This chapter applies to systems where the ST6000 Plus has been
installed as the only control unit for a Type 100/300 Course Computer.
Once you have installed the system, you need to confirm that it is wired
correctly and is also set up to suit your type of boat.
This chapter provides instructions for the following procedures:
• Functional test, consisting of a few simple tests to confirm that the
system is wired correctly
• Initial sea trial, to swing the compass and align the heading, check
the autopilot's operation and check the rudder gain
Further customisation can be performed after the sea trial, as described
in Chapter 4.
Carry out:
1. The Switch on and initial test procedures, detailed in Chapter 5,
Installation
2. The procedures for Operating sense and Wind transducer
interface in this chapter
3. The Dealer setup procedure as detailed in Chapter 4, Customising
the System..
The operating sense defines the direction the helm will be applied when
a course change key is pressed or the vessel goes off course. Check the
operating sense as follows:
1. Press auto.
2. Press the +10 key. The helm should move to produce a turn to
starboard.
