About this handbook

Welcome to the handbook for the ST4000+ wheel and tiller autopilot systems. This handbook contains two main parts:

1.2 Extended systems

The ST4000+ is compatible with all other SeaTalk instruments. You can connect it to additional fixed or handheld SeaTalk autopilot control units located at secondary steering and control positions (see page 52). You can also use the ST4000+ autopilot with any navigator (GPS, Decca, Loran) or wind instrument that transmits data in the internationally-accepted National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 format. The ST4000+ can display SeaTalk and NMEA instrument data in a user-defined selection of data pages. When you are using the ST4000+ to repeat instrument data, it shows a pop-up pilot page for 5 seconds whenever you make a change in autopilot control. The ST4000+ can share all data transmitted from SeaTalk instruments: it can use wind information from a SeaTalk wind instrument for wind trim steering in Wind Vane mode without the need for a separate vane it can use track information from a SeaTalk navigation instrument to provide waypoint control in Track mode it can use boat speed from a SeaTalk speed instrument to optimize track-keeping performance
Rudder position sensor (wheel drives only)
On wheel drive systems you can fit a rudder position sensor to improve the wheel pilots performance (see page 81). This is particularly advisable if your boats steering system has significant backlash, or you require optimum performance from a mechanical or cable steering system. By using the information from the rudder angle sensor, the ST4000+ will also be able to show the true rudder angle in Standby and Auto modes. Note: You MUST add a rudder position sensor if fitting the ST4000+ to a hydraulic steering system.
Chapter 2: Basic Operation
The sections in this chapter explain how to use the basic functions on your autopilot:
Using the control unit Summarizes the key functions and screen layout on the ST4000+ control unit. Using Auto mode Provides instructions for engaging/disengaging the autopilot and using Auto mode. Adjusting autopilot performance Making temporary adjustments to response level and rudder gain to enhance autopilot performance. Autopilot alarms Describes how to recognize and respond to the autopilot alarms. Adjusting display and keypad lighting Explains how to change the lighting on the control unit display and keypad.

2. When safely clear of the obstacle, you can either: reverse the previous course change (for example, press +10 three times), or return to the previous locked heading (LAST HDG)
Returning to the previous locked heading (LAST HDG)
If you have steered the boat away from the selected locked heading for any reason (for example, executing a dodge maneuver or selecting Standby), you can return to the previous locked heading as follows: 1. Press auto for 1 second. The display shows the previous locked heading (LAST HDG?) for 7 seconds.

Note: The direction-to-steer indicator shows the direction the boat will turn. 2. To accept the previous heading, and resume this course, press auto within this 7 second period.

Obstacle Resumed course

D5431-1
Note: If you do not press auto while the display is flashing, the autopilot will maintain the current heading.
Automatic tack (AutoTack)
The ST4000+ has a built in automatic tack facility (AutoTack) that turns the boat through a pre-determined angle in the required direction. The default AutoTack angle is 100, but you can adjust this in Dealer setup (see page 109).

Making major course changes
Only make major course changes when steering MANUALLY. This ensures that the boat will safely clear any obstructions or other boats, and you can take into account the changed wind and sea conditions on the new heading before engaging the autopilot. Large course changes which change the apparent wind direction can produce large trim changes. When a sudden trim change occurs (for example due to weather helm or sail imbalance) there will be a delay of up to one minute before the automatic trim applies rudder to restore the locked heading. In these situations, the autopilot will not immediately assume the new automatic heading, and will only settle onto course when the automatic trim has been fully established. To eliminate this problem, use the following procedure to make major course changes:
1. Note the required new heading. 2. Select standby for manual steering, so you can bring the boat to the new heading MANUALLY. 3. Select auto: allow the boat to settle onto course, then bring the boat to the final course in 1 steps using the -1 or +1 keys

