Safety You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. Your TR-1 Autopilot is a tool that will enhance your capability to operate your boat and catch fish. It does not relieve you from the responsibility for safe operation of your vessel. You must avoid hazards to navigation and never leave the helm unattended. In case of autopilot pump failure or leakage, shut the valves located on the front of the manifold see page 15.

Mounting Considerations, Protection, Hydraulic Connections, Magnetic Environment, System Maintenance Pump Unit: The Pump unit will need to be mounted within at least 20” of the ECU. It will need to be mounted in a horizontal position to a solid surface. Do not mount the pump vertical with the pump end down, air gets trapped in the pump head end and it will not work correctly. Do not lengthen or splice the #5 wire or the orange and black power wires. See page 18 Unbalanced Cylinder Kit:

Protection Locate the Pump Unit, the ECU and the Compass Ball in a place where they will not be submerged or exposed to wash down. Spray the installed components with a protective corrosion prohibitive like Bo-Shield or Corrosion X, etc. Hydraulic Connections Before starting the hydraulic installation, please verify the type of hydraulic steering in the boat. If it does not match the hydraulic layouts in this manual, call technical support at 1-866-559-0229 for specific installation procedur

Installation of Unbalanced Valve If the system was ordered as an Unbalanced System, the kit is installed at the factory. The unbalanced valve accessory is a pilot operated bleed valve. It is intended for use when the steering cylinder fitted to the vessel is of the unbalanced type. In use the bleed valve equalizes the amount of hydraulic oil that is returned to the tank from the low pressure side of the cylinder with the amount of oil that is being pumped to the high pressure side. These e

We reccommend that it be mounted in a horizontal position, preferably fl oor mounted to a solid surface. Do not install the pump vertically with the pump head down. (Air will be trapped in pump head) Do not lengthen or splice the #5 wire or the orange and black power wires. Do not use !

Installation Of Pump Unit Return or Compensating line: See Fig. 2. or Fig. 3. You will need to Pressure add the section of hose from the Return or compensating hose line on the lines back of your helm to the Return connection on the hydraulic pump motor. Return/ compensating line Fig. 2 The manifold allows for different hose configurations to allow more room to access the fittings. You may use either the upper fittings or the front fittings, or a combination of both. For example, (Fig 4

Installation of Compass Ball The Compass Ball connects to #4 on the ECU. The Compass needs to be mounted in the front 1/2 of the boat. The Compass ball contains a fluxgate compass which is sensitive to magnetic disturbances, be aware of what is around it before mounting it permanently. Keep such items as, radio speakers, anchors, air ride seats, windshield wiper motors, tool boxes, fire extinguisher, and the autopilot pump motor at least 24” away from the Compass Ball. These items will ca

Installation of Compass Ball Step Three: Adjusting Compass Ball Readjust the ball if necessary and fi x it in position by tightening the thumbscrew. See Fig.16. Make sure the that the wires from the Compass Ball are pointing straight down, out the bottom; (toward the water) otherwise the Compass Ball will not work properly. See Fig. 17.

Installation Of Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Electronic Control Unit (ECU): The ECU will need to be mounted within 20” of the pump unit. (Wire length only allows for 20” and cannot be lengthened) Most all components in the system connect to this unit, so considerations will need to be made due to cable access and lengths. Do not use any grease inside the pico connections on the ECU, the plugs will not fit properly, and you will end up with a loose connection. Be sure to push the pico con

To ECU #4 Connector NMEA 0183 Connections The Autopilot does not need to connect to a GPS for the autopilot to work, but if you want to use waypoint steering you must connect to a GPS and set North see page 32. The Autopilot will accept NMEA input from two GPS units and transmit NMEA to one receiving device. Only one of the GPS inputs is used for steering control at a time. Selection of the controlling GPS is made through the NMEA source selection [code 34] (see pages 36-38 for explanat
