WARNING!
An autopilot is a very useful navigational aid, but DOES NOT under any
circumstance replace a human navigator.
Do not use automatic steering when:
In heavy traffic areas or in narrow waters
In poor visibility or extreme sea conditions
When in areas where use of an autopilot is prohibited by law

description/installation h1000 pilot h1000 pilot display description The h1000 pilot display is designed to be mounted above or below decks. The display head allows control of the pilot and by installing multiple display heads, gives control at any station. It can be 2 connected to all other h1000 Instruments via the Fastnet connectors to provide an integrated autopilot and navigational system. Caution: it is essential that the pilot is calibrated before operation. Details are given in th

description/installation h1000 pilot h1000 compass unit description The h1000 compass is an electronic fluxgate for use with all h1000 systems. The unit is housed in a sealed casing constructed of high impact plastic. It is therefore suitable for on or below deck mounting. If installed in a vessel with a steel or reinforced concrete hull it may be necessary to install the compass unit outside the magnetic screening affect of the hull and super-structure. Two Fastnet² connectors are provid

description/installation h1000 pilot rudder reference unit (rru) description The Rudder Reference Unit (rru) is a sealed, high specification potentiometer in a robust casing, providing rudder position information to the pilot computer unit. The operating arm is constructed from aluminium with three positions pre-drilled for the adjustable drag-link. The drag-link has ball-joints at each end which connect the unit operating arm to the tiller arm or steering quadrant. The unit base has four h

Note: If there is less than a 1V d.c. change the pilot will not commission. After installation check full movement of the steering system ensuring that there is no fouling between the steering gear, rru parts and drive unit. Ensure that there is no backlash in the linkage between the

Check that when hardover, the rru arm and drag-link do not form a straight line. If this occurs the steering system could become damaged or jammed endangering the boat and crew. This fault can easily be rectified, by adjusting the position of the RRU. linear feedback unit Where installation of the conventional rudder refere
