If a boat speed input from a paddlewheel sensor
is available, the Pilot has the ad ded facility to
steer to TWA. This gives increased steering
stability, particularly downwind. Steer to TWA is
selected by setting TWA Mode to ON, which is
found in the Pilot Memories menu. Refer to

The compass memory allows a pre-set heading to be defined and any deviation from that course
will be shown as an error on the Tactical Compass page. This course can be updated by one of
three methods. The first method, is simply by pressing the ENTER key whilst the display is showing
the Tactical Compass page. The second is by using the drop down box in the Memories →
Compass → Course, drop down menu. The drop down box offers Use heading which sets the
course to the heading the boat is presently steering to and User defined which allows a pre-set
value to be entered.

PORT and STBD courses (sailboats only) are retained and updated at each press of the ENTER key
whilst in the Tactical Compass page. When OK is selected, control returns to the Memories Menu.

Alarm levels for various measured functions can be set, or inhibited. All the alarms default to OFF
on a factory reset.

If available on the system, the Wind speed, Shallow depth, and Off course alarms can be set from
the Alarms menu. Selecting Pilot activates the Pilot Alarms screen where the Watch timer and
Pilot off course alarms can be set.

It should be noted that two Off course alarms are available with the

calibration

Note: For full details of calibrations for your h1000 pilot r e fer t o t he Inst allation
Manual supplied with your unit.

Calibration

Calibration values take time and effort to
set up and it is often necessary to perform
various manoeuvres with the boat. For this
reason, an optional security check is
provided before entry into the calibration
menus to save accidental resets. Refer to

entering secure mode

This feature is optional and can be disabled.

The security check uses a four digit Personal Identification Number or PIN. If security has been
activated, this PIN must be entered every time to access the Calibrations menu.

After a factory reset the PIN is set to 0000 and in this condition security checking is disabled.
Security is an option on the Calibrations menu, which allows a new PIN to be set. Once a non-zero

PIN has been set the security checking is enabled, and all subsequent access to the Calibration
menu is restricted.

Note: Once the PIN has been entered for any given session the PIN entry screen is
automatically by-passed when re-entering the calibration menu. Upon cycling the power,
the PIN is once again required to enter the cal i bration menu.

precautions

To avoid electromagnetic interference, it is
recommended that the Pilot display be installed
no less than 0.3 metres from a compass and 1
metre from a GPS.

The Pilot is water resistant, but not waterproof.
Use the cover when not in use. The rear
connectors that are not connected to cables
must remain protected by their appropriate
caps.

panel mounting

Ensure there is sufficient room behind the panel to accommodate the fixings and connections, and
using the template supplied, cut a hole in the panel in the desired position.

Fix the mounting bracket into the hole using the screws supplied.
Note: The sealing ring is fitted to the unit during manufacture. Its purpose is to prevent moisture

penetration and reduce the effects of any vibration transmitted through the instrument panel.
Press the Pilot Display firmly into the mounting bracket; an audible ‘click’ will indicate that the

case is correctly located.
Secure the unit to the instrument panel by fitting the studs and thumbnuts supplied.
Caution: To avoid damaging the casing, fixing studs must only be tightened ‘finger-tight’.

In this mode the rudder moves in the direction
of the joystick movement, when th e joystick is

In this mode the position of the rudder imitates
the position of the joystick. When the joystick is
