14 ST6000 Plus Autopilot Control Unit Owner’s Handbook

Automatic acquisition

Automatic acquisition can only be achieved if the pilot is receiving

cross track error and bearing to waypoint information (via SeaTalk or

NMEA 0183). It is initiated as follows:

1. Bring the vessel to within 0.1 nm of track

2. Press auto.

3. Press track to enter Track mode, with the current locked heading

displayed.

After a short delay for data acquisition, the Waypoint Advance

alarm will sound, and the display will show the planned bearing to

waypoint alternating with the direction in which the boat will turn.

Note: If the vessel is further than 0.3 nm from the track, the Large

Cross Track Error alarm will sound. Press standby to cancel the

alarm, hand steer closer to the track, and press auto and track again.

4. Check that it is safe to turn onto the new course.

5. Press the track key. The boat will turn on to the new course and

the alarm will be cancelled.
