Cabling
The RayPilot control unit is provided with a 9 m (30 ft) SeaTalk cable fitted with a flat moulded 3-pin socket on each end. The SeaTalk cable provides power to the control unit and allows it to share data. Plug one end of the cable into one of the two SeaTalk sockets on the back of the RayPilot control unit. Run the SeaTalk cable back to the course computer, bearing in mind the EMC and cabling guidelines at the start of this chapter. Note: If the control unit is not the main autopilot control unit, run the SeaTalk cable to the main control unit and connect to the free SeaTalk socket on the rear of the unit. Cut the remaining plug from the SeaTalk cable and connect to the wires to the SeaTalk terminals on the course computer as shown in the following illustration.

Note: The joystick is an option for Type 100/300 course computers.
Mounting
The mounting surface must be smooth and flat to insure that there is adequate waterproofing. Use the template provided to mark the centers for the two fixing holes and outline of the body aperture. Peel off the protective paper from the rear of the weather gasket and fix to the mounting surface. Pass the cable through the body aperture and secure the joystick with the thumb nuts provided.

Chapter 5: Commissioning the Autopilot
WARNING:
All new autopilot system installations MUST be calibrated. If you have connected the RayPilot 650 to a newly installed course computer autopilot system, you must commission the system This involves a series of dockside checks and then the seatrial calibration: Note: Before completing the procedures in this section, complete the `Post installation checks' described in the drive installation guide.
5 Commissioning the Autopilot
5. 1 Dockside checks
With the boat safely tied up, complete the following dockside checks: 1. Set the basic autopilot parameters.
WARNING:
For safe control of your boat, you MUST complete the dockside checks before starting the initial seatrial.
Step 1 - Switch on
1. When you have installed the RayPilot control unit and the rest of the autopilot system, switch on the main power breaker. [. . . ] AutoRelease provides emergency manual over-ride in situations when you need to avoid an obstacle at the last moment.

Response level (rES)
This is the default response setting. The response level controls the relationship between the autopilot's course keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. You can make temporary changes to response during normal operation.

Screen text
Options AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband) = default · autopilot to gradually ignores repetitive boat movements and only react to true variations in course · provides the best compromise between power consumption and course keeping accuracy AutoSeastate off (minimum deadband) · provides tighter course keeping · increased power consumption and drive unit activity AutoSeastate off + counter rudder yaw damping · provides tightest possible course keeping by introducing counter rudder yaw damping
