Before using your pilot controller
Before using the pilot controller under way it is important that it is
properly commissioned and set up as described in the installation
instruction.
First time set up
The first ever time the pilot controller is powered on, you will be
shown on-screen instructions for the initial set up. If your pilot
controller has been installed by a professional installer, first time set
up and commissioning may already have been carried out, if unsure
check with the dealer.
The first time set up screens takes you through the following:
• Language selection
• Vessel type selection
If a pilot controller already exists on your system then this procedure
may be skipped and the p70 / p70r will adopt the same settings as
the already installed pilot controller.
Note: If calibration has not been undertaken then the display will
alarm 'Calibration required' and then show 'Starting' on the display
Commissioning
Before using your autopilot system for the first time you must ensure
that the system has been correctly commissioned in accordance
with the supplied installation instruction. Commissioning procedures
which must be carried out are:
• Dockside calibration (Dealer settings on SeaTalk)
• Seatrial calibration
