8 9 NOTE: Before proceeding with the installation, read these instructions thor oughly . TR-1 Autopilots cannot accept r esponsibility for installations wher e instructions have not been followed, where substitute parts have been used, or where modications have been made to our pr oducts.
10 1 1 Section I Installation Overview and Check List Please read all installation instructions befor e proceeding with the install! The TR-1 Gladiator is designed and manufactured to meet the harsh marine environment. However , no electronics can perform as intended unless installed, setup and maintained properly .
10 1 1 TR-1 Gladiator Specications Pump Set 10.75” L x 4.625” x 4.75” Ignition Protected ECU 6.5” H x 7” W x 2” D Compass Ball 3.6”Diameter Cable Length 20’ HH/Remote 5” x 2.5 x 1” Cable Length 20’ Deckmount/On-Off 5/8” x 2.
12 13 Pump Unit: The Pump unit will need to be mounted within at least 20” of the ECU . It will need to be mounted in a horizontal position to a solid surface. Do not mount the pump vertical with the pump end down, air gets trapped in the pump head end and it will not work correctly .
12 13 Protection Locate the Pump Unit, the ECU and the Compass Ball in a place where they will not be submerged or exposed to wash down. Spray the installed components with a protective corrosion prohibitive like Bo-Shield or Corrosion X, etc.

14 15 Pump Unit: The Pump unit will need to be mounted within 20” of the ECU . W e reccommend that it be mounted in a horizontal position, preferably oor mounted to a solid surface.
16 17 Return or Compensating line: See Fig. 2. or Fig. 3 . Y ou will need to add the section of hose from the Return or compensating hose line on the back of your helm to the Return connection on the hydraulic pump motor . Note: On the black manifold (where the hoses connect) on the front of the pump is also a shut off valve.
16 17 Note: If you hang the mounting bracket upside down, be sure to run the cable through the capture cage. See Fig. 15 Fig. 14 The Compass Ball connects to #4 on the ECU.
18 19 Step Thr ee: Adjusting Compass Ball Readjust the ball if necessary and x it in position by tightening the thumbscrew . See Fig.16. Make sur e the that the wir es from the Compass Ball ar e pointing straight down, out the bottom; (toward the water) otherwise the Compass Ball will not work properly .
18 19 E lectronic Control Unit (ECU) : The ECU will need to be mounted within 20” of the pump unit. (Wire length only allows for 20” and cannot be lengthened) Most all components in the system connect to this unit, so considerations will need to be made due to cable access and lengths.
20 21 NMEA 0183 Connections The Autopilot does not need to connect to a GPS for the autopilot to work, but if you want to use waypoint steering you must connect to a GPS and set North see page 32. The Autopilot will accept NMEA input from two GPS units and transmit NMEA to one receiving device.
20 21 The TR-1 Autopilot is designed in conformance with the NMEA 0183 standard. The TR-1 will communicate reliably and safely when connected to other devices that meet this standard with the normal wire connections. Some manufacturers imply that they conform to the standard when in fact they do not.
22 23 The shadow drive valve must be mounted in a level horizontal position using the cable ties & mounts with screws included in installation pack It should be mounted in-line between the helm and the hydraulic pump and motor . It must be mounted lower than the helm, but higher than the pump.

24 25 The electrical connections for the warning horn are made at the compass ball. The Black ( - ) and Red (+ ) wire on the warning horn connect to the Blue (- ) and Orange ( + ) coming from the Compass Ball. Mount the warning horn using the cable tie and mount with screw included in your installation kit.
24 25 If the material you wish to mount the Deckmount switch in is less than ” thick: Drill a hole 15/32” diameter , and perpendicular to the surface. Unscrew the waterproof bezel. Use the washers on the neck of switch to take up excess space. Put the switch button, with washer , through the hole from back side, see Fig.
26 27 Corded Mount: Different options are available. TR-1 has an optional clip than can be purchased separately , Fig. 29. Fig. 29 Flush Mount: Remove the back cover of handheld. Using the back of the handheld as a guide drill 2 1/4” holes into your dash.
26 27 T ach Sensor Cables: The tachometry connection is a very intricate part of the Gladiator and must always be connected . In most cases this can be simply done behind the dashboard at the tachometer display or just before the display .

28 29 Connections to the battery should be made last. Connect the ground side rst. Connect the black (-) wire to the negative (-) side of the battery rst.
30 31 Section II Dockside Setup and Sea T rial Setup of Autopilot Y our autopilot needs to be setup and tuned to your boat dynamics and motor conguration.
30 31 Sea T rial Setup: Steps 10-15 will need to be performed on open water , fr ee of obstacles. 10. Calibrate your compass. The autopilot compass is made with a uxgate. Like all compass installations, uxgate installations are susceptible to local magnetic disturbances that will cause erroneous heading outputs.
32 33 1 1. Restart the autopilot by pressing and releasing the Deckmount On/Off switch. 12. Autotune. The autopilot’ s autotune function can really simplify the problem of adjusting the feedback gains. The autotuner will adjust the gains well enough that you may not need to do any additional adjustments at all.
32 33 14. Set North. This needs to be done if any GPS or radar overlay functions are going to be used. T o run a GPS course requires that the autopilot compass is in agreement with the GPS’ s magnetic map. Y ou need to set North with the pilot in standby mode.
34 35 15. Fine T uning. (Optional) If autotune did a pretty good job but you feel that the dead idle response of the pilot is a bit “twitchy”, try to eliminate the twitch by increasing the Low RPM Limit [ Code 357 ] to a few hundred RPM more than your dead idle RPM.
34 35 Section III T rouble Shooting Guide Autopilot does not hold heading. 1. Did you calibrate the compass? a. Calibration must be done for the autopilot to work correctly . See pages 30 2. Has some kind of magnetic interference been introduced within 24” of the Compass? 3.
