Chapter 5: Commissioning the Tiller Pilot

This chapter explains how to commission your tiller pilot after installation. This

consists of a number of simple functional tests followed by a short sea trial.

1. Switch on the main power breaker.

2. The autopilot should beep and display the pilot number (ST1000 or ST2000).

3. Within 2 seconds, the display should show a flashing 'C' followed by the com-

pass heading (for example, C 234). This shows the autopilot is active.

If the tiller pilot does not beep or display the compass heading, please refer to the

Note:

Fault Finding section (see page 26).

course change key is pressed or the boat goes off course. To check the operating

sense:

1. Place the pushrod end over the tiller pin.

2. Press +10 .

3. The helm should move to produce a turn to starboard.

4. If the helm produces a turn to port, refer to the following instructions on

reversing the operating sense.
