Chapter 2: SmartPilot Commissioning 27

2.2 Seatrial Calibration

When you have completed the dockside calibration, you must complete

SmartPilot setup by taking the boat on a short seatrial to:

1. Calibrate the compass:

• complete the automatic deviation correction

• align the compass heading

2. Adjust SmartPilot settings to suit your boat:

• automatically on S1G, S2G and S3G systems

• manually on Non-G systems

To achieve this you will need to enter another of the four calibration modes,

Seatrial Calibration. For more information on the various calibration modes

and their uses see page 39.

Seatrial safety

CAUTION: EMC conformance

Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is

not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.

Note: You can return to manual steering at any time during the seatrial by

pressing standby.

You should only perform the initial seatrial:

• when you have successfully completed the dockside calibration

• in conditions of light wind and calm water, so you can assess SmartPilot

performance without the influence of strong winds or large waves

• in waters that are clear of any obstructions, so the boat has plenty of clear

space to maneuver

Note: Before you start your seatrial, make sure you have switched on any

ancillary equipment – such as a GPS (providing course over ground (COG),

speed over ground (SOG) and latitude (LAT) data) or a speed log (providing

speed through the water). This information will help the SmartPilot achieve

best performance.
