  • Page 26: Chapter 3: Advanced Operation

    3.1 Operation in Track mode Track mode is used to maintain a track between two waypoints created on a GPS, Decca, or Loran navigation system. The ST5000 Plus will then compute any course changes to keep your boat on track, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway.

  • Page 27: Automatic Acquisition

    Automatic acquisition Automatic acquisition can only be achieved if the pilot is receiving cross track error and bearing to waypoint information (via SeaTalk or NMEA 0183). It is initiated as follows: 1. Bring the vessel to within 0.1 nm of track. 2.

  • Page 28: Manual Acquisition

    Chapter 3: Advanced Operation • The display shows the new bearing to waypoint. Manual acquisition For manual track acquisition, when only cross track error data is available: 1. Steer the vessel to within 0.1 nm of track. 2. Bring the heading to within 5° of the bearing to the next waypoint. 3.

  • Page 29: Cross Track Error

    Cross track error Cross track error (XTE) is the distance between the current position and a planned route. This is displayed in nautical miles (nm), statute miles (SM) or kilometres, and is taken directly from your navigator. The Large XTE alarm sounds if the XTE exceeds 0.3 nm •...

  • Page 30: Waypoint Arrival And Advance

    Chapter 3: Advanced Operation The autopilot takes account of vessel speed when computing course changes to ensure optimum performance over a wide range of vessel speeds. If speed data is available, the ST5000 Plus uses the measured vessel speed. Otherwise, the Speed Over Ground (SOG) or specified cruise speed is used, depending on the calibration setting (see Dealer Setup in Chapter 4).

  • Page 52: Drive Type

    Chapter 4: Customising the ST5000 Plus Setting The default settings should provide optimum performance with the ST5000 Plus autopilots. However, depending on the vessel’s dynamic stability, an incorrect rate of trim application may result in poor course keeping due to autopilot instability. After gaining experience with the ST5000 Plus, you may wish to change the setting.

  • Page 53: Latitude

    Set AutoAdapt to nth in the northern hemisphere, or Sth in the southern hemisphere. You then need to enter your current latitude in the next setup screen, so that the ST5000 Plus can provide accurate course keeping by automatically adjusting the rudder gain depending on the heading.
