1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Congratulations on choosing the
Autohelm PowerPilot. It offers
outstanding self steering capability for a
wide range of modern powercraft
equipped with hydraulic steering.
The PowerPilot uses microprocessor
based technology and easy to use control
pads to give you total command under
autopilot control without the need for
constant adjustments.
The PotierPilot is manufactured by the
worlds largest producer of Marine
autopilots with Technical Advice, Service
and Support ready to help you get the
most from your Autohelm.

FLUX GATE

The PowerPilot is modular and designed


for easy installation with flexibility to cope
with the variation of individual craft and
owner specifications. It is supplied as
standard with the course computer, one
control unit, fluxgate compass, hydraulic
drive unit, and rudder reference
transducer. The basic Autohelm
PowerPilot
can be extended to suit
individual requirements. The basic system
is illustrated below in Figure 1.

1.1 .l Course Computer


The course computer houses the
microprocessor, electronic control circuitry
and power amplifier to drive the hydraulic
pump.
The course computer is splash proof
only and must be mounted in a dry and
protected position.

1 .1.2 Control Unit


The six button control unit is fully
waterproof and is mounted close to the
steering position. It is designed for surface
mounting, or alternatively can be bracket
mounted if required (bracket mounting kit
Cat. No. D105).
A second control unit (Cat. No. 2054)
and a hand held control unit (Cat. No.
2056) can be added to the system. The
hand held control unit is fitted with a 6m
(19ft) wander lead and plugs into a
bulkhead mounted waterproof socket.

Compass

The fluxgate compass has been especially


developed for marine application. The
compass contains a gimbal mechanism to
permit accurate readings with pitch and
roll movements up to t40. The compass
is bulkhead mounted below decks and
connects directly to the course computer.

1.1.4 Rudder Reference


Transducer

213mm (8.37in)

The rudder reference transducer provides


the course computer with a precise
rudder position. It is mounted on a
suitable base adjacent to the rudder
stock. The interconnecting cable connects
directly to the course computer connector
unit.

1.1.5 Auxiliary Alarm

(Cat. No. 2035)


The autopilot is provided with an
automatic off course alarm system which
sounds from all control units and provides
sufficient audible warning under most
conditions. In cases where a high power
alarm is necessary, an auxiliary alarm can
be fitted. The auxiliary alarm is connected
to the main connector unit via a two
core cable.

(3.2%)

1.2 HYDRAULIC DRIVE UNITS

1.2.2 Type 1 Hydraulic Drive

The PowerPilot is available with one of


two hydraulic drive units, depending on
the size of the vessel and the
displacement of the ram.
The vessel size and displacement
recommendations given below apply to
directly driven steering systems. When a
power steering system is fitted the vessel
size and displacement recommendations
can be ignored.

The hydraulic drive unit consists of a


precision gear pump with integral valve
block driven by a continuously rated servo
motor. The pump drive motor is connected
directly to the course computer which also
regulates peak pump pressure and
eliminates the need for end stroke limit
switches.

1.2.1 Type 0 Hydraulic Drive

Maximum Vessel Size

The type 0 hydraulic drive unit consists of


a twin cylinder piston pump powered by a
small but powerful reversing electric
motor.
The high volumetric efficiency of the
piston pump provides precise control,
with the twin pistons offering smoother
and quieter operation than would be
found with a single cylinder design.

1.1.6 Radio Navigation Interface


(Cat. No. 2057)
The PowerPilot
can be interfaced to any
Loran, Decca or Satellite Navigation
receiver having a suitable cross track error
output to NMEA0180/0182/0183. The
radio navigation interface computes the
course adjustments to enable the
PowerPilot
to steer to a selected waypoint.
The unit is waterproof and designed for
surface mounting (normally adjacent to
the Loran/Satellite Navigation receiver). If
required the unit can be bracket mounted
using the bracket mounting kit
(Cat. No. D104).

2. INSTALMTION
WARNING

The Autohelm
PowerPilot requires correct
installation if it is to provide accurate safe
self steering. Whilst designed for simple
installation we strongly recommend that
the system should be installed

professionally or alternatively professional


advice be obtained if you intend to install
the system yourself.
The manufacturers can accept no
liability for any claims arising from
incorrect installation or product useage.

