Chapter 6: Post Installation Procedures
This chapter applies to systems where the ST7000 Plus has been
installed as the only control unit for a Type 100/300 Course Computer.
Once you have installed the system, you need to confirm that it is wired
correctly and is also set up to suit your type of boat.
This chapter provides instructions for the following procedures:
• Functional test, consisting of a few simple tests to confirm that the
system is wired correctly.
• Initial sea trial, to swing the compass and align the heading, check
the autopilot’s operation and check the rudder gain.
Further customisation can be performed after the sea trial, as described
in Chapter 4.
6.1 Functional Test and Initial Calibration
Switch On
Having installed your ST7000 Plus system, switch on the main power
breaker. If the instrument is active and the system operating, the
following will occur:
• The instrument beeps and displays ST7000+.
• If either the Pilot Type has not been set, or compass linearisation or
compass alignment have not been carried out, then the display will
flash between
CALIBRATE and REQUIRED, for approximately
4 seconds, after which time the STANDBY screen is displayed.
• In all other cases, the STANDBY screen is displayed 2 seconds after
the ST7000+ screen.
This shows that the instrument is active.
• If the instrument does not beep or the display is blank, check the
fuse/circuit breaker.
• If the SEATALK FAILURE or NO LINK alarm is displayed, check the
SeaTalk connections.
Initial Calibration
Set up the correct Pilot Type as described in Chapter 4.
