System Components
The S1000 system comprises a Course Computer, Controller and Hydraulic
Pump. Please ensure that these have been installed and commissioned
correctly using the S1000 Installation Guide. Finally, check that your system
is receiving a good GPS signal through the NMEA or SeaTalk connection.

How do I power the system on?
POWER ON
Ensurethatthe S1000andGPS is poweredonatthe vessel’sbreaker. Onthe
controller,press and hold the STANDBYbutton. The handsetwillbeep, the
display will read STANDBY and you’re ready to go.
When you first switch the S1000 on, it is normal to experience a delay of
about 80 seconds while the processor stabilizes. This delay also occurs
when you restart following an emergency power-off.
When trolling at slow speeds, the autopilot may take up to 50 seconds to
acquire stable GPS signals and engage AUTO (this is typical of GPS signals
at this slow speed). If you try to engage AUTO during this period, the S100
will display the message "INITIALISING".
Operation modes
The S100 wireless controller is automatically set to Fishing Mode. Do not
select Sail or Power mode as this will cause a loss of calibration.
Using fishing patterns
A short period of operation in AUTO mode is required before accessing
fishing patterns. This allows the course computer to stabilise using the
incoming GPS information. Fishing patterns are only available from AUTO
mode (not STANDBY).
Power saving mode
If you are in STANDBY mode (autopilot off), the handset will automatically
turn off if no button has been pressed for 5 minutes. This will help to extend
the battery life.

GPS filtering
For optimum performance, set GPS device filtering to OFF or WEAK (see
your GPS device documentation for instructions on how to do this). If the
GPS is a Raymarine device, this is done automatically. Both transmit and
receive cabling should be connected.
Note: Not all GPS devices allow filter settings to be changed.
Wireless signal strength
Wireless signal strength(5levels) is shownon the righthand side
of the display.
Keylock
When using your S100, you can temporarily lock the autopilot
keys to ensure that it is not accidentally operated.
How do I activate the keylock?
Press and hold the modebutton until yousee the key symbol and “LOCK”
message.
Note: You cannot activate keylock when the autopilot isin control of your
boat.
How do I turn off the keylock?
Pressmode followed by the PILOT button. A “KEYLOCK OFF” message
will be displayed.
Performance check
The S1000 is factory-set to work straight out of the box for most purposes.
We therefore recommended that you test your S1000 as supplied, and
adjust the settings only if you feel that performance is not satisfactory.

How do I use the autopilot?
Your S1000 can steer your boat according to one of its preset modes.
The modes that are available depend on your boat type. Each of these
are explained on the following pages.
As your S1000 uses a Course-over-Ground (COG) reading from your
GPS to determine the correct heading, you will need to ensure that
you have travelled at over 3 knots, for more than 30 seconds before
you activate the autopilot.

How do I automatically steer straight?
To continue on your current heading under autopilot control, use the
AUTO mode. This will steer you in a straight line ahead until
commanded otherwise. AUTO mode can be used in conjunction with

What is Rudder Gain?
Boats can vary widely in their response to helm, and by adjusting the
rudder gain you can change the S1000's steering characteristics.
Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the S1000 applies to
correct course errors – higher settings mean more rudder is applied.
This can be set in the range 1 to 9.
To determine if your rudder gain is appropriate, make a 40º turn in AUTO
mode
Gain is correct when you make a crisp turn followed by an overshoot of
no more than 5˚.
Gain is too high when you overshoot the turn by more than 5˚ and
there is a distinct ‘S’ in the course (A)
Gain is too low when the boat’s performance is sluggish and it takes a
long time to make a turn. There is also no overshoot (B)

What is Counter Rudder?
Counter rudder is the amount of rudder your S1000 applies to try to
prevent the boat from veering off course. Higher counter rudder
settings result in more rudder being applied. This can be set in the
range 1 to 9.
To determine if your counter rudder setting is appropriate, make a 90º turn
in AUTO mode
Counter Rudder is correct when you make a a smooth continuous
turn with minimal overshoot.
Counter Rudder is too high when the boat ‘fights’ the turn and
makes a series of short, sharp turns resulting in a very ‘mechanical’ feel as
the boat changes course
Counter Rudder is too low when the boat overshoots the turn.

