ST7002 SmartPilot Controller Operating Guide  
Your Raymarine SmartPilot will add a new dimension to your boating enjoyment.  
However, it is the skipper’s responsibility to ensure the safety of the boat at all  
times by following these basic rules:  
Ensure that someone is present at the helm AT ALL TIMES, to take manual  
control in an emergency.  
Make sure that all members of crew know how to disengage the autopilot.  
Regularly check for other boats and any obstacles to navigation – no matter  
how clear the sea appears, a dangerous situation can develop rapidly.  
Maintain an accurate record of the boat’s position by using either a naviga-  
tion aid or visual bearings.  
Maintain a continuous plot of your boat’s position on a current chart. Ensure  
that the locked autopilot heading will steer the boat clear of all obstacles.  
Make proper allowance for tidal set – the autopilot cannot.  
Even when your autopilot is locked onto the desired track using a navigation  
aid, always maintain a log and make regular positional plots. Navigation sig-  
nals can produce significant errors under some circumstances and the autopi-  
lot will not be able to detect these errors.

1.3 Using the SmartPilot to steer your boat  
CAUTION: Maintain a permanent watch  
Automatic course control makes it easier to sail a boat, but it is  
NOT a substitute for good seamanship. ALWAYS maintain a  
permanent watch by the helm.  
How do I automatically steer to a heading?  
1. Steady the boat on the required heading.  
2. Press auto.  
The SmartPilot is now in AUTO mode and will steer to the chosen heading,  
shown on the display. This mode is often known as “point-and-shoot”.

2. When safely clear of the obstacle, reverse the previous course change (for  
example, press +10 three times).  
1.4 How do I adjust the performance of my  
SmartPilot?  
The principal method of adjusting the performance of SmartPilot systems is by  
changing the response level. This is the only user adjustment you should need to  
make to your SmartPilot on a regular basis.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
Chapter 1: SmartPilot Operation  
7
The response level controls the relationship between the SmartPilot’s course  
keeping accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity. When you turn on your  
SmartPilot it will always be at the default level. (This level can be adjusted in User  
Calibration see page 24)  
When you require extra tight course keeping (e.g. for pilotage in confined and  
sheltered waters), increase the setting. If you want to minimize drive activity and  
conserve battery power, decrease the setting.  
You can make temporary adjustments to the response level when using your  
SmartPilot on a day-to-day basis. By doing this you can match performance to  
conditions as they occur.  
Note: You will lose these temporary changes to response level whenever the system is  
poweredoff. YoucanmakepermanentadjustmentsinUserCalibration(Seepage24).This  
determines the default power-up response level.  
Adjusting performance – S1G, S2G and S3G systems  
S1G, S2G and S3G systems have 9 levels of response:  
level 9 to 7 give the tightest course keeping and greatest rudder activity  
(and powerconsumption). This can lead to arough passage inopen waters as  
the SmartPilot may ‘fight’ the sea.  
levels 6 to 4 should give good course keeping with crisp, well controlled  
turns under normal operating conditions.  
level3to1minimizestheamountofpilotactivity. Thisconservespower, but  
may compromise short-term course-keeping accuracy.  
With these points in mind, you should use the following procedure to make  
temporary adjustments to the response level when required:  
1. Display the RESPONSEscreen by pressingeither the resp button or the -1  
and +1 buttons together momentarily.  
Note: The RESPONSEscreen is set as a default data page (see SmartPilot Commis-  
sioning Guide) so you can also access it by pressing disp and then scrolling through the  
data pages.  
2. Press -1 or +1orthe upor down arrow buttons to change the response level.

