Installation Procedures

1.1 Introduction
The Volvo Penta IPS Autopilot System consists of an IPS S3G Course Computer corepack and an IPS DPU. The IPS S3G corepack contains a Course Computer and a fluxgate compass. There is no need to fit a drive unit or rudder feedback unit. This system can only be used with a Volvo Penta IPS system. The IPS Autopilot system is compatible with ST6001, ST7001 and ST8001range of autopilot control units. Raymarine wireless controllers, the S100 or SmartController can be fitted as optional extras. This handbook will guide you through the installation of your IPS DPU and the connections that you will need to make to the other parts of the IPS system.

1.7 Running SeaTalk & NMEA2000 cables

Cable routing practices

When running cable, always observe the following guidelines: If a cable has to be fed through the deck, always use a good quality deck gland. Where cables are fed through holes, always use grommets to prevent chafing. Secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard. Wherever possible, route cables away from fluorescent lights, engines and radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interference.

Identifying cables

SeaTalk, SeaTALK2 and NMEA 2000 buses are used in this system. SeaTalk uses a 3-core cable and SeaTALK2 and NMEA 2000 uses a 5-core, screened cable. Each cable type is available in both made-up form with pre-fitted connectors, and in unterminated form on a drum.

CAUTION: Incorrectly connected power supplies could cause damage to the system Power will be supplied using the SeaTalk connection from the S3G course computer. DO NOT CONNECT ANY OTHER POWER SOURCE TO THE DPU.

1.9 Cable preparation

In an IPS system, cables not already fitted with moulded connectors must be correctly prepared for connection. The DPU uses color-coded, spring retention connectors. To make a secure connection to a spring retention connector, prepare the cable for connection, then use the method illustrated below to connect each wire.

Using one of the SHORT SeaTalk2 cables, connect the NMEA 2000 terminal on the DPU to the FOURTH terminal of the 5-way SeaTalk2 connector block.
Securing cables and replacing cover
When all of the DPU cables have all been connected, secure each cable to the loops on the DPU, using the cable ties provided. When all cables are secure, replace the DPU cover. Do not use the DPU with the cover removed, as this could degrade the EMC performance.
1.11 Additional connections
Three more connections now need to be made to the 5-way connector block.

SeaTalk2 terminator

Plug the SeaTalk2 terminator into the CENTER terminal on the 5-way SeaTalk2 connector block.

Grounding the system

In order to meet the system EMC specification, the SeaTALK2 cable screen must be connected to the vessels RF ground point.
Using the grounding cable
Raymarine provide a made-up, RF grounding cable that you are recommended to use, to ground the system.

13 The grounding cable is yellow and has a SeaTalk2 connector at one end. Connect this to the FIRST terminal of the 5-way SeaTalk2 connector block. The unterminated end of the cable is stripped, for connection to the vessels RF ground point. If you require additional advice on grounding the IPS DPU, please contact the Raymarine Technical Support Department.
1.12 Connecting to the Volvo Penta system

Volvo Penta Gateway

CAUTION: Consult your Volvo Penta dealer before making any changes to your existing system.
Note: To connect to the Volvo Penta system you will need to obtain an Autopilot Interface kit from Volvo Penta. Part Number 3819744, comprising of a Gateway, Y-split, Assembly instruction and two tie-wraps.
Plug the LONG SeaTalk2 cable into the FIFTH terminal of the 5-way SeaTalk2 connector block. Thread the cable into the junction box and connect to the chocblock. Then, thread the bare end of the Volvo Penta interface cable into the junction box and connect to the chocblock. Ensure that the cable colors match. Connect the other end of the Volvo Penta Interface Cable (circular connector) to the connector on the Volvo Penta Gateway.

1.14 Post-installation Checks
Before you proceed to the commissiong stage, it is important to verify your installation. Please follow these simple procedures before commissioning: 1. Power up the IPS autopilot system and start the Volvo Penta IPS engines Move the helm by hand and observe the ships rudder guage and the rudder bar on the control unit. These displays should be synchronised. In they are not: i. Check that the Volvo Penta autopilot interface is connected correctly. You will need to consult your Volvo Penta service agent. ii. Check the choc-block connections in the junction box match color for color iii. Check the NMEA OUT connections at the DPU and that they are seated properly in the connector. iv. Check the NMEA IN connections at the S3G and that they are seated properly in the connector. 2. Drive the boat at a slow speed (approxmately 5 knots) and press AUTO on the control unit. Your boat should continue on its current heading. If the control unit reads NO IPS then repeat the wiring checks in step 1. 3. Use either the +10 or -10 keys or the rotary control to make a course change. Your boat should alter course as directed. If the autopilot does not respond, then repeat the wiring checks in step 1. 4. The autopilot is now ready for the commissioning process. Please refer to the commissiong section of the SmartPilot Commissioning Guide.

CHOOSING A PILOT

Smartpilot X-30

Cockpit pilots

Cockpit pilots are easy-to-install autopilot systems that mount directly to your boat's helm, wheel or tiller. Raymarine offers several different cockpit pilot options engineered for vessels up to 30 feet in length.

below deck pilots

Typically recommended for boats larger than 30 feet, below deck autopilots generally consist of three main components: the drive unit, the corepack, and a control head. Raymarine SmartPilot systems accommodate a wide range of steering systems including hydraulic, mechanical, and power assisted stern drive steering systems. Step One: Choose a Control Head The control head is your interface to the autopilot system. Add additional control heads wherever you need to interact with the autopilot system. Step Two: Select a Drive Unit Under the control of the course computer Raymarine autopilot drive units interface with your vessels steering system for reliable and straight course keeping. A broad range of drive units are available to match almost any type of steering system. Step Three: Select a Corepack The brain of the autopilot system, SmartPilot X-Series corepacks consist of a course computer and fluxgate compass.

CONTROL HEADS

Selecting an Autopilot Control Head
Raymarine control heads offer the same level of autopilot performance but vary in size and feature-sets. To take full advantage of the SmartPilot X-Series Autopilot capabilities and performance, choose the ST70 Series Autopilot Control Heads.

HYDRAULIC DRIVES

Selecting a Drive: Hydraulic Steering Systems
Raymarine SmartPilots connect to hydraulic steering systems using a rugged hydraulic pump matched to the capacity of the vessels hydraulic steering system. To properly match a Raymarine hydraulic pump to a specific vessel and steering system, the actual size (in cubic inches) of the hydraulic cylinder ram (or rams) needs to be determined. Your steering system documentation will have this information. Alternatively, you can look on the actual cylinder ram itself for the brand and model number. Once you have learned the model number of your cylinder ram(s), visit our website www.raymarine.com to access our hydraulic cylinder ram cross-reference guide to learn which Raymarine hydraulic autopilot pump type is compatible with your hydraulic steering system. Raymarine autopilot hydraulic pumps are available in several sizes to accommodate a broad range of hydraulic steering cylinder capacities. The table below illustrates the capacity of each type of Raymarine hydraulic autopilot pump when used with the corresponding SmartPilot corepack.

MECHANICAL
Selecting a Drive: Mechanical Steering Systems
When selecting an autopilot drive unit for a mechanical steering system, the vessel displacement is the determining factor for selecting the properly sized drive. When determining your vessel displacement always add 20% to the dry weight of your vessel to account for the added weight of fuel, gear, provisions and people. Next select the type of autopilot drive that is right for your mechanical steering system. Raymarine SmartPilot drive units for mechanical steering systems are available in linear, hydraulic linear, sterndrive and rotary drive configurations. Below are images of each type of mechanical steering drive.