2.1.1 Course Computer


Mounting Position - Below Deck
The course computer should be positioned
in a dry protected area of the vessel free
from high operating temperatures and
excessive vibration. It can be mounted in
any attitude. Care must be taken to allow
at least 15mm (6in) clearance all round to
aid heat dissipation from the power
amplifier in the unit. Do not mount in the
engine room.
DO NOT position the course computer
so that it will:
l Receive any direct water splash/spray
(from Bilge/Hatch etc).
l Be liable to physical damage from heavy
items.
0 Be covered by other equipment or
onboard gear.
l Be close to major sources of
transmitted energy (Generators/S%
radios, Aerial Cables etc).

in use we strongly recommend the use of a


protective cover (optional extra
Cat. No. DlOl).
WARNING

Safe operation of the PowerPilot requires


that the control unit be mounted within
easy reach of the helmsman when in the
normal steering position. Position the
control unit to ensure this requirement is
met.
Mounting Instructions

The unit is attached with reusable positive


locking pads. In most cases, the pads may
be stuck directly onto the mounting
surface.
l
Using the template supplied, select the
control unit position, mark off and drill
the 17mm (5/8in) hole for the
interconnect cable.
l Attach the positive-lock pads to the rear
of the control unit (Fig. 4).

the 17mm (518in) hole, peel off the
backing from the pads (Fig. 5).
l
Press the unit onto the mounting
surface maintaining pressure for 30
seconds to ensure a strong bond.
The control unit interconnect cable is
now ready for connection to the course
computer (See 2.3).
l

Where the control unit is to be mounted


to a painted, varnished or untreated wood
surface the carriers supplied should be
used to provide a sound bonding surface
for the mounting pads. (Fig. 6).

Fig.

Instructions
l Using the template supplied mark off
and drill the 17mm (518in) hole and
mark off and pilot drill the fixing holes
for the carriers.
l
Screw the holders inio position using
the self tapping screwS provided.
l
Clean the holder surface with alcohol
(oiequivalent) and stick the positive
lock pads into place (Fig. 6).
l Note An additional foam seal must be
used in this method to provide sealing.
l Carefully align the control unit with the
holders and press firmly into place to
secure a positive attachment.

The fluxgate compass may be attached to


a convenient bulkhead using the self
tapping screws provided. Unscrew the top
cap to release the compass housing from
the mounting bracket (Fig. 7). Screw the
bracket to the bulkhead using the self
tapping screws provided and finally reattachthe compass body to the mounting
bracket.
Correct positioning of the fluxgate is
crucial if ultimate performance from the
autopilot installation is to be achieved.
The fluxgate should ideally be positioned
as near as possible to the pitch and roll
centre of the vessel in order to minimise
gimbal disturbance (Fig. 8).

It is very important to ensure that the


fluxgate is positioned at least 0.8m
(2ft6in) away from the vessels steering
compass in order to avoid deviation of
both compasses. The fluxgate must also
be positioned as far away as possible from
large iron masses, such as the engine and
other magnetic devices which may cause
deviation and reduce the sensitivity of the
sensor. If any doubt exists over magnetic
suitability of the chosen site, the position
may be surveyed using a simple hand
bearing compass. The hand bearing
compass should be fixed in the chosen
position and the vessel swung through
360. Relative differences in reading
between the hand bearing compass and
the vessels main steering compass should
ideally not exceed 5O on any heading.

arm. If it is more convenient, the rudder
reference unit may be mounted upside
down (label downwards), but if this is
done, the red and green wires must be
reversed in the connector unit.
It is important to ensure that
dimensions A and B (fig. 11) are the same
at both points and that when the rudder
is amidships the unit arm is opposite the
cable gland and makes an angle of 90
with the connecting bar.

Precautions

Correct installation of the course


computer and fluxgate compass is vital to
the successful performance of the
Autohelm Pow&Pilot. The installation
precautions must be heeded if poor
performance or even failure of the
autopilot is to be avoided.

Having selected a suitable position


(Fig. lo), the interconnecting link A may
be cut to length and the linkage fastened
ensuring that the locking nuts B are
secure. The tiller arm should be tapped
M6 to a depth of 2Omm (13/l 6in) or
through drilled to accept the ball joint
supplied. The rudder should then be
moved from side to side to ensure the
linkage is free from any obstruction,

The remote control socket is pre-wired


with the interconnecting cable. A 22mm
(7/8in) diameter hole should be bored
through the mounting panel and the
socket screwed into position using the
four self tapping screws provided (Fig. 13).

