Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation

1.1 Introduction

SP TRA

CK WV RE S'M

The SmartPilot controller is a SeaTalk compatible autopilot control unit. It is designed as the main controller for the SmartPilot system. The SmartPilot controller 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. Wind Vane: The SmartPilot steers the boat to maintain a course relative to a true or apparent wind angle. The SmartPilot controller also provides: automatic tack (AutoTack) in Auto and Wind Vane modes. waypoint advance feature in Track mode.

SmartPilot Functions

The functions provided with your SmartPilot system depend on whether the SmartPilot computer contains an internal GyroPlus yaw sensor.

Extended systems

You can connect the SmartPilot controller to other Raymarine SeaTalk equipment so it can send and receive SeaTalk data: it can use waypoint information from a SeaTalk navigation instrument to provide track control. it can use boat speed from a SeaTalk speed instrument to optimize track-keeping performance. it can use wind information from a SeaTalk wind instrument for Wind Vane steering. You can also use the SmartPilot with any navigator or wind instrument that transmits National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) 0183 data. The SmartPilot control unit can display SeaTalk and NMEA instrument data in a user-defined selection of data pages. For further information on other connections to your system see SmartPilot

Commissioning Guide.

1.2 Using the control unit

Switching on and off

All the time that power is applied to the SmartPilot controller, you can use the disp button to switch the instrument off and on as follows: To switch the SmartPilot controller off, ensure it is in the Standby mode, then hold down the disp button for approximately 5 seconds. After this time, a switch off count down of 4 seconds occurs. Keep the disp button pressed during this period, to switch off the instrument. To switch the instrument back on, hold down the disp button for approximately 1 second.
81271_1.book Page 3 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 1:57 PM
When the power supply is switched off, the SmartPilot controller buttons have no effect.
Notes: (1) Each time power to the SmartPilot controller is switched on, the control-
disp ler is initially in the on condition. You do not need to use the button to switch the controller on. (2) When the SmartPilot controller is on, the operation of the disp button will perform other operating functions, as described below.

Start-up mode

The SmartPilot always powers up in Standby mode with the display showing the boats current compass heading.
Note: You can press standby at any time to return to manual steering.

Keypad functions

The SmartPilot is controlled using simple push-button and rotary control operations, all of which are confirmed with a short beep. In addition to the main single-button functions, there are several dual-button operations.

3. Press disp or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display. Adjusting performance Non-G systems Non-G SmartPilot systems have three different response levels: Response Level 1: AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband) The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat movements and only react to true variations in course. This provides the best compromise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy. Response Level 2: AutoSeastate off (Minimum deadband) This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to increased power consumption and drive unit activity. Response Level 3: AutoSeastate off + yaw damping This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by introducing counter rudder yaw damping You can adjust the counter rudder setting in Dealer Calibration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide). To make a temporary change to the response setting: 1. Display the RESPONSE screen by pressing the resp button. 2. Press the up arrow or down arrow buttons to change the response between levels 1 to 3. 3. Press disp or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display.
Note: You will lose these temporary changes to response level whenever the system is powered off. You can make permanent adjustments in User Calibration (see page 23).
81271_1.book Page 10 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 1:57 PM

Off Course warning

= deviation to port = deviation to starboard

D4229-3

The SmartPilot warns you when you have been off course from the locked heading for longer than 20 seconds. It shows whether the deviation is to port or starboard.

Note: The default off course angle is set at 20. You can adjust this angle in Dealer Calibration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide).
1. To cancel the off course warning, press standby to return to manual steering. 2. Check whether your boat is carrying too much sail, or whether the sails are badly balanced. You can usually significantly improve course keeping by improving the sail balance.
Note: The SmartPilot also clears the warning if the heading recovers or if you change

course.

1.5 Can I adjust the display lighting & contrast?
How do I adjust the lights?
You can adjust the display and keypad lighting by: 1. Pressing disp for 1 second from any mode to access the LAMP screen and turn on the lights. 2.

Note: If you do not press track to accept the Waypoint Advance, the SmartPilot will
maintain the current heading and continue sounding the warning.
How do I skip a waypoint? (SeaTalk chartplotters)
If you want to advance to the next waypoint before you have arrived at the target waypoint, you can skip a waypoint by pressing track for 1 second. The display will then show the Waypoint Advance screen for the next waypoint. Check it is safe to turn, then press track to turn the boat towards the next waypoint.
81271_1.book Page 17 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 1:57 PM
WARNING: Ensure navigation safety Skipping a waypoint will take you straight to the next waypoint. Check your navigation before making the turn.
What is the Waypoint Advance warning?
The SmartPilot activates the Waypoint Advance warning (NEXT WPT?) in Track mode whenever the target waypoint name changes. This occurs when: you select automatic acquisition by pressing track from Auto you request waypoint advance by pressing track for 1 second in Track mode (with SeaTalk navigators only) the boat arrives at the target and the navigator accepts the next waypoint you activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function (see page 22) When the warning sounds, the SmartPilot continues on its current heading but displays: the bearing to the next waypoint the direction the boat will turn to take up that bearing How do I respond to a Waypoint Advance warning? To respond to a Waypoint Advance warning: check that it is safe to turn onto the new track, then press track to accept the waypoint advance alternatively, you can cancel the warning without accepting the waypoint advance by pressing: auto to continue on the same heading, or standby to return to manual control
What happens when I get to the end of the route?
The SmartPilot displays the ROUTE COMPLETED warning when you have reached the last waypoint on a route in Track mode. press auto to continue on the same heading. or press standby to return to manual control.

