2 S1000 Autopilot Installation GuideThis guideBefore starting to install your S1000 Autopilot, please take time to read this guide. In particu-lar, please take note of the safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information at the end of this guide.WARNING:  This product must be installed and operated in accordance with the Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to observe this could result in personal injury, damage to the boat and/or poor product performance.The installation procedures are described in a rational sequence, but because of variations in boat design, space available etc, you may need to adapt the sequence to suit your particular circumstances.Before you start fitting your S1000 Autopilot, we recommend you:•Unpack your S1000 Autopilot and check that all parts are present.•Plan your S1000 Autopilot installation so that you fit the components in the best possible locations.Important noteThe S1000 Autopilot must receive position information from a suitable GPS in order to function correctly. GPS systems compatible with SeaTalk or NMEA or both, are suitable. If you need advice as to which GPS to use, please contact your Raymarine dealer.87040_1.book Page 2 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM

S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide 5PlanningIn order to make the installation as trouble free as possible, we strongly recommend you spend adequate time planning the best locations for your autopilot components. This is particularly important when considering the position of the autopilot pump, as hydraulic hoses are supplied in fixed lengths, so there are some limitations on the positioning of the autopilot pump with respect to the boat’s helm pump.If you have internet access, please view the installation video on line at www.raymarine.com.Before you disturb your hydraulic steering system, we strongly recommend that you consult the manufacturer and read the steering system manuals.5˚ 5˚D7552-15˚ 5˚ 5˚ 5˚ 5˚ 5˚At least 3 ft (1 meter)Locating the course computer87040_1.book Page 5 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM

You only need you to apply sealant to any extra joints you may obtain. The recommended sealant for doing this, is Loctite 542.Do not use sealing tape on any part of a hydraulic system, as this can disintegrate and the resulting particles can cause blockages in the hydraulic system.CAUTION:D7545-12.3.1.5 turnsD7546-1From hand tight, use a wrench to tighten the joint a further 1.5 turns. This should make it leakproof. To change the orientation of the joint to align it with the hose, further tighten the joint, to a maximum of one further turn, until the joint is facing the required direction.1.Hand tighten CAUTION:Do not exceed 13 ft/lbs (17.6 Nm) torque.CAUTION:Do not exceed 13 ft/lbs (17.6 Nm) torque.

28 S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide7. Post installationWhen you have completed the installation of your S1000 Autopilot, use the following procedures to:•Check the steering operation.•Check the system for leaks.•Switch on the autopilot, then use the commissioning procedure, to correctly set up the autopilot.Steering operationTurn the wheel from hard over port, to hard over starboard. If the steering operates satisfactorily, proceed with the other post installation checks.If the steering feels uneven and/or less responsive than it was before you installed your S1000 Autopilot, you may need to bleed the entire steering system. To do this, use the purge procedure at the following web address:http://www.seastarsteering.com/OUTBOARD/oboard.htm?../FILL_PURGE/FillPurge.htm&1Checking for leaksChecking for leaks (sheet 1)Ensure all hydraulic joints are secure, then turn the wheel to port. When the hard over point is reached, continue turning to port to pressurize the port lines, until the safety valve releases. At this point, the fluid in the port lines will be at maximum pressure and the wheel has a 'lumpy' feel when turned to port.1.D7502-1With the port lines at maximum pressure, check the port lines for leaks, paying  particular attention to the joints.If a leak occurs, turn the wheel to starboard to release the pressure, then repair the leak and repeat step 1.2.87040_1.book Page 28 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM

Carry out the commissioning procedure.Checking for leaks (sheet 2)After 24 hours, re-check the steering system to ensure there are still no hydraulic fluid leaks.5.D7550-1With the starboard lines at maximum pressure, check the starboard lines for leaks, paying particular attention to the joints.If a leak occurs, turn the wheel to port to release the pressure, then repair the leak and repeat step 3.4.Turn the wheel to starboard, and when the hard over point is reached, continue turning to starboard to pressurize the starboard lines, until the safety valve releases. At this point, the fluid in the starboard line will be at maximum pressure and the wheel has a 'lumpy' feel when turned to starboard.3.87040_1.book Page 29 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM

34 S1000 Autopilot Installation GuideSafety noticesWARNING:   Product installation & operationThis equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, damage to your boat and/or poor product performance. WARNING:   Electrical safetyMake sure you have switched off the power supply before you start installing this product. InformationTo the best of our knowledge, the information in this guide was correct when it went to press. However, Raymarine cannot accept liability for any inaccuracies or omissions it may contain. In addition, our policy of continuous product improvement may change specifications without notice. Therefore, Raymarine cannot accept liability for any differences between the product and this guide. EMC Installation GuidelinesAll Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product.The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment.For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:•Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:•At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).•More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.•The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power supply to our products, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode.•Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.•If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.87040_1.book Page 34 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM
S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide 35Suppression FerritesThe following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.Connections to Other EquipmentIf your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.D3548-687040_1.book Page 35 Wednesday, December 22, 2004 12:32 PM
