Chapter 2: Commissioning Procedures

2.1 Requirement

WARNING: Product installation & operation
ST70+ products connected to SeaTalk
accordance with the Commissioning Procedures, before being used for
operational purposes. Failure to comply with this could result in death,
personal injury, damage to your boat and/or poor product performance.
Before an ST70+ system is used for the first time, it must be commissioned in accor-
dance with the instructions in this chapter. Commissioning comprises:

1. Initial setup.

2. Dockside setup.
3. Open water calibration.
4. Checking autopilot operation.
Note:
If your ST70+ product is connected to an existing SeaTalk
cessfully commissioned, you do not need to commission the system again.

Autopilot calibration

The detailed requirement for autopilot calibration is determined by the autopilot. The
autopilot calibration procedures in this chapter are those for a 'typical' Raymarine
autopilot system. If necessary adapt these procedures to suit your system. If you
need assistance, please contact your Raymarine dealer.

Control information

As the ST70+ displays do not have fitted controls, all control actions are made at the
appropriate ST70+ keypad. Wherever an instruction calls for a button to be pressed or
a control to be operated, this refers to the appropriate keypad.
2.2 Initial setup
Carry out the initial setup procedures in the following sequence:
• Switch on.
• Selecting language.
• Setting vessel type.
• Setting display types and groups.
• Allocate keypad.
• Set date and time format (only if GPS is fitted).
