Hi, I’m having problems with my st6002. It will work fine for awhile and then displays “ release” after a while. Pressing the auto button turns the autopilot back on and it works fine for another 20 mins or so. The manual suggests a rudder sensor fault . Our boat runs ips 500 drives. Can this really be a sensory fault if it works perfectly for a period of time ?

HI Tony44gt

Thankyou for your enquiry.

The Alarm RELEASE implies the pilot is receiving corrupted Rudder angle data, what gateway is being used between the IPS drives and the Autopilot computer?

There is likely a fault in this gateway.
Thanks
