2 Operation
2.1 General
The Wheelpilot powers up in Standby mode, indicated by a flashing LED next to the STBY/AUTO key.
The two direction LEDs above the Port and Starboard
keys are always dimly lit, which provides night illumination for the keypad. All functions are confirmed
audibly by a “beep” and visually by the LEDs, so the
status of the unit can always be confirmed at a glance.
2.2 Engaging the clutch
The Wheelpilot will not drive in any mode, unless the
drive clutch is engaged first. The clutch is controlled
by the lever on the left side of the unit (Fig 2.1). When
the lever is in the upward position, the clutch is disengaged, and the wheel is free to turn by hand. To
engage the clutch, push the lever down fully until it is
flush with the motor housing. The wheel will then be
held firmly by the Wheelpilot – hand steering will not
be possible until the clutch is disengaged.
2.3 Autopilot Mode
To lock the vessel onto the current heading, simply
steer a straight course, engage the clutch and press the
STBY/AUTO key to switch to Auto mode, indicated
by the LED next to the STBY/AUTO key lighting per-
manently (Fig 2.2).
To lock the pilot onto the desired course, simply steer
the correct course and then engage the autopilot. The
wheel should always be in the centreline position
before engaging the Wheelpilot.
If the STBY/AUTO key is pressed and held, the pilot
will beep a second time and lock onto the previously
used heading (this feature will not be available if the
unit has just been switched on).
To disengage the pilot, press the STBY/AUTO key
and lift the clutch lever. Always switch the pilot to
Standby mode when disengaging the clutch.
2.4 Adjusting Course
While in Autopilot mode, precise course adjustments
can be easily made -
Clutch On
Clutch Off
Page 9
Instruction manual
To make a 1º adjustment, press either the Port or
Starboard key once. This is confirmed by a single beep,
and the relevant Port or Starboard LED will flash once.
To make a 10º adjustment, press and hold the key,
which is confirmed by a double beep and a double
flash of the Port or Starboard LED (Fig 2.3).
2.5 Autotack
The Wheelpilot has a built-in autotack facility, allowing easy tacking of the vessel when single or short
handed. An autotack is only possible when in
Autopilot mode.
To initiate autotack, press and hold the TACK key, followed by either the Port or Starboard key, depending
on which direction you wish to tack (Fig 2.4). The
WP10 has a factory preset autotack angle of 110º.
2.6 Rudder Movement (Gain)
The Wheelpilot uses highly advanced steering software, which constantly assesses how the vessel is being
affected by the prevailing conditions. By adjusting its
own performance, the pilot is able to maintain the most
accurate course for these conditions, just as a human
pilot would. Thus, in a rough sea the pilot is not overworked and battery drain is kept to a minimum.
The pilot will make corrections to compensate for
heading errors, in order to keep the boat on course.
The amount of rudder correction made is set by the
Gain (sometimes referred to as the rudder ratio).
The Gain setting can be compared to driving a motor
vehicle – at high speeds, very little wheel movement is
necessary to steer the vehicle (LOW Gain). When driving at slow speeds, more wheel movement is necessary (HIGH Gain).
Fig 2.5A shows the effect of setting the Gain too low:
the boat takes a long time to return to the correct
heading. Fig 2.5B is ideal, errors are quickly corrected. Fig 2.5C occurs when the Gain too high, causing
the boat to “S”, or oscillate around the correct heading. Excessive Gain (Fig 2.5D) causes instability of
course, leading to increasing error.
To adjust Gain, please refer to section 3.3.