Gusting conditions

In gusting conditions, the course may tend to wander slightly, particularly if the sails are badly balanced. If you take the following precautions, the autopilot will be able to maintain competent control even in gale force conditions: You can significantly improve course keeping by improving the sail balance: do not allow the boat to heel over excessively ease the mainsheet traveller to leeward to reduce heeling and weather helm if necessary, reef the mainsail a little early In very strong winds and large seas, you should avoid sailing with the wind dead astern: ideally, bring the wind at least 30 away from a dead run in severe conditions, you may also need to remove the mainsail and sail under headsail only 2 Basic Operation

Wheel drive: drive belt slips in Auto mode (motor operates but drive does not turn wheel) Wheel drive: drive belt drags in Standby mode
Loosen the clutch see page 37.

4.2 General maintenance

The control unit, fluxgate compass, tiller drive and rudder position sensor do not contain any user serviceable parts. These products should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine service technicians.

Routine maintenance

After each trip, flush inside the drive unit by inserting a hose pipe in the free slot on the back cover.

Cleaning the wheel drive

Do not use mineral-based solvents (such as WD40) to lubricate or clean the wheel drive as they will damage the material. We recommend that you complete the following steps each season to prevent the build-up of salt on the wheel drive bearings and drive belt: 1. Remove the wheel drive from the wheel: remove the wheel from the pedestal remove the spoke clamp screws remove the wheel drive front cover 2. Check inside the drive unit for any signs of damage. 3. Thoroughly flush the wheel drive interior with fresh water to remove any salt build-up on the bearings and drive belt. Do not lubricate any part of the wheel drive. It is designed to run without lubrication. 4. Replace the front cover then fit wheel drive back onto the wheel. 5. Fit the wheel and wheel drive back onto the pedestal. 6. Clean the wheel drive case (using mild detergent if necessary), then flush thoroughly with fresh water.

Adjusting the clutch

You need to adjust the clutch if the drive belt slips in Auto mode or drags in Standby mode. In normal use, you can tell if the clutch is slipping if the motor operates but the drive does not turn the wheel. To adjust the clutch, first make sure that the autopilot is in Standby mode and the clutch is disengaged. Then: 1. Use a 3 mm allen key (supplied) to loosen the clutch knob screw about 2 turns anti-clockwise. 2. Turn the clutch knob either 4 clicks clockwise to tighten the clutch, or 4 clicks anti-clockwise to loosen the clutch. 3. Use the allen key to re-tighten the clutch knob screw. 4. Check that the wheel still moves freely with the clutch off. Note: If the wheel does not move freely, reduce the clutch tension by turning the clutch knob 2 clicks anti-clockwise and check again 5. Check the drives operation with the clutch engaged. This procedure is usually sufficient to correct a slipping or dragging drive belt. In some cases, however, you may need to repeat the steps to adjust the clutch further.

D5349-2

Replacing the belt
The drive belt is designed to be user serviceable. If there is insufficient adjustment to cure a slipping clutch, or if the drive belt is damaged in any way (if it is broken, frayed or stretched), you should replace the drive belt. You can obtain a replacement belt from any Raymarine dealer (part number A18083). Fitting instructions are supplied with the belt.

User serviceable parts

You can obtain the following 4000 mk2 wheel drive spare parts from your Raymarine dealer:
Part description Front cover Clutch lever Clutch knob Pedestal bracket (torque restraint) Drive belt Clutch kit (clutch eccentric and clutch roller) Single spoke clamp, screws and inserts Part number A18074 A18077 A18078 A18080 A18083 A18084 A18089

Control unit

Routine checks
The control unit is a sealed unit. As a result, user maintenance is limited to the following routine checks:
make sure all cable connectors are firmly attached examine the cables for signs of wear or damage replace any damaged cables

Cleaning the display

Take care when cleaning the display. Do not wipe the display screen with a dry cloth as this could scratch the screen coating. Do not use acid, ammonia based or abrasive products. Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the control unit. If the control unit is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. In certain conditions, condensation may appear inside the display screen. This will not harm the unit, and you can clear it by switching on the illumination for a short time.

