Checking the wind instrument interface

If you have connected the tiller pilot to a wind instrument, check the data link as follows:

1.Press standby and auto together.

2.The tiller pilot should display a ‘W’ followed by the locked heading.

D3270-2

If the display continues to show a flashing ‘C’ and the current heading, the tiller pilot is not receiving any wind data. The most likely reason is a cabling error – either open circuit, short circuit or wires reversed.

Checking the SeaTalk interface

If you have linked the tiller pilot to other instruments or control units via SeaTalk, check the link as follows:

1.Press standby.

D3271-2
