    OPERATING INFORMATION SWITCHING ON The H3000 Pilot has two power supplies (instrument and heavy duty rudder drive supply) these are normally connected via circuit breaker. The Pilot computer and Pilot displays are powered via the Fastnet network cable and share the same source of power supply as the H3000 instrument system.

  • Page 69: Setting The Rudder Gain Value

    H3000 Pilot Handbook Observe the performance of the Pilot when changing course. The rudder gain value is inversely proportional, therefore if the rate of turn is too SLOW, REDUCE the value of rudder gain and the Pilot will use more rudder. If the rate of turn is too FAST, INCREASE the value of rudder gain and the Pilot will use less rudder.

  • Page 70: Checking The Boat Lag

    H3000 Pilot Handbook Step 4 ~ Boat lag Boat Lag is the time taken for the boat to respond to changes in helm. Heavy displacement hulls require a larger value for boat lag. Checking the Boat Lag At a speed not exceeding 15 knots, change course by 90o in either direction.

  • Page 74: Nav Source

    H3000 Pilot Handbook Nav Source Nav Source allows the selection of a NMEA input on the system to use as the primary source of navigation data for the Pilot Steer to Waypoint mode. In most systems, where there is only one source of NMEA navigation data, this can be left on the default setting of zero which will automatically prioritise the navigation data from that source.

  • Page 75: Magnetic Dip Zone

    H3000 Pilot Handbook Magnetic Dip Zone All magnetic compasses are affected by “northerly turning errors” in the northern hemisphere or “southerly turning errors” in the southern hemisphere, which increase with boat speed and magnetic DIP angle in higher latitudes. These can cause heading instability at boat speeds greater than 20 knots when steering with a Pilot.

  • Page 76: Pilot Speed Cal

    H3000 Pilot Handbook Pilot Speed Cal The ACP computer unit can take a direct speed input from a paddle wheel with a hall-effect output. Normally the Pilot uses boat speed supplied via the Fastnet network from the instrument system, this facility is only used when the installation does not include a compatible instrument system.

  • Page 77: Setting The Speed Calibration Value

    H3000 Pilot Handbook Setting the Speed Calibration value The speed cal reading is inversely proportional; i.e. to increase the boat speed, decrease the Hertz/Knot value. Joystick Type The joystick allows direct control of the rudder via the Pilot computer for quick and responsive steering.

  • Page 107 H3000 Pilot Handbook Fault 101 – Pilot Compass Failure Fault Description No valid data is being received from the Halcyon Gyro-Stabilised Compass (HGSC) sensor connected directly to the Pilot computer. Remedial Action Is an HGSC sensor in use? go to step (3)
  • Page 108 H3000 Pilot Handbook • If the indicator is erratic move to step (3) Check the voltage supply to the rudder reference is 4.5 to 5.0 volts. Check the signal from the rudder reference with a voltmeter at the Pilot computer With someone moving the helm slowly port to starboard (as in step 2) the voltage should change smoothly.
  • Page 109 H3000 Pilot Handbook from the Pilot electronics and test its operation when connected directly to the drive power supply. With Pilot engaged in "Power Steer" mode use the 10º and 1º port and starboard keys to move the rudder. If the motor fails to run disconnect the motor from Pilot electronics and test the operation when connected directly to power supply.
  • Page 110 H3000 Pilot Handbook Fault 105 - System Compass Failure Fault Description Heading data from an instrument system compass sensor has failed. Remedial Action Check the Heading Source is set correctly for the compass in use, see page 41 Check the heading data on the instrument system updates normally as the boat changes course.
  • Page 111 H3000 Pilot Handbook Fault 108 - Poor Quality NMEA Data Fault Description The value of XTE data being received via the instrument system has suddenly changed by more than 0.3 nautical miles. Remedial Action Check that the XTE data displayed on the instrument system is stable, accurate and updating regularly.
  • Page 112 H3000 Pilot Handbook Fault 110 - No Optimum Wind Data Fault Description No Optimum Wind Angle data is being received via the Fastnet network. Remedial Action Check the Optimum Wind Angle (OPT W/A) data displayed on the instrument system. Check connections to instrument system.
  • Page 113 H3000 Pilot Handbook Fault 112 - Network Communication Error Fault Description No regular messages are being received by the Pilot computer from the GPD via the Fastnet network, either the display is not transmitting messages or the Pilot computer is not receiving them.
  • Page 114 H3000 Pilot Handbook Fault 115 – Drive Power Failure: Check Supply Fault Description The Pilot processor PCB is unable to communicate with the drive PCB. Remedial Action Check to ensure the high current drive supply is present and is of the correct voltage.
  • Page 115 H3000 Pilot Handbook Pilot Does Not Steer in a Straight Line Fault Description The Pilot seems unable to steer straight, it continually overcorrects course errors; the wake has an "S" like appearance as the boat first steers several degrees off course to port followed by several degrees off course to starboard.
  • Page 116 H3000 Pilot Handbook Important Note When dealing with any hydraulic system great care must be taken to ensure that a high degree of cleanliness is observed and no dirt, moisture or foreign objects are allowed to enter the system. Only the recommended fluids must be used. Use Q8 DYNOBEAR or equivalent (10cSt at 40°...