EMC advice

When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. To minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Always report any EMC-related problems to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards. In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation. 4 Maintenance & Fault Finding

D288-2

Mounting the cantilever assembly
To mount the cantilever assembly: 1. Temporarily assemble the cantilever by screwing the rod into the mounting ring. 2. Ensure the drive unit is horizontal and then mark the location of the mounting ring and its mounting holes. 3. Drill three 6 mm (1/4 in) diameter holes at the positions you have marked. 4. Bed the mounting ring on a thin coat of silicon sealant. 5. Use three 6 mm (1/4 in) diameter bolts, nuts and washers to attach the mounting ring to the backing plate (with the backing plate on the other side of the mounting surface, as shown above). 6. Screw the rod firmly into place. 7. Roughen the end of the cantilever rod and the inside of the cap to provide a key. Then apply two part epoxy adhesive to the rod end and the cap. 8. Place the cap over the rod end, making sure the hole for the drive unit mounting pin faces upwards. Allow the epoxy adhesive to harden fully before applying a load. Note: When the autopilot is not in use, you can unscrew the complete rod assembly to leave the cockpit unobstructed.

Pedestal socket mounting

5 Installing the ST4000+ If you need to raise the height of the drive unit mounting socket to keep the tiller drive horizontal, use a Raymarine pedestal socket assembly.
Identifying the correct pedestal socket

Mounting the pedestal socket
1. Mark the mounting rings position on the cockpit seat or counter. 2. Ensure that control dimensions A and B are correct. 3. Mark the bolt holes on the mounting ring and then drill three 6 mm (1/4 in) diameter holes.
4. Bed the mounting ring on a thin coat of silicon sealant. 5. Use three 6 mm (1/4 in) diameter bolts, nuts and washers to attach the mounting ring to the backing plate (with the backing plate on the other side of the mounting surface, as shown above). 6. Screw the mounting socket firmly into place. Note: When the autopilot is not in use, you can unscrew the complete rod assembly to leave the cockpit unobstructed.

Tiller pins

Your Raymarine dealer can also supply the following lengths of tiller pin for other non-standard installations.
Description Small threaded tiller pin Extra length tiller pin Extra length threaded tiller pin Size 25 mm (1.0 in) 72 mm (2.8 in) 72 mm (2.8 in) Part no. D014 D020 D021
Connect the tiller drive to the control unit via the waterproof plug and socket (supplied). The plug comes ready assembled to the tiller drive. Mount the socket in the cockpit next to the tiller drive.

Cabling

1. Measure the total length of cable run from the control unit to the socket location. Use this table to identify the appropriate power cable size:
Cable length Up to 2.5 m (8 ft) Up to 4.0 m (13 ft) Up to 6.0 m (22 ft) Copper area 1.0 mm 1.5 mm 2.5 mm
2. Route the cable from the control unit to the socket location. 3. Use a suitable tool to crimp the spade receptacles (supplied) to the two cores. 4. Connect them as shown to the Drive terminals on the control unit.

Installing the socket

D5406-1

4. Repeat step 3 to fit the other 2 spoke clamps. As you fit each one, adjust the position of the wheel relative to the wheel drive so the holes in the clamp line up with the holes in the cover. As you do this, the wheel drive will self-center on the wheel. 5. After fitting all 3 spoke clamps, fully tighten the screws.
Attaching the pedestal bracket
5 Installing the ST4000+ Note: If your wheel is bulkhead or box pedestal mounted, you will need to obtain a bulkhead fitting kit (part number E15017) from your Raymarine dealer. Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.

Motor tube location

Depending on the design of your pedestal and any surrounding obstructions, you can mount the wheel drive in one of two ways: Slot 1 installation: the standard position uses slot 1 on the back of the wheel drive (the slot closest to the motor tube) so the motor tube is at the bottom to the right of the pedestal Slot 2 installation: the alternative installation uses slot 2 to position the motor tube at the top to the left of the pedestal
Select the appropriate slot so the motor tube is clear of obstructions.
If you use slot 2 and you have a pedestal-mounted compass, the drive motor may affect compass readings.

