System Components
The S1000 system comprises a Course Computer, Controller and Hydraulic
Pump. Please ensure that these have been installed and commissioned
correctly using the S1000 Installation Guide. Finally, check that your system
is receiving a good GPS signal through the NMEA or SeaTalk connection.

Changing the Controller batteries
The S100 Controller is powered by 2 AAA
batteries which are located in the back of the unit.
Ensure that only good quality alkaline batteries
are used. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
A small cross-head screwdriver will be required to
undo the battery cover screws.
Remove the batteries from the unit if you do not
intend using it for more than a month.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s instructions for
proper ca re and dis posal of u sed batter ies.

How do I power the system on?
POWER ON
Ensure that the S1000 and GPS is powered on at the vessel’s breaker. On the
controller, press and hold the STANDBY button. The handset will beep, 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 b e connected.
Note: Not all GPS devices allow filter settings to be changed.
Wireless signal strength
Wireless signal strength (5 levels) is shown on the right hand 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 mode button until you see the key symbol and “LOCK”
message.
Note: You cannot activate keylock when the autopilot is in control of your
boat.
How do I turn off the keylock?
Press mode 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.

How do I automatically steer straight?
To continue on your current heading under autopilot control, use the
AUTO mode. This will steer you in a straight line ahead until
commanded otherwise. AUTO mode can be used in conjunction with
SMARTSTEER to give you remote, power-steering control of your boat.

How do I follow a route from my GPS?
Your autopilot can follow a route that you have previously set on your
