If a linear Rudder angle transmitter is used there should be two end- resistors, one on Black and one on Red wire from the RAT/RFU according to separate instruction, see Silva support: Autopilot Installation of the Linear rudder angle transmitter.

Hydraulics:

Check for Air in the system and bleed if needed (not valid for Silva HP 40 pumpset).

Compass transducer:

If the system has a Nexus Server, connect the Compass transducer to the Server for optimal function.

Auto-deviation:

Confirm that the Auto-deviation is good. In the Autopilot Manual § 5.5.5 you find the ”Auto CHK” , C4.

Automatic Pilot Calibration ”APC”:

Is the APC successfully performed in a speed close to the crushing speed of the boat?

Autopilot set-up group ”P”.

The APC will set the ”RUD”, ”SEA”, ”CRD”, ”ATC”, and ”RRS”. Be aware of those settings are not altered to unfavourable values.

Remote Control:

If a Nexus Remote Control is used in the system check that it is of Version 1.14 or higher to avoid risk for Err 25.

Multi Center:

The Autopilot button according to § 9 in Installation & Operation Manual for the Multi Center (P/N 21646-1) should be of momentary type, not a switch.
