). Part Number Cable Description D131 Round connectors at both ends, 9m (29ft.

  • Page 79: Checking The Rudder Gain

    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 autopilot’s steering characteristics. It is important to ensure that rudder gain is set correctly on high- speed craft.
  • Page 80 Chapter 7: Post Installation Procedures 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 3.3).
