Glossary

Term

Meaning

ac Alternating current.

AST Advanced Steering Technology (AST) is Raymarine’s unique advanced steering

algorithm. It uses inputs from a wide variety of sensors to tune the autopilot’s

operation to provide superior control of the boat in any condition.

AutoLearn Self-learning calibration feature available.

AutoTrim The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the autopilot applies ‘standing

helm’ to correct for trim changes caused by varying wind load on the boat.

AWG American Wire Gauge.

BTW Bearing to waypoint

CE Marked on Raymarine products that comply with defined European Community

standards.

Counter rudder Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the autopilot applies to try to prevent the

boat from yawing off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more rud-

der being applied.

dc Direct current.

EMC

(Electromagnetic

Compatibility)

When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields.

These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one

another, causing a degradation of their performance. Use the EMC guidelines in

this book, to ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) between

equipment and minimize any unwanted interactions.

Fluxgate Standard Raymarine compass supplied as part of the SPX-5R Drive system.

GPS Global Positioning System.

MOB Man overboard.

NM Nautical mile.

NMEA The NMEA (National Maritime Electronics Association) protocol is an interna-

tionally accepted serial communication interface standard for sharing data

between electronic equipment. Raymarine products can share information with

non-SeaTalk equipment using NMEA 0183 or NMEA2000 protocols.

Response The autopilot response level controls the relationship between course keeping

accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity.

Rudder gain Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the autopilot will apply to correct

course errors. The higher the setting the more rudder will be applied.

SeaTalk Raymarine’s proprietary communication system. It links Raymarine products to

provide a single, integrated system sharing power and data.

Variants are SeaTalk

and Seatalk

SM Statute (land) mile.

VHF Very High Frequency (radio).

XTE Cross track error.

Yaw

The boat’s rate of turn (°/sec).