3. Press disp or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display.  
Adjusting performance – Non-G systems  
Non-G SmartPilot systems have three different response levels:  
Response Level 1: AutoSeastate on (Automatic deadband)  
The SmartPilot will gradually ignore repetitive boat movements and only  
react to true variations in course. This provides the best compromise between  
power consumption and course keeping accuracy.  
Response Level 2: AutoSeastate off (Minimum deadband)  
This setting provides tighter course keeping but will lead to increased power  
consumption and drive unit activity.  
Response Level 3: AutoSeastate off + yaw damping  
This setting provides the tightest possible course keeping by introducing  
counter rudder yaw damping You can adjust the counter rudder setting in  
Dealer Calibration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide).  
To make a temporary change to the response setting:  
1. Display the RESPONSE screen by pressing either the resp button or the -1  
and +1 buttons together.  
2. Press -1 or +1or the up arrow or down arrow buttons to change the response  
between levels 1 to 3.  
3. Press disp or wait for 5 seconds to return to the previous display.  
Note: You will lose these temporary changes to response level whenever the system is  
powered off. You can make permanent adjustments in User Calibration (see page 24).

for longer than 20 seconds. It shows whether the deviation is to port or starboard.  
Note: The default off course angle is set at 20º. You can adjust this angle in Dealer Cali-  
bration (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide).  
1. To cancel the off course warning, press standby to return to manual steer-  
ing.  
2. Check whether your boat is carrying too much sail, or whether the sails are  
badly balanced. You can usually significantly improve course keeping by  
improving the sail balance.  
Note: The SmartPilot also clears the warning if the heading recovers or if you change  
course.  
1.5 Using the SmartPilot with sail boats  
Tack)  
CAUTION: Allow time for course changes  
When making major course changes, the trim on the boat may  
change substantially. Due to this, the SmartPilot may take some  
time to settle accurately onto the new course.  
The SmartPilot has a built in automatic tack facility (AutoTack) that turns the boat  
through 100° in the required direction. If you have set the vessel type to  
SAIL BOAT, you can adjust the default AutoTack angle in User Calibration (see  
page 23).

How do I prevent accidental gybes?  
The gybe inhibit feature stops the boat from performing an AutoTack away from  
the wind – this will prevent accidental gybes. This feature can be disabled if  
required (see page 24).  
Note: For the gybe inhibit feature to work, the SmartPilot needs suitable wind informa-  
tion.  
With gybe inhibit on:  
you will be able to perform an AutoTack into the wind.  
the autopilot will prevent the boat from performing an AutoTack away from  
the wind, to prevent accidental gybes.  
With gybe inhibit off:  
you can perform an AutoTack into or away from the wind.  
Note: Gybe inhibit is switched on as a default but can be disabled in User Calibration (see  
page 24).  
Gusty conditions  
Ingustyconditions, thecoursemay tendtowanderslightly, particularly if thesails  
are badly balanced. If you take the following precautions, the SmartPilot will be  
able to maintain competent control even in gale force conditions:  
You can improve course keeping by improving the sail balance:  
do not allow the boat to heel over excessively.  
ease the mainsheet traveller to leeward to reduce heeling and weather

Chapter 2: Advanced Operation  
2.1 How do I follow a route set on a Chartplotter?  
CAUTION: Safety in Track mode  
Track mode provides accurate track keeping even in complex  
navigational situations. However, it is still the skipper’s  
responsibility to ensure the safety of their boat at all times  
through careful navigation and frequent position checks. Track  
mode assists precise navigation and removes the tasks of  
compensating for wind and tidal drift. However, you MUST still  
maintain an accurate log with regular plots.  
In Track mode, the SmartPilot maintains a route between waypoints created on a  
navigation system. It makes any course changes necessary to keep your boat on  
course, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway.  
Track mode is available only if you have connected the SmartPilot to a suitable  
navigation system providing SeaTalk or NMEA information. (See SmartPilot  
Commissioning Guide for connection details)  
Your SmartPilot system can receive route information from:  
a SeaTalk navigation instrument or chartplotter.  
a navigation system transmitting data in NMEA 0183 format.  
How do I activate Track mode?  
CAUTION: Make suitable preparations for entering track mode  
When you enter Track mode, the SmartPilot will bring the boat  
onto the track in a controlled way. The closerthe boatis tothecor-  
rect heading and track, the quicker it will settle the boat onto the  
new course. To avoid an unexpected turn, align the boat approxi-  
mately with the required track before entering Track mode.  
Starting with the SmartPilot in AUTO mode and your chartplotter following a  
route.  
1. Press track to enter Track mode.  
2. Wait for the warning to sound.  
The display will show the bearing to the next planned waypoint and the direc-  
tion in which the boat will turn to reach this waypoint.