Auxiliary Alarm (Cat. No. 2035)

The auxiliary alarm unit is waterproof and


may therefore be mounted in any
position. The alarm unit is supplied with a
terminal block to connect a two core
interconnection cable to the course
computer. A 22mm (718in) hole should.be
bored through the mounting panel/deck
to pass through the two way connector
block and interconnecting cable (Fig. 14).
Finally, the alarm unit should be
screwed into position using the four self
tapping screws provided. A foam seal on
the alarm mounting flange will ensure a
watertight joint to the mounting surface.

2.2 HYDRAULIC DRIVE UNIT


General guidelines
The hydraulic drive unit should be
mounted clear of spray and the possibility
of immersion in water. It should be
located as near as possible to the
hydraulic steering cylinder. It is important
to bolt the hydraulic drive unit securely to
a substantial member to avoid any
possibility of vibration that could damage
the inter-connecting pipework.
There are three basic types of hydraulic
steering system, and these are illustrated
in Fig. 15. Typical connection points for
the drive unit are shown in each case. In
all cases it is strongly recommended that
the steering gear manufacturer be
consulted.
Minimisation of hydraulic fluid loss
during connection of the drive unit will
help to reduce the time and effort
required later to bleed the system of
trapped air. Absolute cleanliness is
essential since even the smallest particle
of foreign matter could interfere with the
correct function of precision check valves
in the steering system.

When the installation has been


completed the hydraulic pump may be
operated by switching the control unit to
Auto and operating the + 10 and - 10
course change buttons. Greater motor
movements will be obtained if the rudder
control is set to maximum.
The hydraulic steering system should be
bled according to the manufacturers
instructions. From time to time during the
bleeding process the drive unit should be
run in both directions to clear trapped air
from the pump and inter-connecting pipe
work.
If the air is left in the system the
steering will feel spongy particularly when
the wheel is rotated to the hardover
position. Trapped air will severely impair
correct operation of the autopilot and the
steering system and must be removed.
During the installation of the system it
has not been necessary to keep track of
the connection sense to the hydraulic
steering circuit since operating sense of
the autopilot can be corrected if necessary
by reversing the pobrity of the pump drive
motor connections (see section 3.3.1).

2.2.1 Type 0 Installation


The Type 0 pump must be mounted
vertically with the mounting flange bolted
to a suitable horizontal surface using four
6mm (114in) bolts.
All ports are tapped 1/8in B.S.P. Three
1/8in B.S.P. to 1/4in N.PT. adaptors are
included to convert to N.PT. where
required. The sealing washers supplied
should be placed between the fitting and
the pump (Fig. 16).
It is recommended that 1/4in fittings or
larger are used throughout to minimise
transmission losses.

connection to the relevant connector
block (Fig. 19).
Each connector block is clearly
identified on the printed circuit board and
each wire position is identified by
coloured dots which match the individual
wire colours. The cable screen should be
connected to terminals identified by a
white dot.
Each peripheral unit is supplied with 6m

Similarly, the total length of
interconnecting cable to the fluxgate
should not exceed 2Om (60ft). If it is
necessary to exceed the above maximum
length recommendations, please consult
Nautechs Product Support Department
for specific advice. In general the length
of interconnecting cables should be kept
to an absolute minimum to reduce the
possibility of interference by other
electronic equipment.
All cables should be run at least 1 m
(3ft) from existing cables carrying radio
frequency or pulsed signals, and should
be clamped at 0.5m (1 .Sft) intervals.

2.3.2 DC Power Supplies


(Fig. 22).
Flexible connection tails fitted with
insulated spade connectors are SUpplicd
with the course computer to connect ttle
main power supply (Blue and Brown) and
drive unit motor connections (Red a111j
Black).
All four flexible wire tails are
preconnected
to a four-way heavy duty
terminal block for connection to the main
power cabling. Similarly, the drive Ullil iS
supplied with flexible tails for the motor
power connection (Red and Black).
Before commencing power cabling, all
interconnecting terminal blocks should be
screwed into a position where they will
remain dry and protected. When pl,~nning
the position of the course computer
(ref.2.1.1). it is important to reduce the
overall length of heavy power cable
between the drive unit and the vessels
central power distribution panel to a
minimum.
Excessive lengths will generate losses in
the cable and will reduce system
performance. In addition, the cable length
between the course computer and drive
unit must be less than 5m (16ft).
Having sited the course computer,
measure the total cable length between
the drive unit and the vessels central
distribution panel and select the
appropriate cable size from the table
below.