2.2 Using Wind Vane mode sail boats
Note: You can only select Wind Vane mode if the SmartPilot is receiving suitable SeaTalk or NMEA wind direction information.

What is Wind Vane mode?

When the SmartPilot is in Wind Vane mode it uses the fluxgate compass as the primary heading reference. As changes in the true or apparent wind angle occur, it adjusts the locked heading to maintain the original wind angle.

Wind information

To use Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot must receive wind information from one of the following sources: SeaTalk wind instrument connected to the autopilot via SeaTalk NMEA wind instrument Raymarine pushpit wind vane connected via a SeaTalk interface

True and apparent wind

SmartPilots can maintain a course relative to either an apparent or true wind angle in Wind Vane mode The default setting is apparent wind. If required, you can change this to true wind in User Calibration (see page 23).

WindTrim

In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot uses WindTrim to eliminate the effects of turbulence and short term wind variations. This provides smooth and precise performance with minimal power consumption. You can adjust the wind response (WindTrim) level in User Calibration (see page 23) to control how quickly the SmartPilot responds to changes in the wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind changes.
How do I select Wind Vane mode?
You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or Auto mode: 1. Steady the boat onto the required wind angle. 2. Press standby and auto together to select Wind Vane mode and lock the current wind angle: the display shows the locked heading (e.g. 128) and the wind angle (e.g. WIND 145P indicates an wind angle of 145 to port)
81271_1.book Page 19 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 1:57 PM
if the SmartPilot does not enter Wind Vane mode, it is not receiving wind data - check the instrument and connections

D3565-6

3. In Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot will then adjust the boats heading to maintain the locked wind angle.
How do I leave Wind Vane mode?
You can leave Wind Vane mode by: pressing auto to return to Auto mode. pressing standby to return to manual control.
How do I adjust the locked wind angle
You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the rotary control to change course. For example, to bear away when the boat is on a starboard tack: turn the rotary control anti-clockwise the locked wind angle and locked heading will both change. the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain the new wind angle.

WindTrim (SAILBOAT only)

WindTrim controls how quickly the SmartPilot responds to changes in the wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a system that is more responsive to wind changes.
Screen Text WIND TRIM Options Range = 1 to to 3 - Least responsive to wind changes (less system activity) 4 to 6 - Moderate response to wind changes 7 to 9 - Most responsive to wind changes (more system activity)

Response level

This sets the default SmartPilot response level setting. The response level controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes to response during normal operation, as described in Chapter 1, SmartPilot Operation.
81271_1.book Page 24 Wednesday, November 9, 2005 1:57 PM
24 S1G, S2G and S3G systems

Screen Text

Options Range = 1 to 9 levels 9 to 7 gives the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and power consumption). This can lead to a rough passage in open waters as the SmartPilot may fight the sea. levels 6 to 4 should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled turns under normal operating conditions. levels 3 to 1 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This conserves power, but may compromise short-term coursekeeping accuracy.

RESPONSE

Non-G SmartPilot systems
Screen Text Options AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband). The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat movements and only react to true variations in course. This provides the best compromise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy. AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband). This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to increased power consumption and drive unit activity. AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping. This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by introducing counter rudder yaw damping.

Glossary

Term AST Meaning Advanced Steering Technology (AST) is Raymarines unique advanced steering algorithm. It uses inputs from a wide variety of sensors to tune the autopilots operation to provide superior control of the boat in any condition. Self-learning calibration feature available on S1G, S2G and S3G autopilot systems. The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the autopilot applies standing helm to correct for trim changes caused by varying wind loads on the sails or superstructure. American Wire Gauge. Marked on Raymarine products that comply with defined European Community standards. 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 rudder being applied. Constant Running hydraulic pump. Direct current. When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, and this can degrade their performance. By following the EMC guidelines in this handbook, you can minimize these effects by ensuring optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) between equipment. Standard Raymarine compass supplied with course computer core pack. Global Positioning System. Raymarines GyroPlus yaw sensor that measures the boats rate of turn. It is built into the S1G, S2G and S3G course computers. Inboard/Outboard or stern drive. Man overboard. Nautical mile.

Meaning

Term NMEA
The NMEA (National Maritime Electronics Association) protocol is an internationally accepted serial communication interface standard for sharing data between electronic equipment. Raymarine products can share information with non-SeaTalk equipment using the NMEA 0183 protocol. The autopilot response level controls the relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. 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 is Raymarines proprietary communication system. It links the products to provide a single, integrated system sharing power and data. This refers to the continuous SeaTalk system connecting together a series of Raymarine units. Statute (land) mile. Very High Frequency (radio). WindTrim (wind response) controls how quickly the autopilot responds to changes in the wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind changes. Cross track error. The boats rate of turn (/sec).