the display will show the heading required to achieve the required track.  
Notes: (1) The rate of turn when in Track mode is set using the TURN RATEcali-  
bration setting. Adjust this as appropriate for optimum comfort.  
(2) If the boat is more than 0.3 nm from the track, the Large Cross Track Error  
warning will sound (see page 14).

pressing standbyto steer manually in Standby mode.  
What is Cross track error?  
Cross track error (XTE) is the distance between the current positionand a planned  
route. The SmartPilot receives the cross track error information from the  
navigation equipment, and displays the XTE in nautical miles (nm), statute miles  
(SM) or kilometres (km).  
If the cross track error is greater than 0.3 nm, the SmartPilot will sound the Large  
Cross Track Error warning and show whether you are to the port (Pt) or starboard  
(Stb) of the planned track.

What happens when I arrive at a waypoint?  
As the boat arrives at the target waypoint the chartplotter will select the next  
target waypoint and transmit this to the SmartPilot. It will then detect the new

2.2 Using Wind Vane mode – sail boats  
Note: You can only select Wind Vane mode if the SmartPilot is receiving suitable SeaTalk  
or NMEA wind direction information.  
What is Wind Vane mode?  
When the SmartPilot is in Wind Vane mode it uses the fluxgate compass as the  
primary heading reference. As changes in the true or apparent wind angle occur,  
it adjusts the locked heading to maintain the original wind angle.  
Wind information  
To use Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot must receive wind information from one  
of the following sources:  
SeaTalk wind instrument connected to the autopilot via SeaTalk  
NMEA wind instrument  
Raymarine pushpit wind vane connected via a SeaTalk interface  
True and apparent wind  
SmartPilots can maintain a course relative to either an apparent or true wind  
angle in Wind Vane mode  
The default setting is apparent wind. If required, you can change this to true wind  
in User Calibration (see page 24).  
WindTrim  
In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot uses WindTrim to eliminate the effects of  
turbulence and short term wind variations. This provides smooth and precise  
performance with minimal power consumption. You can adjust the wind  
response(WindTrim)levelinUserCalibration(seepage24)tocontrolhowquickly  
the SmartPilot responds to changes in the wind direction. Higher wind trim  
settings will result in a pilot that is more responsive to wind changes.  
How do I select Wind Vane mode?  
You can select Wind Vane mode from either Standby or Auto mode:  
1. Steady the boat onto the required wind angle.  
2. Press standby and auto together to select Wind Vane mode and lock the  
current wind angle:  
the display shows the locked heading (e.g. 128°) and the wind angle  
(e.g. WIND 145P indicates an wind angle of 145° to port)  
if the SmartPilot does not enter Wind Vane mode, it is not receiving wind  
data - check the instrument and connections

+
MAG  
D3565-6  
3. In Wind Vane mode, the SmartPilot will then adjust the boat’s heading to  
maintain the locked wind angle.  
How do I leave Wind Vane mode?  
You can leave Wind Vane mode by:  
pressing auto to return to Auto mode.  
pressing standby to return to manual control.  
How do I adjust the locked wind angle  
You can adjust the locked wind angle by using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 buttons to  
change course. For example, to bear away by 10° when the boat is on a starboard  
tack:  
press -10 to turn the boat 10° to port – the locked wind angle and locked  
heading will both change by 10°.  
the autopilot will then adjust the locked heading as required to maintain the  
new wind angle.  
Note: Because turning the boat affects the relationship between the true and apparent  
wind angles, you should only use this method to make minor adjustments to the wind an-  
gle. For major changes, return to Standby mode, steer onto the new heading, then reselect  
Wind Vane mode.  
How do I dodge an obstacle in Wind Vane mode?  
In Wind Vane mode you still have full control from the keypad. You can make a  
dodge maneuver by using the course change buttons (-1, +1, -10 or +10) to  
select the desired course change.  
After you have avoided the hazard, you can cancel the dodge course change by  
making an equal course change in the opposite direction.