The power supply must be led from the
main distribution panel and protected by
means of a 25 amp fuse or current
overload trip switch. A separate 5 amp
fuse must be fitted in the electronic
power supply cable.

It is very important that both the


electronic and heavy duty power supplies
are isolated by a switch in the positive
supply line.
When connecting the power supplies to
the main distribution panel and to the
course computer spade connectors, it is
essential that the polarity is correct
(Brown positive, Blue negative).

3.1 BASIC PRINCIPLES

1
J

The following description of the


Autohelm PowerPilots principle of
operation will help you to fully understand
its controls.
Deviation from course is continuously
monitored by a sensitive fluxgate compass
and corrective rudder is applied by the
drive unit to return the vessel to course.
The applied rudder is proportional to
course error at any time and thus when
the course is restored the rudder will be
neutralised. The amount of rudder
applied for a given off-course error must
match both the steering characteristics of
the vessel and speed through the water. A
vessel with a small rudder for example,
will require more corrective helm than a
similar sized vessel with a larger rudder.
Similarly, a high speed power boat will
require considerably less corrective helm
at planing speeds than it will at lower
displacement speeds.
When changes in vessel trim occur due
to variations in wind pressure or engine
throttle setting the course can only be
maintained by the application of
permanent rudder.off-set
(standing helm)
to restore balance. If permanent rudder
off-set is not applied to restore balance
the vessel will bear on to a new heading.
Under these circumstances the Autohelm
PowerPilot detects that the original course
is not being restoredand continues to
apply additional rudder off-set in the
appropriate direction until the vessel
returns to the original heading. Automatic
trimming capability ensures that the
originally set course is held irrespective of
any changes in balance that may occur
during the course of a passage.
Autohelm PowerPilots central
computer also continuously monitors the
pattern of applied rudder correction and
can distinguish unnecessary repetitive
corrections caused by pitch and roll of the

vessel from those necessary to maintain


the selected heading. If unnecessary
repetitive corrections continue the
computer will automatically neglect them
so that autopilot activity and power
consumption is continuously optimised at
minimum levels.
The high degree of control automation
made possible by the systems central
micro computer simplifies user control to
a series of push button operations.

3.2.3 Operating Mode indication


and Course Display

3.2.4 Off-Course Alarm


When the autopilot is set to Auto mode a
built in off-course alarm is automatically
set up. The off-course alarm will sound
from all control units when the vessel
deviates for any reason from the original
course by more than 15 for over 20
seconds. If an auxiliary alarm is fitted this
will also be sounded after a one minute
delay to allow the watchkeeper to take
corrective action.
The alarm will be silenced if the vessel
returns to within 1 So of the original
course. If the vessel does not return within
course limits the alarm can only be
silenced by disengaging the autopilot and
resetting a new course.

The operating mode of the autopilot is


indicated by a flashing red LED, as

If this does not occur, correct operating
sense can be restored as follows:* If the rudder immediately drives hard
over to starboard, the red and green
wires of the rudder reference
transducer should be reversed in the
connector unit.

20

If the rudder immediately drives hard


over to port, the motor connections
between the course computer and
drive unit should be reversed.
l
If the rudder drives a few degrees to
port, reverse the motor connections,
and reverse the red and green wires of
the rudder reference transducer.
N.B. Reversal of the motor connections
should be permanently made at one of
the main terminal blocks and not by
reversing the spade connector flying leads
to the course computer.

3.3.2 Functional Test Procedure


l

Switch on and note that all control


units are live and signalling Stand by
mode.
0 Key Auto on any fixed control unit and
note that Auto mode is indicated on
all control units.
l Key course change commands from all
control units noting that
corresponding helm movements occur.
0 Key Manual on the hand held control
unit (if fitted) and note that Manual
mode is signalled from all control units.
l Key power steer commands via the
course control keys of the hand held
control unit and note that
corresponding incremental helm
movements occur.
l Key Stand by
The automatic trimming capability of
the autopilot can be observed by the
following test:
Key Auto followed by a 1 O course
change to starboard. This effectively
simulates a condition where the need for
standing helm has developed and the
vessel is not returning to course. You will
notice that an initial fixed helm movement
is applied and that after a short interval
the drive unit will continue to apply
further incremental helm movements. If
21

4. SEA TRIALS

left in this condition the rudder will


eventually be driven hard over. If, however,
the vessel were moving through the
water, the progressive application of
additional helm would eventually return
the vessel to the correct course with the
necessary standing helm applied. Return
to course can be simulated by keying - 10
(to return to the current heading). The
progressive application of standing helm
will cease when the fluxgate senses that
the course error has been removed.