2.7 Seastate
In rough weather, more variations in heading will be
detected by the Wheelpilot due to the heavy seas
yawing the vessel. If no account of this was taken,
then the Wheelpilot would be overworked, causing
unnecessary strain on the unit and excessive drain
on the batteries. All Simrad Wheelpilots will continuously monitor corrections applied to the wheel
over the course of a voyage, and allow a “dead
band” within which the boat can go off course without corrections being made (Fig 2.6).
The dead band is automatically set and updated
by the Wheelpilot to give the best compromise
between course holding and battery consumption.
However, this can be manually set if desired. To
manually adjust the Seastate, please refer to section 3.4.
2.8 Autotrim
Under differing conditions a rudder bias (sometimes
known as standing helm or rudder trim) is applied,
in order to steer a straight course. An example is
when sailing close hauled where the vessel will normally pull into the wind, and the helmsman applies
a standing helm to leeward in order to maintain
course. The amount of this standing helm varies
according to factors such as strength of wind, boat
speed, sail trim and amount of sail set. If no account
of these were taken, then the vessel would tend to
veer off course, or pull around head to wind if sailing close hauled.
The Wheelpilot continuously monitors the average
course error and applies a bias to the wheel to compensate until the optimum condition is reached.
This bias or standing helm is applied gradually, so as
not to upset the normal performance of the
Wheelpilot. Thus, it may take up to a minute or so to
fully compensate after changing tack. Once optimum trim is reached, the pilot will still monitor for
changes in the prevailing conditions and update the
trim accordingly.

3 Configuration
3.1 Scaling
Before using the Wheelpilot, it is necessary to program in the steering sensitivity, which is related to
the number of turns that the wheel makes between
end stops. This will determine the amount of steering correction the Wheelpilot applies.
With the power off, press and hold the TACK and
CAL keys and switch on the power. Both Port and
Starboard LEDs will illuminate, the Cal LED will
flash, and a repeated sequence of beeps will be
heard. The number of flashes and beeps in the
sequence indicates the current scaling factor.
The scaling factor is the total number of half turns
from lock to lock. For example, if the wheel has
three complete turns from lock to lock, the scaling
factor will be 6. If there are 1
1
⁄2 turns from lock to
lock, then the factor will be 3.
Press the Starboardkey to increase the scaling factor by one, to a maximum value of 10 (= 5 turns
lock to lock). Press the Port key to decrease the
scaling factor by one, to a minimum value of 2 (= 1
turn lock to lock).
To confirm scaling setting and return to Standby
mode, press the CAL key.

3.2 Calibration Mode
To adjust the Gain and Seastate settings of the
Wheelpilot it is necessary to enter Calibration mode,
which can be done whilst the Wheelpilot is in either
Standby or Autopilot mode.
Press and hold the TACK key, followed by the CAL
key (Fig 3.2). The Starboard LED will illuminate to
indicate that the pilot is in Gain mode. To toggle
between Gain and Seastate mode, press the TACK
key (Fig 3.3). The Port LED will illuminate to indicate Seastate mode.
3.3 Adjusting Gain
When Gain mode is selected (indicated by the Starboard LED illuminated), the Cal LED will flash and
a repeated sequence of beeps will be heard. The
number of flashes and beeps in the sequence indicates the level of the Gain setting.
To increase the Gain, press the Starboard key the
required number of times to a maximum level of 9
(Fig 3.4). To decrease the Gain, press the Port key the
required number of times to a minimum level of 1.
For example, if the Gain was set at 4 (indicated by a
sequence of four flashes of the Cal LED and four
beeps) and needed to be increased to 7, pressing the
Starboard key three times would adjust the Gain
accordingly. The Cal LED would then flash seven
times and seven beeps would be heard.
3.4 Adjusting Seastate
When adjusting Seastate (indicated by the Port LED
illuminated), the Seastate level is indicated by the
number of audible beeps and flashes of the Cal LED.
No beeps or flashes of the Cal LED indicates that the
pilot is set to automatic Seastate (see section 2.7).
To switch from auto to manual Seastate and
increase the Seastate level, press the Starboard
key the required number of times to a maximum
level of 9. To decrease the Seastate, press the Port
key the required number of times, to a minimum
level of 0 – this will switch the Wheelpilot back to
auto Seastate.
To confirm Gain/Seastate settings and return to
normal operation, press the CAL key.

