Before proceeding with the installation you should have the following to hand All necessary equipment and tools to install your SPX5 Wheel system The correct type and length of power cable Schematic diagram detailing autopilot system location and connections You should also check that existing marine electronics such as the GPS are installed and working21 Installation precautions WARNING Install at dockside For safety reasons your boat must be at dockside before commencing installation CAUTION Switch off power supply Switch off the power supply before you start installing this product EMC installation guidelines Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Compatibility EMC regulations This minimizes interference between equipment which could otherwise affect the performance of your system Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised For optimum EMC performance we recommend that Raymarine equipment and the cables connected to it are i At least 3 ft 1 m from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio sig nals eg VHF radios cables and antennas In the case of SSB radios the dis tance should be increased to 7 ft 2 m ii 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 product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separate battery Raymarine specified cables are used Cables are not cut or extended unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual Remember Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above Always allow the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment This will provide the best conditions for EMC performance for the installation8 SmartPilot X5 Wheel Installation Setup Guide Suppression ferrites Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites These are important for correct EMC performance Any ferrite removed to facilitate installation must be replaced in the original position immediately after the installation is complete Use only ferrites of the correct type supplied by Raymarine authorized dealers Connections to other equipment If Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine a Raymarine suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit Compass The compass is sensitive to magnetic influences and other potential sources of interference including engines and VHF radio waves To ensure optimum operation it is essential to locate the compass correctly22 General cabling guidelines Do not mix ac and dc cables Adhere to EMC guidelines see page 7 Use Copex conduit where appropriate to protect cables Label all cables for easy identification Keep the Fluxgate compass

remove the cover hold the motor in one hand and use your other hand to pull the cover up and away from the drive unit as shown below D106311 2 Identify the appropriate spoke clamp holes for your wheel With the arrow at the top refer to the following diagrams The holes are numbered inside the cover eg if you have a 5 spoke wheel you need to drill the locations marked with 5 Mark the appropriate spoke clamp holes and check them by holding the cover against your wheel 5 spokes Top 2 spoke clamp holes 7 spokes are predrilled D106321Chapter 2 Installing the system 13 3 or 6 spokes Top 2 spoke clamp holes 4 or 8 spokes are predrilled D106331 Note The wheel drive is designed to work with 3 spoke clamps on 4 and 8 spoke wheels How ever you may want to fit an extra spoke clamp to the fourth spoke to give a symmetrical look to the installation Raymarine dealers can supply an extra spoke clamp part number A18089 3 Drill the appropriate spoke clamp holes using the larger of the supplied drill bits 60 mm or 14 in drill from the inside placing a piece of scrap wood under the cover to produce a clean exit hole you will need to drill 4 new holes so the cover has 6 holes in total 2 for each spoke clamp Note The spoke clamps will cover these exit holes so they will not be visible when the wheel drive is installed Piece of scrap wood D106341 4 Align the cover with the wheel drive The two predrilled holes marked with an arrow must line up with their matching pair of threaded inserts on the drive ring also marked with an arrow Make sure that the other spoke clamp holes align with their threaded inserts14 SmartPilot X5 Wheel Installation Setup Guide Note The cover will only fit back onto the wheel drive when the two parts are correctly aligned Predrilled holes Pair of threaded inserts marked with arrow marked with arrow Drive ring D106351 Front cover Drive unit 5 Fit the cover back onto the wheel drive by pressing the cover in the three places shown on the diagram below to push each post back into its locating socket Note This step is easier with the clutch engaged TOP D106361 Step 2 Secure the wheel drive to the wheel 1 Remove the wheel from the pedestal and place it on top of the drive unit with the front of the wheel and drive both facing up 2 Using the wheel drive template at the end of this book select the correct set of spoke clamp inserts for your wheel Measure the spoke diameter at a distance of about 135 mm 53 in from the center of the wheel Select the appropriate set of inserts the wheel drive is supplied with 2 sets of 3 inserts suitable for 12 mm 12 in and 16 mm 58 in diameter spokes each insert is marked with its sizeChapter 2 Installing the system 15 3 Fit the first spoke clamp as follows Lubricate the spoke with washingup liquid so you can slide the spoke clamp along the spoke to adjust its position Place the insert on the spoke about 135 mm 53 in from the wheel center this distance is not critical as the wheel drive will selfcenter as you fit all 3 spoke clamps Place the spoke clamp onto the insert making sure that you have correctly located the clamp insert in the clamp Locate 2 of the clamp screws M5 x 16 mm allenhead screws Lightly tighten the screws using the 3 mm allen key Hex key supplied in 53 mm 135 D106371 4 Repeat step 