6 E-H unit 6.5”H x 7” W x 5” D 8 lb Sensor Ball 3.6” Dia. Cable length 18’ 2 lb Remote 5”x 2.5”x 1” Cable length 18’ 1 lb Deckmount/Tach 5/8”x 2” Cable length 6’ Battery Cable Cable length 9’ Fluid 1 pt. BioSOY Oil 1 lb Supply Voltage 11.
7 x Access The Electrohydraulic Unit is the place where all the components connect together and the place where fluid is added and fluid level is checked. Leav e room for service loops in the cables and hoses. The Deckmount switch should be easy to reach with your free hand when your other hand is on the kicker tiller.
System Layout Throttle Actuator Mounts on carburetor on motor. Sensor Ball: Mount in front 1/2 of boat. GPS connection NMEA 0183 Battery 12V Deckmount On/Off switch: Mounts near kicker motor, near transom. Electrohydraulic Unit: Mount near transom. Cylinder Cylinder Mounting Bracket: Mounts on Motor lower end.
9 Locate the Electro-Hydraulic unit where it it will not be subjected to water submersion or spray from wash down. Tools You should gather the following tools before beginning installation. See throttle and cylinder supplements for any additional tools that may be needed for your application.
Mounting Hydraulic Unit 10 Step Two (Locking unit in place) Floor Mount: Set th e unit on the floor in front of screws. Slide the left side back and engage the notch between the hose fittings around the left hand screw.
Installation of the Sensor Ball Hold the mounting bracket in the desired position and drill through the holes into the mounting surface. (Be sure that the w ire coming out of the ball can exit the ball straight down.) Tap if necessary. Install and tighten the three mounting screws as shown in fig.
Step 3 (Adjusting Sensor Ball) Readjust the ball if necessary and fix it in position by tightening the thumbscrew. See Fig 9-A. Make sure that the wires from the Sensor Ball are pointing straight down out the bottom; otherwise the sensor ball will not work properly.
Installation of the Deckmount and Tach If the material you wish to mount the Deckmount switch in is less than ¼” thick: Drill a hole 15/32 Diameter perpendicular to the surface. Unscrew the bezel from the switch and leave one washer on the neck. Put the switch button, with washer, through the hole from below.
Fig. 12 Installation of the Handheld/Remote Connect the Remote cable to the ECU unit at connector number 3. Strain Relieve the cable. One place to do this is the bottom right hand side of the ECU unit. See Fig. 12. This will help protect the Remote cable from being pulled out of the connector on the ECU unit and possibly damaging unit.
15 Connect and Fill the Hydraulic System Before you start……… x The fittings in the electro hydraulic unit (Pum p unit) and the Cylinder are barbed hose fittings. It is important that you push the hose com pletely over the barbs. Use some fluid to lube the inside of hose before pushing them on.
16 Step Three Arrange the hose at the cylinder end so that none will kink and they are hanging free. Put a piece of tape on the right hose at the cylinder end to identify it. You will need to know this when it’s time to connect the hose to the cylinder.
Step Six (Fill Cylinder) You will need the motor in the down position and the cylinder fittings pointing straight up. Disconnect the rod end of the cylinder from its mount. Find the kinked piece of tubing that you removed in step one. Rem ove the tie wrap and cut the tubing in half.
Step Eight (Check hose t) Check to see that the hose is free to move back and forth with motor. Tie wrap as necessary to hold hose in place. See Fig. 18 Step Nine (Hose Clamp) Place hose clamps over hose and ttings at cylinder end. Fig. 18-a Step Ten (Top off the system) Manually turn the motor back and forth several times.
This section of this document provides you with information that will let you take advantage of your TR-1 Gold autopilots' capabilities. We have m a de every effort to minimize the pain in getting you up to speed as a user of the TR-1, however, programmable devices such as your TR- 1, are often difficult to learn to use and to program.
6. Man Overboard. The autopilot will execute a turn to the re ciprocal course and pass near the maneuver initiation point. 7. GPS steering. ( Some GPS units may not support these features .) 7a. The autopilot will steer to a waypoint or series o f waypoints.