What is Response?
This sets the S1000 response level setting. The response level controls the
relationship between course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/
drive activity. Range is from 1 to 9.
level 1 minimizes the amount of pilot activity. This conserves power, but
may compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy
levels 4 to 6 should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled
turns under normal operating conditions
level 9 gives the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity (and
powerconsumption).Thiscanleadtoaroughpassageinopenwatersasthe
pilot may ‘fight’ the sea.
What is Auto Trim?
The AutoTrim setting determines the rate at which the S1000 applies
‘standinghelm’tocorrectfortrimchangescaused by varyingwindloadson
the superstructure.
The default AutoTrim is set during the autolearn process:
If you need to change the setting, increase the AutoTrim one level at a time
and use the lowest acceptable value:
•
decrease the AutoTrim level if the S1000 gives unstable course
keeping or producing a long ‘S’ in the wake.
•
increase the AutoTrim level if the S1000 reacts slowly to a
heading change and hangs off course.

In some situations, the S1000 will raise more than one alarm. When you
have dealt with the first alarm, it will display the next alarm.

CURRENT LIMIT
Serious drive failure – the drive is taking too much
current due to short-circuit or jamming. Check the
drive unit and wiring.
DRIVE STOPPED
INITIALISING
The autopilot is unable to turn the rudder (this
occurs if the weather load on helm is too high.

NO DATA
The autopilot is in Track mode and:
• the autopilot is not receiving SeaTalk navigation
data, or
• your GPS is receiving a low strength signal, this
will clear when the signal improves

Safety alarm
When activated, the Safety alarm will sound 3 times at 1 second intervals.
This occurs when the autopilot is in control of your boat and:
•
theS1000loses contactwith allofitscontrollers (including wired
controllers),
OR
•
the S1000 loses GPS signal.
In both instances, the S1000 will revert to STANDBY and you will need to
take the helm.
Frequently-asked questions
Q. Will my autopilot work at very slow speeds?
The S1000 uses signals from the GPS network to determine your heading.
For most effective operation, your boat should be travelling above 3 m.p.h.
(2.5 kts). The autopilot will work at speeds down to 1 kt, but operation
below 2.5 kts cannot be guaranteed, as adverse wind and tide conditions
could prevail.
Q. I am automatically following a route set on my
chartplotter, what happens when I arrive at a waypoint?
As you approach a waypoint on your route, your chartplotter will raise an
alarm to indicate thatthis is happening. A few moments later, the S100 will
alsoalarm.Thisisindicatingthattheautopilotwishes tomakeaturn. Atthis
point pressPILOT to accept the turn onto the next leg of the route. If you
pressPILOTbefore the autopilot alarms, the unit will stop following the
track, revert to AUTO mode and you will continue on the current heading.

Q. What should I do when the safety alarm sounds?
The safety alarm willsound when the pilotswitches to STANDBY as asafety
precaution.You MUST take the helm.
The safety alarm will sound when the pilot is in control of your boat, and:
•

General maintenance
Routine checks
The S1000 computer and S100 controller do NOT contain user-serviceable
parts. If you remove the main cover you will invalidate the warranty. It
should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine service technician.
As a result, user maintenance is limited to the following checks
•
•
•
make sure all cable connectors are firmly attached and free of
corrosion
examine for signsof wear or damage – replace any damaged
cables
replace batteries when necessary
Cleaning the S1000 and S100
Take carewhen cleaning the display. Avoid wiping the display screen with a
dry cloth as this could scratch the screen coating. If necessary, only use a
mild detergent.
Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the computer or
controller. If it is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.
