This guide

Before starting to install your S1000 Autopilot, please take time to read this guide. In particu- lar, please take note of the safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information at the end of this guide.

WARNING:

This product must be installed and operated in accordance with the Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to observe this could result in personal injury, damage to the boat and/or poor product performance.

The installation procedures are described in a rational sequence, but because of variations in boat design, space available etc, you may need to adapt the sequence to suit your particular circumstances.

Before you start fitting your S1000 Autopilot, we recommend you:

???Unpack your S1000 Autopilot and check that all parts are present.

???Plan your S1000 Autopilot installation so that you fit the components in the best possible locations.

Important note

The S1000 Autopilot must receive position information from a suitable GPS in order to function correctly. GPS systems compatible with SeaTalk or NMEA or both, are suitable. If you need advice as to which GPS to use, please contact your Raymarine dealer.

Planning

In order to make the installation as trouble free as possible, we strongly recommend you spend adequate time planning the best locations for your autopilot components. This is particularly important when considering the position of the autopilot pump, as hydraulic hoses are supplied in fixed lengths, so there are some limitations on the positioning of the autopilot pump with respect to the boat???s helm pump.

If you have internet access, please view the installation video on line at www.raymarine.com.

Before you disturb your hydraulic steering system, we strongly recommend that you consult the manufacturer and read the steering system manuals.

D7547-1

S1000 Autopilot Grounding

The S1000 Autopilot system requires an RF ground connection to be made, to ensure complete conformance with the EU regulations requirements AFTER installation. The RF ground connection is also essential to maintain the electromagnetic performance of the system in all installations, regardless of local regulations requirements (world wide).

Failure to provide an RF ground when the S1000 Autopilot is installed could result in a degraded electromagnetic performance and may affect the operation of the system.

The recommended MINIMUM requirement for an RF ground lead is:

???Flat, tinned copper braid, 0.25 inch (6.5 mm) width minimum. Equivalent stranded wire diameter 0.16 inch (4 mm)

GPS requirement

The S1000 must receive GPS information to function correctly. Use the Data Cable supplied, to connect the Course Computer to a GPS, using either of the following methods:

1.To a Raymarine GPS via SeaTalk connections.

2.To a Raymarine GPS via NMEA spur.

3. To a non-Raymarine GPS via NMEA spur.

NMEA connector (not supplied), from GPS

NMEA Spur

When connecting NMEA data from an external source, always connect via the NMEA spur on the Data Cable. Do NOT connect NMEA data from an external source directly to the connector on the Course Computer.

For details of the NMEA Spur connections, refer to Diagram D

Each time power is applied to an S1000 Autopilot connected to a Raymarine GPS (via NMEA or SeaTalk), the S1000 will set the GPS filtering to WEAK.

Using with Raymarine GPS

If a Raymarine GPS (such as the Raystar 120 or 125) is to be connected to the S1000 Autopilot via NMEA, the NMEA in and out, +ve and -ve lines must all be correctly connected.

Each time power is applied to an S1000 Autopilot connected to a Raymarine GPS (via NMEA or SeaTalk), the S1000 will set the GPS filtering to WEAK.

Data cable

CAUTION:

Before making any changes to the Data Cable, disconnect it from the Course Computer.

If it is more convenient to connect the NMEA spur to the GPS without using the NMEA connector, you can remove the connector and prepare the cable end as appropriate for your preferred method of connection. Refer to the wire identification table below, as necessary

D7596-1

7. Post installation

When you have completed the installation of your S1000 Autopilot, use the following procedures to:

???First carry out the Manual checks below, to check the the steering operation and check the system for leaks, then

???Carry out the Autopilot checks & setup procedures below, to check the autopilot operates the steering in the correct direction, and to set up the autopilot correctly.

Manual checks

With autopilot power off, turn the wheel from hard over port, to hard over starboard. If the steering operates satisfactorily and turns in the correct direction, proceed with the other post installation checks.

If the steering feels uneven and/or less responsive than it was before you installed your S1000 Autopilot, you may need to bleed the entire steering system. To do this, use the purge procedure at the following web address:

http://www.seastarsteering.com/OUTBOARD/oboard.htm?../FILL_PURGE/FillPurge.htm&1

Check for leaks (sheet 1)

Ensure all hydraulic joints are secure, then turn the wheel to port. When the hard over point is reached, continue turning to port to pressurize the port lines, until the safety valve releases. At this point, the fluid in the port lines will be at maximum pressure and the wheel has a 'lumpy' feel when turned further to port.

With the port lines at maximum pressure, check the port lines for leaks, paying particular attention to the joints.

If a leak occurs, turn the wheel to starboard to release the pressure, then repair the leak and repeat steps 1 & 2.

Continue on sheet 2

D7502-1

Check for leaks (sheet 2)

3. Turn the wheel to starboard, and when the hard over point is reached, continue turning to starboard to pressurize the starboard lines, until the safety valve releases. At this point, the fluid in the starboard line will be at maximum pressure and the wheel has a 'lumpy' feel when turned further to starboard.

4. With the starboard lines at maximum pressure, check the starboard lines for leaks, paying particular attention to the joints.

If a leak occurs, turn the wheel to port to release the pressure, then repair the leak and repeat steps 3 & 4.

5. After 24 hours, re-check the steering system to ensure there are still no hydraulic fluid leaks.

Autopilot checks & setup

WARNING:

Before switching on power to the course computer, make sure that personnel are clear of the steering gear and outboard motor(s), and that the boat is securely moored.

1.Switch on power to the S1000 system.

2.Carry out the Checking direction of turn procedure (below).

Information

To the best of our knowledge, the information in this guide was correct when it went to press. However, Raymarine cannot accept liability for any inaccuracies or omissions it may contain.

In addition, our policy of continuous product improvement may change specifications without notice. Therefore, Raymarine cannot accept liability for any differences between the product and this guide.

EMC Installation Guidelines

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product.

The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment.

For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:

???Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

???At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).

???More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.

???The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode.

???Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.

???If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.
