Chapter 1: Basic Operation

1.1 Introduction

The SmartPilot X-5 (SPX-5R) Drive system is intended for use as an aid to steering

leisure marine craft with a fully-laden displacement up to a maximum of:

• 4400 pounds (2000 kg) for mechanically steered craft.

• 7500 pounds (3500 kg) for power steered craft.

Your SPX-5R Drive system is controlled by a Raymarine ST6002 Pilot Controller

(supplied), and operates in the following modes:

• Standby: SmartPilot off. You have manual control of the boat.

• Auto: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a locked heading.

• Track: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a track between two waypoints

created on a navigation aid.

The SPX-5R Drive system also provides:

• Enhanced course keeping using AST (Advanced Steering Technology).

• AutoLearn, Raymarine’s self-learning calibration system.

Extended systems

You can connect the Pilot Controller to other Raymarine SeaTalk equipment so it can

send and receive SeaTalk data. The Pilot Controller uses:

• Waypoint information from a SeaTalk navigation instrument to provide track

control.

• Boat speed information from a SeaTalk speed instrument to optimize track-

keeping performance.

You can also use the SPX-5R Drive system with SeaTalk

(refer to the SeaTalk

Reference Manual), or with any navigator or instrument that transmits National

Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183. The SPX-5R Drive system is also

compatible with NMEA2000 data, accessed via SeaTalk

The Pilot Controller can display SeaTalk and NMEA instrument data in a user-defined

selection of data pages.