3 to fit the other 2 spoke clamps As you fit each one adjust the position of the wheel relative to the wheel drive so the holes in the clamp line up with the holes in the cover As you do this the wheel drive will selfcenter on the wheel 5 After fitting all 3 spoke clamps fully tighten the screws Step 3 Attach the pedestal bracket Note If your wheel is bulkhead or box pedestal mounted you will need to obtain a bulkhead fit ting kit part number E15017 from your Raymarine dealer Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit Motor tube location You can mount the wheel drive in either one of two ways to give the most effective operation with your particular pedestal design and any adjacent obstructions Slot 1 installation the standard position uses slot 1 on the back of the wheel drive the slot closest to the motor tube so the motor tube is at the bottom to the right of the pedestal Slot 2 installation the alternative installation uses slot 2 to position the motor tube at the top to the left of the pedestal Select the appropriate slot so the motor tube is clear of obstructions16 SmartPilot X5 Wheel Installation Setup Guide CAUTION Pedestal mounted compass If you use slot 2 and you have a compass the drive motor may affect compass readings Slot 1 installation

remove the old pedestal bracket cut the new bracket pin to the correct length see steps 2 and 3 below then secure it in the standard orientation using the existing pedestal holes 1 Fit the wheel onto the pedestal tighten the wheel nut to hold the wheel in place and engage the wheel drives clutch Either lock the wheel in position with the appropriate slot centered at the bottom of the wheel or have an assistant hold the wheel in position so you can locate the bracket correctly 2 Measure dimension A the distance between the front of the pedestal and the rear edge of the drives front cover see diagram Note You may find it easiest to hold the bracket below the wheel drive and mark dimension A directly on the pinChapter 2 Installing the system 17 Cut here A 10 mm D106391 A Note If the wheel is bent or not running true dimension A will change with the wheel position Measure the smallest distance 3 Use a hacksaw to cut the pin 10 mm 04 in LONGER than dimension A Remove any sharp edges at the cut end with sandpaper or a file 4 Place the pin end in slot 1 or 2 as required To do this you may need to loosen the wheel nut so you can slide the wheel forward slightly place the pin end in the slot then return the wheel to its normal position and retighten the wheel nut Note You can install the pedestal bracket either way up In the standard orientation the pin is at the bottom below the mounting holes see diagram If obstructions on the pedestal prevent you from using the standard orientation you can install the bracket so the pin is at the top above the mounting holes Standard Alternative also for retrofit D106401 5 Making sure the slot is central at the bottom of the drive unit 6 oclock position and the pin is in the middle of the slot carefully draw around the bracket18 SmartPilot X5 Wheel Installation Setup Guide D106411 6 Remove the wheel then hold the bracket on the pedestal in the location you have marked 7 Check the position and alignment of the pedestal bracket the bracket pin should be aligned so it is directly below the pedestal spindle 154 mm 61 in D106421 8 When the pedestal bracket is correctly positioned and aligned mark around the inside of the slots then remove the bracket 9 Use a centerpunch to mark the center of each slot then use the smaller supplied drill bit to drill a 40 mm 532 in diameter hole Note Drill at right angles to the pedestal surfaceChapter 2 Installing the system 19 D106431 10 Hold the bracket in place then lightly tighten the four crosshead screws No 10 x 34 in As you do this make sure the bracket is correctly aligned 11 Replace the wheel making sure that you locate the pin in the correct slot slot 1 or slot 2 12 Turn the wheel with the clutch off to check that the bracket is correctly positioned and aligned Note If the wheel is bent or the wheel drive is off center the pin will move up and down in the back plate slot As long as the pin does not hit the top or bottom of the slot this pin movement will not affect the drive units performance 13 When you have checked alignment fully tighten all four screws Wheel Drive electrical connection The drive unit is supplied with 45 m 15 ft of 2core cable with a

SPX5 Wheel system is now commissioned and ready for use After having used your SPX5 Wheel system you may decide to change the value of some parameters to improve pilot performance with your boat If you feel this is necessary use the appropriate procedures under Manual setup belowChapter 3 Commissioning setup 4132 Manual setup Checking SPX5 Wheel system operation Before manually adjusting any settings familiarize yourself with basic SPX5 Wheel system operation as follows 1 Steer onto a compass heading and hold the course steady at a normal cruising speed If necessary steer the boat manually for a short time to check how the boat steers 2 Press auto to lock onto the current heading The SPX5 Wheel system should hold the locked heading in calm sea conditions 3 Use 1 1 10 and 10 and observe how the SPX5 Wheel system alters the course to port and starboard 4 Press standby to return to manual steering If you feel you need to fine tune the SPX5 Wheel system performance you can do so by using one or more of the procedures below to adjust Response level Rudder gain Counter rudder AutoTrim Over time you may wish to repeat these adjustments using a range of sea conditions and headings to achieve optimum allround performance for your particular vessel and preferences Adjust these settings when motoring your boat at cruising speed Response level The principal method of adjusting the performance of an SPX5 Wheel system is by