Pedestal bracket length and position
Note: If you are replacing an existing 4000 wheel drive, you need to: remove the old pedestal bracket, cut the new bracket pin to the correct length (see steps 2 and 3 below), then secure it in the standard orientation using the existing pedestal holes. 1. Fit the wheel onto the pedestal, tighten the wheel nut to hold the wheel in place, and engage the wheel drives clutch: if possible, lock the wheel in position with the appropriate slot centered at the bottom of the wheel otherwise, you will find it useful to have an assistant to hold the wheel in position so you can locate the bracket correctly 2. Measure dimension A the distance between the front of the pedestal and the rear edge of the drives front cover (see diagram): you may find it easiest to hold the bracket below the wheel drive and mark dimension A directly on the pin

Cut here

D5343-2

Note: If the wheel is bent or not running true, dimension A will change with the wheel position. Measure the smallest distance. 3. Use a hacksaw to cut the pin 10 mm (0.4 in) LONGER than dimension A. Remove any sharp edges at the cut end with sandpaper or a file. 4. Place the pin end in slot 1 or 2 (as required): to do this you may need to loosen the wheel nut so you can slide the wheel forward slightly, place the pin end in the slot, return the wheel to its normal position and re-tighten the wheel nut
Note: You can install the pedestal bracket either way up. In the standard orientation the pin is at the bottom (below the mounting holes see diagram). If obstructions on the pedestal prevent you from using the standard orientation, you can install the bracket so the pin is at the top (above the mounting holes).
Standard (also for retro-fit) Alternative

D5408-3

5. Making sure the slot is central at the bottom of the drive unit (6 oclock position) and the pin is in the middle of the slot, carefully draw around the bracket.

D5345-2

6. Remove the wheel, then hold the bracket on the pedestal in the location you have marked. 7. Check the position and alignment of the pedestal bracket: the bracket pin should be 154 mm (6.1 in) below the pedestal spindle (see the following diagram) the bracket pin should be aligned so it is directly below the pedestal spindle (see the following diagram)

154 mm (6.1 in)

D5346-2
8. When the pedestal bracket is correctly positioned and aligned, mark around the inside of the slots, then remove the bracket. 9. Use a center-punch to mark the center of each slot, then use the smaller supplied drill bit to drill a 4.0 mm (5/32 in) diameter hole. Note: Drill at right angles to the pedestal surface.

D5344-2

10. Hold the bracket in place then lightly tighten the four cross-head screws (No 10 x 3/4 in). As you do this, make sure the bracket is correctly aligned. 11. Replace the wheel, making sure that you locate the pin in the correct slot (slot 1 or slot 2). 12. Turn the wheel with the clutch off to check that the bracket is correctly positioned and aligned.
Note: If the wheel is bent or the wheel drive is off center, the pin will move up and down in the back plate slot. As long as the pin does not hit the top or bottom of the slot, this pin movement will not affect the drive units performance. 13. When you have checked alignment, fully tighten all four screws.
When you have attached the pedestal bracket, you need to connect the wheel drive to the control unit. The drive unit is supplied with 4.5 m (15 ft) of 2-core cable with a waterproof socket at one end. 1. Connect the socket to the plug on the wheel drives motor tube: remove the socket cover pull back the plug cover align the locking ring, plug and socket as shown below

4. Press the -1 or +1 key to change the setting from OFF to YES. You will then see the TURN BOAT page.

D3451-2

5. Keeping the boat speed below 2 knots, turn your boat in slow circles. You should take at least 3 minutes to complete each 360.

Minimum of 2 circles

D3326-2
What if I turn the boat too quickly?
If you turn the boat too quickly for the autopilot to correct the compass, the screen will display a TOO FAST message. Apply less helm to turn in a larger circle.

