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.

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  
‘standinghelmtocorrectfortrimchangescaused 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.

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

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.
