REACTOR™ 40 HYDRAULIC Configuration Guide Important Safety Information WARNING See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. The autopilot is a tool that enhances your capability to operate your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of safely operating your boat. Avoid navigational hazards and never leave the helm unattended. Always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your boat. Learn to operate the autopilot on calm and hazard-free open water. Use caution when operating the autopilot near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings, and other boats. CAUTION When in use, beware of hot motor and solenoid components and the risk of entrapment from moving parts. Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with these instructions could result in damage or injury. NOTICE To avoid damage to your boat, the autopilot system should be installed by a qualified marine installer. Specific knowledge of hydraulic steering componentry and marine electrical systems is required for proper installation. Configuring the Autopilot The autopilot system must be configured and tuned to your boat dynamics. The Dockside Wizard and the Sea Trial Wizard are used to configure the autopilot. These wizards walk you through the necessary configuration steps. If your autopilot package did not contain a helm control, you must configure the autopilot system using a compatible chartplotter on the same NMEA 2000® network as the autopilot CCU. Instructions for configuration using either the helm control or a chartplotter are provided. Dockside Wizard NOTICE If you perform the Dockside Wizard while your boat is out of the water, provide rudder-movement clearance to avoid damage to the rudder or other objects. You can complete the Dockside Wizard while the boat is in or out of the water. If the boat is in the water, it must be stationary while you complete the wizard. Performing the Dockside Wizard NOTICE If you have a boat with a power assist steering system, turn on the power assist steering system before performing the Dockside Wizard to avoid damaging the steering system. 1 Turn on the autopilot. The first time you turn on the autopilot, you are prompted to complete a short setup sequence. 2 If the Dockside Wizard does not start automatically after the setup sequence, select an option: • On a helm control, select Menu > Setup > Dealer Autopilot Setup > Wizards > Dockside Wizard. • On a chartplotter, select Settings > My Vessel > Autopilot Installation Setup > Wizards > Dockside Wizard. 3 Select the vessel type. 4 If prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to set the helm lock-to-lock, 5 If prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to provide the helm displacement value. 6 If necessary, calibrate the rudder sensor (Calibrating the Rudder Sensor, page 1). 7 Test the steering direction (Testing the Steering Direction, page 1). 8 If necessary, select the speed source (Selecting a Speed Source, page 2). 9 If necessary, verify the tachometer (Verifying the Tachometer, page 2). 10If prompted, test the helm lock-to-lock. 11Review the results of the Dockside Wizard (Reviewing the Results of the Dockside Wizard, page 2). Calibrating the Rudder Sensor NOTE: If an error appears during these steps, the rudder feedback sensor may have reached its limit. If this happens, the rudder feedback sensor may not have been installed correctly. If the problem persists, you can continue with calibration by moving the rudder to the farthest position that does not report an error. 1 Position the rudder so that the boat would steer fully starboard, and select OK. 2 After the starboard calibration is complete, position the rudder so that the boat would steer fully port, and select OK. 3 After the port calibration is complete, center the rudder position, let go, and select Begin. The autopilot takes control of the rudder. 4 Without touching the rudder, helm control, or chartplotter, allow the autopilot to calibrate the rudder. 5 Select an option: • If the calibration did not complete successfully, repeat steps 1 through 4. • If the calibration completed successfully, select OK. Testing the Steering Direction 1 While sitting still or moving at a low rate of speed, select and . When you select , the rudder must turn the boat to the left. When you select , the rudder must turn the boat to the right. 2 Select Continue. 3 Select an option: • If the steering test turns the boat in the correct direction, on a helm control, select Yes. • If the steering test turns the boat in the correct direction, on a chartplotter, select Next. • If the steering test turns the boat in the opposite direction, on a helm control, select No, and repeat steps 1 though 3. • If the steering test turns the boat in the opposite direction, on a chartplotter, select Switch Direction, and repeat steps 1 though 3.
