Fig.17 Do not mount the com[...]

18 19 E lectronic Control Unit (ECU) : The ECU will need to be mounted within 20” of the pump unit. (Wire length only allows for 20” and cannot be lengthened) Most all components in the system connect to this unit, so considerations will need to be made due to cable access and lengths. Do not use any grease inside the pico connections on the EC[...]

20 21 NMEA 0183 Connections The Autopilot does not need to connect to a GPS for the autopilot to work, but if you want to use waypoint steering you must connect to a GPS and set North see page 32. The Autopilot will accept NMEA input from two GPS units and transmit NMEA to one receiving device. Only one of the GPS inputs is used for steering contro[...]

20 21 The TR-1 Autopilot is designed in conformance with the NMEA 0183 standard. The TR-1 will communicate reliably and safely when connected to other devices that meet this standard with the normal wire connections. Some manufacturers imply that they conform to the standard when in fact they do not. Any device that requir es a signal connection to[...]

30 31 Section II Dockside Setup and Sea T rial Setup of Autopilot Y our autopilot needs to be setup and tuned to your boat dynamics and motor conguration. It is important to get the autopilot operating the best in can. The Dockside Setup and the Sea Trial Setup are steps that must be followed to achieve the best performance from the TR-1 Gladiat[...]

30 31 Sea T rial Setup: Steps 10-15 will need to be performed on open water , fr ee of obstacles. 10. Calibrate your compass. The autopilot compass is made with a  uxgate. Like all compass installations,  uxgate installations are susceptible to local magnetic disturbances that will cause erroneous heading outputs. The autopilot computer can d[...]

32 33 1 1. Restart the autopilot by pressing and releasing the Deckmount On/Off switch. 12. Autotune. The autopilot’ s autotune function can really simplify the problem of adjusting the feedback gains. The autotuner will adjust the gains well enough that you may not need to do any additional adjustments at all. Y ou can adjust the autotune result[...]

32 33 14. Set North. This needs to be done if any GPS or radar overlay functions are going to be used. T o run a GPS course requires that the autopilot compass is in agreement with the GPS’ s magnetic map. Y ou need to set North with the pilot in standby mode. Setting North may require a signi cant amount of clear sea space in front of your bo[...]

34 35 15. Fine T uning. (Optional) If autotune did a pretty good job but you feel that the dead idle response of the pilot is a bit “twitchy”, try to eliminate the twitch by increasing the Low RPM Limit [ Code 357 ] to a few hundred RPM more than your dead idle RPM. If you want to hold heading more aggressively at high speeds, try decreasing th[...]