4 Installation
4.1 Fitting the Wheelpilot
With correct preparation, the Wheelpilot can be
installed in under an hour. However, it is important that it is fitted correctly to operate to its maximum efficiency. Please read this section thor-
oughly before attempting installation.
The fixing point of the Wheelpilot is the pedestal
mount, which is fixed to the pedestal using two
band clamps. The Wheelpilot unit attaches to this
mount using two metal guide rods, which slide
into slots on either side of the clamp. Thus, no
holes need to be drilled to install the pilot, and it
can be easily and quickly removed if necessary.
The pedestal mount supplied will fit most
pedestals 100–140mm (4.0–5.5in) in diameter. Two
packing pieces are supplied for use with a standard 100mm (4.0in) pedestal (Fig 4.1). The pedestal mount has three sets of slots for the band
clamps to suit the pedestal being fitted to (Fig 4.2).
For pedestals over 140mm (5.5 in) diameter , a lar ger clamp is available as a separate accessory (part
no. PED200:BK).
The two guide rods are not fitted to the Wheelpilot
itself when supplied and will need to be attached.
As these will support any loads the Wheelpilot is
subjected to, it is important that they are securely
fitted. The ends of the rods have flats on them,
which will allow a 12mm spanner to be used to
tighten them (Fig 4.3).
1. Remove the wheel.
2. Position the pedestal mount on the front of the
pedestal. The vertical distance between the centres
of the circular slots and the centre of the wheel
shaft should be 125mm (5.0 in) and the clamp
should be exactly parallel with the wheel in both
planes (Fig 4.4).
3. The exposed section of the band clamps are
sloted through the sleeving provided which covers the clip and also prevents it form scratching
the pedestal when tightened. It is recommended
that the sleeving length is reduced to approx.
25mm (1in) shorter than the length of the band
clamps when tightened around the pedestal to
avoid fouling the slots in the pedestal mount.

Wheelpilot WP10
Note, that if the sleeving has already been fitted
to the clamps, it will need to be removed to facilitate fitting.
4. The self-adhesive neoprene pad supplied
should be attached to the inside face of the
pedestal mount. This not only increases the grip
of the pedestal mount, but also protects the
pedestal from being scratched by the mount.
5. Slide the sleeving over the band clamps and
thread the first clamp through the pedestal mount
(using slots appropriate to the pedestal), around
the pedestal and back in through the corresponding slot on the other side of the mount (Fig 4.5).
Locate the clamp in either the top or the bottom of
the slot in the pedestal mount to ensure that there
is room to fit the second clamp.
6. Tighten the band clamp as far as possible, until
the pedestal mount is held firmly in place and cannot be moved. Fit the second clamp following the
same procedure. Fit the front plate, but do not
tighten the four socket head bolts at this point.
7. Fit the Wheelpilot to the pedestal mount by
inserting the two guide rods into the slots on the
pedestal mount. Check that the Wheelpilot ring is
centralised around the wheel shaft (Fig 4.6). If
necessary, reposition the pedestal mount by
removing the pilot and the front plate and loosening the band clamp.
8. With the clutch lever disengaged, rotate the
Wheelpilot ring until the two spoke pillars are at
the top.
9. Refit the wheel, ensuring that the bottom
spoke sits between the two spoke clamps.
10. Two rubber clamps are supplied, that fit over
the toothed spoke pillars. The holes in the clamps
are offset so that by rotating them the gap between
the pillars can be increased or decreased until the
wheel spoke is held securely (Fig 4.7).
11. If necessary, move the Wheelpilot forward or
back along the guide rods until the wheel spoke
fits equally between the clamps.
12. Clip the Simrad badge onto the spoke clamps
(Fig 4.8).
13. Spin the wheel from lock to lock and check
that the Wheelpilot rotates freely and smoothly.

If there is any oscillation at any point of rotation,
this is due to the Wheelpilot being mounted
slightly off-centre. Check that the pedestal clamp
is not too low or too high, and that the pedestal
mount and the pilot are exactly parallel to the
wheel.
14. Tighten the four socket head bolts on each side
of the pedestal mount so that the guide rods are
held firmly in place. Do not overtighten.
The Wheelpilot is supplied with a clip-on sun
cover (Fig 4.9) to protect the keypad and control
unit from the elements and the effects of UV light
while the pilot is not in use.
Apart from this cover, the Wheelpilot is fully protected from the elements due to its weatherproof
design, and can be left fitted to the pedestal without requiring any additional protection.