D3452-2

Can I cancel the process?
You can abort the correction process by pressing the disp key to move onto the DEVIATION screen.
Note: If you want to attempt deviation correction again, you can step back to the Swing Compass page or keep pressing disp to cycle through the calibration options until the page is displayed again. (To step back to the previous screen, press and hold the disp key for one second. You can only do this within two seconds of advancing to the current screen.) Repeat the procedure from step 4. 6. Keep turning the boat until the unit beeps and displays the DEVIATION screen to indicate that compass correction has been completed successfully. This shows the maximum deviation as an average over 360 (not as an east/west value).

D3458-2

Note: If the deviation value exceeds 15 or the display shows no deviation value, move the compass to a better location (see page 55). 7. Press the disp key to move onto the heading alignment (ALIGN HDG) page.

D3459-2

8. Use -1 and +1 or -10 and +10 to adjust the displayed heading until it matches boats steering compass or a known transit bearing.
Autopilot heading Steering compass

Known heading

D3327-2
9. Press and hold standby for 2 seconds to exit calibration and save the new settings. Note: Setup options are always saved on exit.
Adjusting the heading alignment
You should always check the compass alignment after completing the deviation correction procedure (swinging the compass). After you have completed the initial deviation correction procedure, you can make adjustments to the alignment as often as you wish without swinging the compass again. Although the compass deviation correction procedure removes most of the alignment error, small errors (of the order of a few degrees) will probably remain, that vary depending on the heading. Ideally, you should 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, you should perform the compass deviation correction procedure again, circling slower and in move favorable conditions. 6 Setting-up the ST4000+

Step 6 - Further adjustments
You may need to repeat these steps over a range of sea conditions and different headings to achieve a good overall performance.
Chapter 7: Customizing the ST4000+
The ST4000+ provides calibration options that you can use to adjust the settings for the control unit, the compass and the autopilot system. We calibrate the ST4000+ during manufacture to provide stable performance for most boats so you can perform the initial sea trial. After you have completed the initial installation and sea trial, you should not normally need to alter the Dealer setup values. However, if sailing conditions change you may need to adjust the settings. Note: Complete the procedures described in Chapter 6: Setting-up the ST4000+ before adjusting any calibration settings. The sections in this chapter explain the two setup levels:
User setup This controls compass setup and ST4000+ display features (bar graph type and data page information). Dealer setup This controls the main autopilot settings and also the calibration lock.

This screen allows you to align the autopilot compass with the boats compass: steer your boat onto a known heading adjust the displayed heading using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 keys check the autopilot display on various headings and adjust as necessary (see page 95)

*Note: There are 3 depth pages (meters, feet and fathoms) and 2 water temperature pages (C and F). The ST4000+ will display the water temperature or depth data in the units defined by page you select.

7.2 Dealer setup

Dealer setup allows you to customize the autopilot to your boat. However, the factory default settings will provide safe performance for the initial sea trial, and fine tuning is not normally required. The flowchart on the next page explains how to enter Dealer setup, scroll through the setup displays, adjust the values and quit: you can only access Dealer setup from Standby mode the ST4000+ saves any new settings when you quit Dealer setup

Response level (RESPONSE)
This is the permanent power-on response setting. You can make temporary changes to this response level setting during normal operation (see page 12).

Turn limit (TURN RATE)

This limits your boats rate of turn under autopilot control. The value must be within the range 5 to 40.
Rudder alignment (ALIGN RUD)
Set this option if you have connected a rudder position sensor to your wheel pilot system: 1. Manually center the helm. 2. The rudder bar graph at the bottom of the screen indicates the rudder angle as determined by rudder position sensor: adjust the offset, using the -1 and +1 keys, until the rudder bar graph shows the rudder position as central Note: The offset must be within -7 to +7. If the offset is too great to adjust on screen, you will need to improve the alignment of the rudder position sensor (see page 81) and then repeat steps 1 and 2.
