5 Commissioning the Tiller Pilot
Before starting the sea trial
Before carrying out the sea trial, you should:
• check the calibration settings and, if necessary, reset them to the
default values (see page 63)
• check the installation to make sure that it is not affected by radio
transmissions, engine starting, etc.
Calibrating the compass
Automatic compass deviation correction
By completing the following compass correction procedure, the tiller
pilot can correct its own internal fluxgate compass for most deviating
magnetic fields. You should complete the Compass Deviation
Correction at the beginning of your sea trial.
To complete the compass correction:
1. Extend or retract the pushrod so you can place the pushrod end
onto the tiller pin.
2. Press and hold
standby for 1 second – a series of dashes will
cycle around the display.
3. Keeping boat speed below 2 knots, use the -10 and +10 keys to
turn the boat in slow circles. You should take at least 3 minutes to
complete each 360°.