3.3.3 Drive Unit Test Procedures


Before attempting sea trials it is important
to check that the vital link with the
steering system provided by the hydraulic
pump and rudder reference transducer
are free from obstruction and operating
correctly.
Warning
When the steering system is being moved
manually or under drive from the
autopilot do not touch any part of the
system. The forces exerted are
considerable and could cause injury.
With an assistant to turn the main
steering wheel get into a position where
the tiller and rudder reference transducer
can be seen.
l With the autopilot in Stand by turn
the sheering wheel from hard over to
hard over.
l
Check that the rudder reference
transducer and linkage do not foul any
part of the steering mechanism or
vessels structure.
0 Select Auto and use the + 10 button
to drive the rudder hard over (use
maximum rudder setting).
l Use the - 10 button to drive the
rudder hard over in the opposite
direction.

22

Check that the steering ram moves


smoothly and that there is no excessive
play.
0 Check that all unions are tight and
there is no seepage of hydraulic fluid.
l

Current Limit and Cutout


When the rudder is driven onto end stops
drive to the hydraulic pump may cut out
after a few seconds. This is normal. Drive
will only be restored if the rudder moves
away from the end stop or if drive is
required in the opposite direction.
The performance of the Autohelm
PowerPilot
will only reach the designed
levels if the installation of the hydraulic
pump and rudder reference transducer is
correctly engineered and adjusted. It is
strongly advised that these be checked
before sea trials.

Initial sea trials should be carried out in


calm conditions with plenty of sea room.
The previously conducted functional test
will have verified that the autopilot is
operating correctly and that you are
familiar with all of its controls.
Set the rudder control on all control
units to minimum.
Initial sea trials on fast planing vessels
should be conducted at no more than half
engine speed. Minimum setting of the
rudder control should provide stable
steering performance.
Fine setting of the rudder control is
discussed later (4.2).

4.1 FIRST SEA TRIALS


During first sea trials, the vessel will be
constanfly changing heading, and it is,
therefore, very important to maintain a
constant look-out. The following initial
trial procedure is recommended:@ Steer on to a compass heading and
hold the course steady.
0 Press Auto to lock on to the current
heading. In calm sea conditions a
perfectly constant heading will be
maintained.
0 Alter course to port or starboard in
multiple increments of 1 and 10
degrees from any control unit. Course
changes should be prompt and
without any sign of overshooting.
l If a hand held control unit is fitted key
Manual to change over to remote
power steering. Practice power
steering using the four course control
keys..
0 Press Stand by to disengage the
autopilot for return to hand steering.
Automatic Sea State Control
During the sea trial, the operation of the
automatic sea state control can be
observed. When the autopilot is initially
engaged in Auto mode the autopilot will
respond to all pitch and roll movements.

During the first minute of operation, it will


be noticed that repetitive movements of
the vessel are gradually neglected until
finally the autopilot will respond only to
true variations in course.
To ensure precise course adjustments
the sea state control is automatically reset
whenever a 1 O0 course change is
selected.
Automatic Trim Control

The Autohelm PowerPilot automatically


corrects for trim. No adjustment of the
pilot is necessary.
After each course change the
Automatic Trim is cancelled and the
Autohelm PowerPilot will re-establish the
correct trim for the new heading. This
process takes approximately one second
per degree of course change. It should be
noted that if a large course change is
keyed in (greater than 60) the pilot will
not assume the final selected course
immediately. The vessel will come to
within say 10 of the desired course and
will only settle onto course when the
Automatic Trim has been fully established.
It is recommended the following
procedure is adopted for large course
changes.
l
Note required new heading
l
Select Stand by and steer manually
l
Bring vessel onto new heading
0 Select Auto and let vessel settle onto
course
l Bring to final course with 1 0
increments.
It is sound seamanship to make major
course changes only whilst steering
manually. In this way any obstructions or
other vessels may be cleared properly and
due account taken of the changed wind
and sea conditions on.the new heading
prior to engaging the pilot.