21 Turn power on by pressing and releasing the Deckmount switch . Turn the power off by pressing and holding the switch down until the Deckmount switch light has extinguished (about four seconds). Power on is indicated by illumination of the Deckmount switch button and the STBY LED on the Hand Held.
22 You can steer to a new heading with the Straight Right Arrow and Straight Left Arrow buttons. Momentary presses of either of these buttons will cause the pilot to alter the heading by one degree per press. For example, pressing the Straight Left Arrow button five tim es will cause the heading to be changed by 5 degrees to the port.
23 GPS Steering The GPS steering functions are not guaranteed to work with all GPS systems. Each manufacturer of GPS equipment puts his own spin on how to assemble the data on the NMEA data bus. Sometimes the data on the bus will not conform to the needs of the autopilot.
24 If you press and release the GPS (Select Load) button when the autopilot is in heading hold and the GPS has an active route, the pilot will steer to the selected waypoint. If you are more than 1000 ft. off the courseline the pilot will steer directly at the waypoint and not try to remove crosstrack error.
To do an outward spiraling search from a waypoint, setup the special function buttons for search patterns. (See page 28 Selecting Special Functions) When you are near the waypoint you want to search from, select “go to” th is waypoint on your GPS.
26 The autopilot will attempt to perform any of its steering functions when the boat is backing in reverse gear. To engage the system in reverse: 1) Start from Standby. 2) Press and hold the GPS (REV) button. 3) Press and release the Auto/Stby button.
27 Heading Hold Boat Path Change Heading with Zigz ags If you program the Idle/Resume button for Zigzags (other), then when you press the Idle/Resume button the pilot will begin to zigzag about the heading you were on when you pressed the button. The zigzag angle and period are both programmable.
When you select special functions, by the methods described below, you ar e simply choosing which function is to be executed by the pilot when you pus h one of the tree special function buttons. The Idle/Resume button is programmable to provide either Idle/Resume or MOB or Zigzags (other).
29 1. Autopilot must be in Heading Hold or Standby Mode before selection process can start. (AUTO LED solid on or ST BY LE D solid on. No other LED's on.) 2. Press and release the Setup Button. The Setup LED will illum inate to indicate the system is ready to take setup comm ands (button pushes).
30 Automated Setup Codes Calibrate Compass 47 Hold Down Select Load Button, press and release Deckmount Button to start Calibration Process Load Factory Compass 49 Hold Down Select Load Button, press .
31 Navigation Function Codes Setup Action Code # Range of settings or Responses Default Navigation Gain 15 1 lowest gain, 73 highest gain 42 Navigation Trim Gain 16 1 lowest gain, 73 highest gain 49 U.
Code 35. Since the boat dynamics change with RPM the autopilot retunes itself as it sees the RPM change. Most boats will work well with the m ild setting. The easiest way to set the speed schedule is to first get tuned up and working well at low speed, th en run at high speed.
33 Your autopilot needs to be “tuned” to your boat and motor conguration. This is the most difcult part of getting your pilot running the best it can. Have patience and don’t even try to do this until you have some time on a nice calm day.
34 3. Tune the feedback gains. Start from [ Standby] mode. (The STBY light should be lit on the handheld.) • Press the [ Setup] button and press and light up code 2 (Number 2 LED on the handheld) - this is the rudder gain adjustment code.
35 4. Set North: You must do this, if the autopilot is connected to the GPS. To run a GPS course requires that the autopilot compass is in agreement with the GPS’s course estimate. You need to set North with the pilot in standby mode. Do not set North except in calm sea’s and un-accelerated conditions.
0 2 4 6 8 Heading 0 2 4 6 8 10 Time Well Tuned Response The objective of tuning is to set the gains so as to elicit a response with a shape like this that reaches the 5 degree heading in as short of a tim e interval as possible.
0 2 4 6 8 Heading 0 2 4 6 8 10 Time Too Low Too High Rudder Gain Effects The Rudder Gain Effects plot shows that too low a Rudder Gain will make the heading response slow and sloppy, if the Rudder Gain is turned down much lower the heading response will become unstable (do everything but h old heading).
