please take time to read this guide In particular please take note of the safety and compatibility EMC information at theend 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 andor poor product performanceThe installation procedures are described in a rational sequence but because of variations inboat design space available etc you may need to adapt the sequence to suit your 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 noteThe S1000 Autopilot must receive position information from a suitable GPS inorder to function correctly GPS systems compatible with SeaTalk or NMEA orboth are suitable If you need advice as to which GPS to use please contactyour Raymarine

5PlanningIn order to make the installation as trouble free as possible we strongly recommend youspend adequate time planning the best locations for your autopilot components This isparticularly important when considering the position of the autopilot pump as hydraulichoses are supplied in fixed lengths so there are some limitations on the positioning of theautopilot pump with respect to the boats helm pumpIf you have internet access please view the installation video on line at you disturb your hydraulic steering system we strongly recommend that you consultthe manufacturer and read the

your S1000 Autopilot use the to First carry out the Manual checks below to check the the steering operation and check the system for leaks then Carry out the Autopilot checks setup procedures below to check the autopilot operates the steering in the correct direction and to set up the autopilot checksWith autopilot power off turn the wheel from hard over port to hard over starboard If thesteering operates satisfactorily and turns in the correct direction proceed with the other checksIf the steering feels uneven andor less responsive than it was before you installed your S1000Autopilot you may need to bleed the entire steering system To do this use the purgeprocedure at the following web Check for leaks sheet 1 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 further to port 2 With 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 steps 1 2 Continue on sheet 2 D75021S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide 29 Check for leaks sheet 2 3 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 further to starboard 4 With 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 steps 3 4 5 After 24 hours recheck the steering system to ensure there are still no hydraulic fluid leaks checks setup WARNING Before switching on power to the course computer make sure that personnel are clear of the steering gear and outboard motors and that the boat is securely moored1 Switch on power to the S1000 system2 Carry out the Checking direction of turn procedure below Checking direction of turn sheet 1 Before casting off check that the S1000 operates the boats steering system in the correct direction 1 At the S100 Remote hold down STANDBY for 2 SETUP seconds to enter Setup mode Continue on sheet 2 D7704130 S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide Checking direction of turn sheet 2 2 Hold down and in turn and as each of these is pressed ensure that the outboard motors turns to give the correct direction of steer 3 If the outboard motors doesdo not move correctly DO NOT USE THE BOAT At the S100 Remote hold down STANDBY for 2 seconds to leave Setup mode and return to Standby mode then check that the S1000 components have been installed correctly In particular check that the autopilot

WARNING Product installation operation This 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 andor poor product performance WARNING Electrical safety Make sure you have switched off the power supply before you start installing this the best of our knowledge the information in this guide was correct when it went to press However accept liability for any inaccuracies or omissions it may containIn addition our policy of continuous product improvement may change specifications without notice cannot accept liability for any differences between the product and this guideEMC Installation GuidelinesAll Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Compatibility EMC standards butcorrect installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised Although every effort has been takento ensure that they will perform under all conditions it is important to understand what factors could affect theoperation of the productThe guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance but it is recognized that it may notbe possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations To ensure the best possible conditions for EMCperformance within the constraints imposed by any location always ensure the maximum separation different items of electrical equipmentFor 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 eg 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 positionS1000 Autopilot Installation Guide 33Suppression FerritesThe following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment Always use theferrites supplied by Raymarine to Other EquipmentIf your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine asuppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit 34 S1000 Autopilot Installation GuideRaymarine UK Ltd Raymarine IncQuay Point 21 Manchester Road New Hampshire PO6 3TD
