Appendix: Using the <strong>ST6001</strong>+ With Non-150/400 Autopilots 107<br />

Drive type<br />

The drive type setting controls how the autopilot drives the steering<br />

system. You should set the drive type when commissioning the<br />

autopilot (see page 61).<br />

Options<br />

DRIVE TYP 1 or 2<br />

DRIVE TYP 3<br />

DRIVE TYP 4<br />

DRIVE TYP 5<br />

Not used<br />

Linear drive, rotary drive or I/O (stern) drive<br />

Hydraulic pump or hydraulic linear drive<br />

Constant running hydraulic pump solenoids<br />

Rudder damping<br />

Set this option during the initial dockside checks if the autopilot<br />

‘hunts’ when trying to position the rudder (see page 62).<br />

Screen text Range<br />

RUDD DAMP 1 to 9<br />

Magnetic variation<br />

If required, set this value to the level of magnetic variation present at<br />

your boat’s current position – indicated as east (VAR EAST) or west<br />

(VAR WEST). The autopilot sends this variation setting to other<br />

instruments on the SeaTalk system, and it can be updated by other<br />

SeaTalk instruments.<br />

Screen text Options<br />

VARIATION Default setting = 0°<br />

VAR EAST/ VAR WEST 30°EAST(-30°) to 30° WEST (+30°) in 1° steps<br />

AutoAdapt<br />

The AutoAdapt feature allows the autopilot to compensate for<br />

heading errors at higher latitudes, which are caused by the increasing<br />

dip of the earth’s magnetic field.<br />

The increased dip has the effect of amplifying rudder response on<br />

northerly headings in the northern hemisphere, and on southerly<br />

headings in the southern hemisphere.<br />
