ST6000 Plus Autopilot Control Unit Owner's Handbook
If the ST6000 Plus is interfaced to a navigator, via its NMEA data port,
the interface can be checked by displaying the default Data Pages.
These are XTE, BTW, and DTW.
Press disp to display the first page, and check that the expected data is
displayed. Press disp again to check each successive page.
If dashes are displayed instead of data values, the cause could be one or
more of the following:
• A cabling error. Check for an open circuit, short circuit or reversed
wires.
• The navigator is not configured to transmit the required data format.
• The signals being received by the navigator are too weak for reliable
navigation. Refer to the navigator handbook for further action.
If the ST6000 Plus has been linked to other SeaTalk instruments via
SeaTalk, the link can be checked as follows:
1. Press standby.
2. Select display illumination level 3 on any other SeaTalk instrument
or autopilot control unit.
The ST6000 Plus should immediately respond by switching on its
display illumination.
If the illumination does not switch on then a cabling fault exists in the
SeaTalk cabling between the ST6000 Plus control head and the
instruments/control unit.