What is a Wind Shift warning?  
If the autopilot detects a wind shift of more than 15° it will sound the wind shift  
warning and display the WIND SHIFT message:  
To cancel the warning, and retain the existing wind angle and new heading,  
press standby and auto together.  
Alternatively, to cancel the warning and return to the previous heading:  
adjust the locked wind angle using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 buttons.  
press standby to return to hand steering, steer onto the required head-  
ing, and press standby and auto together to return to Wind Vane mode  
with the new wind angle.  
How do I use AutoTack in Wind Vane mode?  
Note: If you use the AutoTack function in Wind Vane mode, make sure the wind vane has  
been centered accurately.  
The SmartPilot has a built inautomatic tack facility (AutoTack) that turns the boat  
through 100° in the required direction:  
to AutoTack to port: press the -1 and -10 buttons together.  
to AutoTack to starboard: press the +1 and +10 buttons together.

Note: If you have set the vessel type to SAIL BOAT, you can adjust the default Auto-  
Tack angle in User Calibration (see page 23).  
When you AutoTack in Wind Vane mode, the boat turns through the AutoTack  
angle. The SmartPilot will then trim the heading to mirror the locked wind angle  
from the previous tack.

Operating hints for Wind Vane mode  
Always trim your sails carefully to minimize the amount of standing helm.  
Reef the headsail and mainsail a little early rather than too late.  
In Wind Vane mode the SmartPilot will react to long-term wind shifts, but will  
not correct for short-term changes such as gusts.  
In gusty and unsteady inshore conditions, it is best to sail a few degrees fur-  
ther off the wind so that changes in wind direction can be tolerated.  
2.3 How do I display boat data?  
Use the disp button to show ‘data pages’ of SeaTalk or NMEA data:  
1. Press disp to access the first data page, and press it again to cycle through  
each data page in turn:  
when you cycle past the last data page, the display returns to the current  
SmartPilot mode screen (for example, AUTO).  
4 data pages are set in the factory as a default (see diagram): within User  
setup you can select up to 15 pages and control the information they dis-  
play (see SmartPilot Commissioning Guide).  
Notes: (1) If the SmartPilot system cannot obtain the required information, the data  
page will show dashes instead of a value.  
(2) The direction-to-steer arrows relate to the data page information.  
(3) Most data pages show repeated data so you cannot adjust them: the  
exceptions are the RESPONSE and RUDDER GAINdata pages,  
which you can adjust using the or up/down arrow buttons

EMC advice  
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields.  
These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one  
another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation.  
To minimize these effects and enable you to get the best possible perfor-  
mance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installa-  
tion instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between  
different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compati-  
bility (EMC).  
Always report any EMC-related problems to your nearest Raymarine dealer.  
We use such information to improve our quality standards.  
In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from  
being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the  
equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may  
result in faulty operation.

Marked on Raymarine products that comply with defined European Commu-  
nity standards.  
counter rudder  
Counter rudder is the amount of rudder the autopilot applies to try to prevent  
the boat from yawing off course. Higher counter rudder settings result in more  
rudder being applied.  
CR pump  
DC  
Constant Running hydraulic pump.  
Direct current.  
EMC  
(Electromagnetic  
Compatibility)  
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields.  
These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one  
another, and this can degrade their performance. By following the EMC guide-  
lines in this handbook, you can minimize these effects by ensuring optimum  
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) between equipment.

Meaning  
Term  
NMEA  
The NMEA (National Maritime Electronics Association) protocol is an interna-  
tionally accepted serial communication interface standard for sharing data  
between electronic equipment. Raymarine products can share information  
with non-SeaTalk equipment using the NMEA 0183 protocol.  
response  
The autopilotresponse level controls the relationshipbetween course keeping  
accuracy and the amount of helm/drive activity.  
rudder gain  
SeaTalk  
Rudder gain is a measure of how much helm the autopilot will apply to correct  
course errors. The higher the setting the more rudder will be applied.  
SeaTalk is Raymarine’s proprietary communication system. It links the prod-  
ucts to provide a single, integrated system sharing power and data.  
SeaTalk bus  
This refers to the continuous SeaTalk system connecting together a series of  
Raymarine units.  
SM  
Statute (land) mile.  
VHF  
Very High Frequency (radio).  
WindTrim  
WindTrim (wind response) controls how quickly the autopilot responds to  
changes in the wind direction. Higher wind trim settings will result in a pilot  
that is more responsive to wind changes.  
XTE  
Yaw  
Cross track error.  
The boat’s rate of turn (°/sec).