changing the response level This controls the relationship between the SPX5 Wheel systems course keeping accuracy and the amount of helmdrive activity Screen Text Effect on operation RESPONSE 13 This setting minimizes the amount of rudder activity but may compro mise shortterm course keeping accuracy RESPONSE 46 This setting gives good course keeping with crisp well controlled turns under normal operating conditions RESPONSE 79 This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping and greatest rudder activity This can lead to a rough passage in open waters as the SPX5 Wheel system may fight the sea To temporarily change the response level 1 Press 1 and 1 or resp to access the RESPONSE screen 2 Use 1 or 1 to adjust the setting 3 Press disp to confirm the change42 SmartPilot X5 Wheel Installation Setup Guide Rudder gain Boats can vary widely in their response to helm and by adjusting the rudder gain you can change the SPX5 Wheel systems steering Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the SPX5 Wheel system applies to correct course errors higher settings mean more rudder is applied Checking Complete the following test to determine whether the rudder gain is set correctly 1 Set RESPONSE to level 5 see above 2 Motor your boat at a typical cruising speed in clear water It is easier to recognize the steering response in calm sea conditions where wave action does not mask steering performance 3 Press auto to enter Auto mode then alter course by 40 If the rudder gain is adjusted correctly the 40 course change should result in a crisp turn followed by an overshoot of no more than 5 If the rudder gain setting is too high the 40 course change will result in a distinct overshoot of more than 5 and there may be a distinct S in the course as at A below Correct this oversteer by reducing the rudder gain setting If the rudder gain is too low the boats performance will be sluggish it will take a long time to make the 40 turn and there will be no overshoot B below Correct this understeer by increasing the rudder gain setting New heading B New heading Rudder gain A too low New Rudder gain heading too high Correct rudder gain D32623 Adjusting To adjust the rudder gain 1 Access the RUDD GAIN screen in Dealer calibration see page 53 2 Use 1 or 1 to adjust the rudder gain 3 Hold down standby for 2 seconds to save the changes 4 Press auto to check the SPX5 Wheel system performance in Auto modeChapter 3 Commissioning setup 43 Counter rudder Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the SPX5 Wheel system applies to try to prevent the boat from yawing off course Higher counter rudder settings result in more rudder being applied Checking To check the counter rudder setting 1 Set RESPONSE to level 5 see page 41 2 Motor your boat at cruising speed in clear water 3 Press auto to switch the SPX5 Wheel system to Auto mode then make a 90 course change When gain and counter rudder are both set correctly the boat performs a smooth continuous turn with minimal overshoot If the counter rudder is too low the boat will still overshoot If counter rudder is too high the boat will fight the turn and make a series of short sharp turns this results in a very mechanical feel as the boat changes course Adjusting To adjust the counter rudder 1 Access the COUNT RUD screen in Dealer calibration see page 53 2 Use 1 or 1 to adjust the counter rudder 3 Press and hold standby for 2 seconds to save the changes 4 Press auto to check the SPX5 Wheel system performance in Auto mode AutoTrim You may also wish to adjust the AutoTrim setting AutoTrim determines how quickly the SPX5 Wheel system applies standing helm to correct for trim changes caused for example by changes in the wind load on the superstructure or an imbalance of engines Increasing the AutoTrim level reduces the time the SPX5 Wheel system takes to get back onto the correct course but makes the boat less stable If the SPX5 Wheel system Gives unstable course keeping and the boat snakes around the desired course decrease the AutoTrim level Hangs off course for excessive periods of time increase the AutoTrim level Adjusting Before attempting to adjust the AutoTrim setting ensure you have sufficient experience using your SPX5 Wheel system If you need to adjust AutoTrim go up one level at a time and use the lowest acceptable value The range of settings is from OFF no trim correction to 4 fastest trim correction44 SmartPilot X5 Wheel Installation Setup Guide To adjust the AutoTrim 1 Access the AUTOTRIM

operating requirements but as many will have been adjusted to optimum values when commissioning the system they should not require further change If you change the calibration settings after the SPX5 Wheel system has been commissioned you do not need to repeat the commissioning process However DO NOT manually adjust autopilot settings before the commissioning procedures in Chapter 3 have been completed Calibration modes There are four calibration modes namely Display calibration User calibration Seatrial calibration and Dealer calibration Each calibration mode uses a series of screens to set calibration values Display calibration The items in Display calibration affect the SPX5 Wheel system Pilot Controller They are stored in the controller and do not affect any other controllers connected through SeaTalk You can adjust the Display calibration settings as often as necessary for example to add or change information displayed on data pages User calibration The User calibration mode includes settings that you may need to adjust on a regular basis to respond to changing conditions Seatrial calibration The Seatrial calibration mode is used ONLY when commissioning your SPX5 Wheel system as described in Chapter 3 so is not described again here Do not access Seatrial calibration during normal operation Dealer calibration The Dealer calibration mode includes items that have