Fig 5.10 - Wiring connections - WP10
4.2 Electrical Installation
The Wheelpilot WP10 operates from a 12v DC supply. It is designed to be permanently wired into the
vessel’s 12v supply using a two core cable. If
required, a two-pin waterproof plug and socket kit
is available as a separate accessory (part no.
SKT100).
The WP10 should be wired to the 12v power supply in accordance with Fig 4.10.
• Run the cable through the pedestal using a suitable grommet. If running the cable through the
deck, use a good quality cable gland to prevent
water ingress (Fig 4.11).
• Use a suitable gauge cable if an additional cable
run is required to link the pilot to the power supply
(see Fig 4.12).
• Connect to the vessel’s switch panel via a 10 Amp
fuse or breaker.
• Do not fit other electronic or electrical equipment
to this cable, or “tap into” the supply from a nearby cable – always wire each piece of equipment to
its own breaker in the switch panel.
• Ensure all wire ends are tinned, and any connections are well made. Poor contact will result in loss
of torque from the Wheelpilot and slower speed of
response.
If in any doubt, employ a qualified engineer to
install the equipment.

5 Appendix
5.1 Advice On Operation
The Simrad Wheelpilot, when used correctly, can maintain as good a course, on most points of sail
as a skilled helmsman, with the advantage that they never lose concentration where a human may
begin to show lapses of concentration after as little as ten minutes.
There are certain circumstances, however, where a human pilot has the advantage in being able to
anticipate events which no autopilot can sense, typically in a heavy following sea. The
following advice should improve efficiency when sailing using Wheelpilot:
1. When sailing close to the wind, it is easy to forget to trim the mainsail, allowing excessive weather helm to build up. Where a human helmsman would quickly complain, the autopilot will struggle on, and the boat will be sailed less efficiently. Whereas a human normally likes to feel some
weather helm, this is not necessary for the functioning of the Wheelpilot. Power consumption,
wear and drag will be greatly reduced, if the mainsail is freed or reefed a little sooner than normal
when sailing manually.
2. It is also advisable when sailing close hauled to set a course a few degrees free of that normally
sailed under manual control, to avoid luffing into the wind.
3. When running dead downwind, a human pilot can see visual signs warning him if the boat is
about to gybe, which the Wheelpilot cannot sense. Therefore, when under autopilot, it is advisable
not to sail as close to the gybe as you may do when sailing manually.
4. When broad reaching or running fast, particularly with quartering waves, a helmsman will
naturally apply periodic larger angles of helm than when beating or sailing slowly. This is the
equivalent of increasing rudder Gain, and it may be a good idea to adjust the Gain on the
Wheelpilot. Many people prefer to find a compromise setting which is used for all sailing, but with
practice it can be optimised for different conditions, e.g. low for motoring in a calm sea or high for
running fast. If the Gain is set too low, the boat will yaw because insufficient rudder is applied in
time; if the Gain is too high, the boat will continually overcorrect on each deviation, increasing
power consumption.
5. While the clutch is engaged, the wheel cannot be turned manually. In an emergency situation,
manual control can only be achieved by lifting the clutch lever. Do not attempt to force the wheel
while the clutch is engaged as you may damage the Wheelpilot or break the internal drive belt.
6. The Wheelpilot is a highly advanced piece of equipment – as such, it is a valuable aid to enjoyable sailing. However, it would be a mistake to become complacent. As with all electronic navigational equipment, it is an aid to navigation and should not be used as a substitute for conventional navigational practice. Remember – Maritime Law* requires that you keep a good look out at
all times.

