Page 10: Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your Autohelm ST30 Compass. The compass displays heading information directly from the fluxgate compass or, if the unit is used as a repeater, via the SeaTalk bus using data taken from another compass instrument or autopilot. -
Page 11: Important Information
Important Information All Autohelm equipment and accessories are designed to the highest standard for use in the leisure marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the latest Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but good installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. -

Power and data is received via SeaTalk. ST30 Compass & autopilot: 1 SeaTalk cable 2 Repeater instrument 3 SeaTalk cable 4 SeaTalk autopilot Important note... When the ST30 Compass is used with a SportPilot the fluxgate compass must be connected to the SportPilot and not the display head. - Page 14 1. With a hand bearing compass fixed to the proposed bulkhead, turn your vessel through 360° and check that the difference between the hand bearing compass and the ships compass does not exceed 10° on any heading. If difference does exceed 10° you will have to select a new location.

Page 20: Chapter 3: Calibration
Chapter 3: Calibration 3.1 About this Chapter Before the ST30 Compass system can be used as a navigational aid, the fluxgate compass MUST be linearised to compensate for deviation and the displayed heading MUST be aligned to a known transit bearing. - Page 21 If you turn your vessel too quickly the display changes to read SLO and the buzzer sounds. 4. Keeping turning your vessel until the display begins to alternate ST30 Compass Installation and Operation Handbook magnetic North indicators rotate to indicate that you are in linearisation mode.

Chapter 3: Calibration HEADING AVERAGE Please note... If the deviation exceeds 10° the fluxgate compass should be resited. Heading Alignment Once the compass has been successfully linearised, you must match the displayed heading to a known transit bearing. 1. From the compass deviation display, simply press 2. -
