6 ST6002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide
Can I dodge an obstacle and then resume course?
To avoid an obstacle when your boat is under autopilot control, you can dodge the
obstacle and then resume your previous course.
1. Select a course change in the appropriate direction. For example, press -10
three times for a 30°dodge to port.
2. When safely clear of the obstacle, reverse the previous course change (for
example, press +10 three times).
1.4 How do I adjust the performance of my
SmartPilot?
The principal method of adjusting the performance of SmartPilot systems is by
changing the response level. This is the only user adjustment you should need to
make to your SmartPilot on a regular basis.
The response level controls the relationship between the SmartPilot’s course
keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. When you turn on your
SmartPilot it will always be at the default level. (This level can be adjusted in User
Calibration
see page 24)
When you require extra tight course keeping (e.g. for pilotage in confined and
sheltered waters), increase the setting. If you want to minimize drive activity and
conserve battery power, decrease the setting.
You can make temporary adjustments to the response level when using your
SmartPilot on a day-to-day basis. By doing this you can match performance to
conditions as they occur.