5.2 Fault Finding
Symptom
Pilot consistently over or
under compensates when a
course error is detected
After functioning normally
course is suddenly lost and the
Wheelpilot goes into Standby
Mode.
Helm is hard over and alarm is
continuously on.
Power supply is live, but pilot
is not on.
Pilot does not hold accurate
course in auto mode
Probable Cause
* Gain setting is respectively too high
or too low.
* Steering sensitivity scaling has been
incorrectly set
* Power interrupted briefly, or low
voltage.
* Supply cable used too small.
* Intermittent connection.
* Steerage way insufficient to control
course, or sails are aback.
* Steering scaling set too high
* Wheelpilot is wired incorrectly.
* Internal fluxgate compass is being
affected by interference from nearby
magnetic influences (binnacle
compass, speakers) or metallic objects
(winches, deck hardware etc).
Remedy
* Adjust gain setting (see
section 3.3).
* Enter the correct scaling for
the vessel (see section 3.1).
* Increase size of cable.
* Check all connections.
* Charge batteries.
* Uprate batteries.
* Reset the vessel on course
and re-engage pilot
* Enter the correct scaling for
the vessel (see section 3.1).
* Check wiring of pilot
(see section 4.2).
* Check compass has been
calibrated (see section 5.3).
* Replace binnacle compass
with bulkhead compass.
* Relocate objects that are
causing interference.

Instruction manual
5.3 Auto Compass Calibration
Although the Wheelpilot’s internal compass is extremely accurate, after installation it is necessary to calibrate
the compass to compensate for any deviations caused
by objects surrounding it on board the vessel.
With the vessel motoring along slowly (2–3 knots) in
calm conditions and the Wheelpilot in Standby mode,
engage the clutch and press the Starboard key a number of times to induce a slow clockwise rotation of the
vessel. Press and hold the TACK key, followed by the
Port and Starboard keys simultaneously to enter Auto
Compass Calibration mode (Fig 5.1). The Port and Starboard LEDs will both light. Allow the vessel to turn
through a minimum of 1
1
/4turns (450º) in approximately two minutes, during which time the fluxgate compass
will automatically calibrate itself.
If the rate of turn or the boat speed is too high, the Port
LED will flash (Fig 5.2) indicating that it is necessary to
either slow the boat or decrease the angle of turn. If the
rate of turn or boat speed is too slow, the Starboard LED
will flash, indicating that it is necessary increase to
either the boat speed or the angle of turn. Ashort beep
(3 seconds) will indicate that the calibration has been
successful and the Wheelpilot will return to Standby
mode. If the calibration has been unsuccessful, after a
period of four minutes a long beep (6 seconds) will
sound. Try again, carefully following the above directions.
5.4 Adjusting Belt Tension
The belt tension is set when the Wheelpilot is assembled, however it may be necessary to adjust this during
the lifetime of the pilot.
The tension is adjusted by means of a screw situated
underneath the clutch lever (Fig 5.3). This screw is only
accessible when the lever is in the up (disengaged) position. To increase the clutch tension, turn the screw anticlockwise. To decrease the tension, turn the screw clockwise. The scale next to the screw indicates the current
tension setting. When the pointer is at the top, the
clutch is at maximum tension. Minimum tension is indicated when the pointer is at the bottom.

5.4 Spares & Accessories
The following spares and accessories are available through your local Simrad agent. Please quote
the correct part number when ordering.
5.5 Servicing
Although your Wheelpilot should seldom need servicing, for optimum performance we recommend that the belt is replaced every three or four seasons. Replacement belts are available from
your local Simrad agent, and we recommend that the belt is replaced professionally to ensure correct fitment and calibration.
The Wheelpilot will also benefit from an application of silicone or Teflon grease to the connectors
each season, and by keeping the control unit and the connector’s protective cover in place when
not in use.
5.6 Warranty
The unit is guaranteed for 24 months from date of retail sale. If it is necessary to have the unit
repaired, return it carriage prepaid to the agent in the country of purchase with a copy of the
receipted invoice showing the date of purchase. Where possible, return all the components unless
you are certain that you have located the source of the fault. If the original packing is not available,
ensure that it is well cushioned in packing; the rigours of freight handling can be very different
from the loads encountered in the marine environment for which the unit is designed.
