PART 3 - COMMISSIONING AND CALIBRATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION TO AUTOPILOT COMMISSIONING
3.1.1 h2000 Autopilot Commissioning
Before the h2000 Autopilot can be used, it is necessary to carry
out commissioning tests. This encompasses the setting and
calibration of various parameters, installation and functional
checks of the autopilot System equipment. These items are listed
below in Paragraph 3.1.2.
The procedure for commissioning can be divided into two stages.
The first stage is carried out alongside at the dock and the second
stage is performed during the course of a sea trial. The order in
which the commissioning procedures are carried out is not the
order in which they appear when the keys are pressed. Press the
function key until the required parameter is displayed.
This manual covers both the ACP 1 (25A) and ACP 2 (40A)
Autopilot Systems.
3.1.2 Autopilot Installation Check List
The checklist below should be used before the commissioning of
the autopilot to ensure that the entire system is functional before
applying power.
Drive Unit and Steering System
(1) Drive unit securely fixed to a rigid part of the boat
structure.
(2) Correct gauge of power cable has been selected.
Hydraulic Rams
(1) Boat end stops must limit the rudder movement,
not the stroke of the hydraulic ram.
(2) Split pins and spacers that secure the ram to its
mounting foot are secure.
(3) Absence of oil leaks.
(4) Correct diameter bolt in universal ball joint,
correct size hole in tiller.
