40 SmartPilot X-5 Sport installation & Setup Guide

Although the compass calibration removes most of the alignment error, small errors

(a few degrees) may remain. Once you have completed the initial compass

calibration, you can make further adjustments to the alignment without having to

swing the compass again.

Check the heading reading against a number of known headings, plot a deviation

curve, and determine the heading alignment value that will give the lowest average

alignment error. You can then enter this value on the Heading Alignment screen, as

described above.

If the average heading error is more than 5°, check there are no items close to the

compass that could cause an unwanted magnetic influence. You should also consider

moving the fluxgate compass and performing the compass deviation correction

procedure again, circling more slowly and in more favorable conditions.

Aligning rudder bar

If the rudder reference transducer is fitted, use this procedure to align the rudder bar

on the Pilot Controller display:

1. Access the

ALIGN RUDDER

AutoLearn

WARNING: Ensure there is enough clear sea space

The AutoLearn process takes the boat through a number of

maneuvers, which can result in sudden, sharp turns, especially

when the AutoLearn function is run on more maneuverable boats.

Therefore, ensure there is a significant amount of CLEAR SEA

SPACE in front of the boat, before starting an AutoLearn process.

The next stage of the Seatrial is to carry out an AutoLearn routine. AutoLearn is a self-

learning calibration feature that automatically adjusts rudder gain, counter rudder and

AutoTrim for optimum performance for your boat.

If you need to return to manual steering at any time during an AutoLearn routine or any

other procedure, press the

standby

button. NEVER compromise vessel safety.
