4Raymarine S1000 Autopilot
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 modesThe 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 patternsA 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 modeIf 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.