23

5. OPERATING HINTS
4.2 RUDDER CONTROL
ADJUSTMENT
The rudder control setting recommended
on page 22 will provide stable control for
initial sea trials. However, power craft can
vary widely in their response to the helm
and further adjustment of the rudder
control setting may improve the
Autohelms steering characteristics.
An excessively high rudder control
setting results in oversteer which can be
recognised by the vessel swinging from
side to side of the automatic heading
accompanied by excessive rudder
movement. In addition, distinct overshoot
will be observed when the course is
changed. This condition can be corrected
by reducing the rudder control setting
(rotating rudder control anticlockwise).
Similarly, an insufficient rudder control
setting results in understeer which gives
sluggish steering performance and is
particularly apparent whenchanging
course. This is corrected by increasing the
rudder control setting (rotating rudder
control clockwise). These tendencies are
most easily recognised in calm sea
conditions where wave action does not
mask basic steering performance. The
rudder control setting is not over critical
and should be set to the lowest setting
consistent with accurate course keeping.
This will minimise actuator movements
and hence reduce power consumption.
It may be noticed that the autopilot
tends to be a little less stable on northerly
headings in the higher latitudes of the
northern hemisphere (and converse!y
southerly headings in the southern
hemisphere). This is caused by the
increasing angle of dip of the earths
magnetic field at higher latitudes which
has the effect of amplifying rudder
response on northerly. headings. The
tendency towards northerly heading
instability is usually more .obvious in
24

higher speed craft and when it occurs can


be corrected by reducing the rudder
control setting. In excess of 30 knots, a
reduction by at least two positions can
often be required within 45 of North.
Planing Craft
On fast planing craft which operate over a
wide speed range, the rudder control
setting often requires reduction at higher
speeds where steering effectiveness is
increased. Oversteer can be extremely
violent at planing speeds and it is
recommended that the rudder control
setting is reduced before opening the
throttle.

Autohelm PowerPilots central course


computer continuously optimises
automatic steering performance
eliminating the need for operator
supervision.
It is, however, very important to
understand the effect of sudden trim
changes on steering performance.
At planing speeds, where only a small
proportion of the hull is in contact with
the water, variations in wind speed and
direction can produce significant changes
in trim. Similarly, variations in vessel
attitude and engine settings also produce
trim changes. When a change in trim
occurs the automatic trim compensation
system requires at least 120 seconds to
apply the necessary rudder off-set to
restore the automatic heading. In gusting
conditions, therefore, particularly when
the wind is forward of the beam, the
course may tend to wander slightly.
Passage making under automatic pilot
is a very pleasant experience which can
lead to the temptation of relaxing
permanent watch. This must always be
avoided no matter how clear the sea may
appear to be.

5.1 UNSATISFACTORY STEERING


PERFORMANCE
If the Autohelm PowerPilot has been
correctly specified, installed in accordance
with the instructions and adjusted
correctly it will provide outstandingly
good steering precision over a very wide
range of wind and sea conditions.
If the performance falls below your
expectations and the pilot appears to be
working correctly the fault will normally
be found by carrying out the simple
checks outlined below. Before reporting
your difficulties to an Autohelm specialist,
please check the following:* Have the test procedures and
adjustments detailed in Section 3.3

6. MAINTENANCE

7. FAULT LOCATION PROCEDURE

The autopilot is one of the most used and


hardest working items of equipment on
board, and therefore must receive its fair
share of attention and routine
maintenance.
Regular inspection of the installation is
recommended in the following areas
where applicable.
1. Check that Hydraulic Steering systems
are free from leaks and trapped air.
Bleed when necessary to remove air
from the system.
2. Check that all inter-connecting cable
terminals are fully tightened and
corrosion free.
3. Check that external waterproof sockets
are capped when not in use and
periodically spray with WD40 (or
similar) to protect from corrosion.
4. Check that the heavy power supply
cable connections are tight and free
from corrosion.

Autohelm PowerPilot has been designed


to achieve very high standards of reliability
combined with ease of servicing.
If a fault should appear, please double
check that all connections in the
connector unit are sound and that the
heavy power cable connections are tight
and free from corrosion. If you are
satisfied that all connections are sound,
the simple check procedure tabulated
below will assist you to locate the most
likely fault area.
Since the course computer houses the
majority of the electronic control system
there is a high probability that if an
electronic fault has occured it will be

located in this area. The course computer


unplugs easily for servicing (Section
2.1.1).
Control units are removed using a
suitable lever to separate the pads starting
at one corner. Do not use excessive force.
Disconnect from the connector unit and
withdraw the interconnecting cable
(Section 2.1.2).
The faulty unit should be removed and
returned to your nearest service agent.
