(DG) New Spx10 calibration/setup

[jono63812]

Hi, i have just upgraded my autopilot and purchased a used raymarine smartpilot x10, as well as a st6002 control head. These are both second hand and from seperate people (never used together), is it recomended to do a factory reset of them and recalibrate them from scratch. The manuals say this is not recomended without advise from raymarine, but i guess they need fully setting up for my boat. Thanks for your help. Simon

Hi jono63812
thank you for your enquiry.

The SPX versions of Autopilots have a RESET option in the calibration, there is no problem using this, just remember that it will reset everything in the pilot to the default values that are preset when the unit leaves the factory. So you will need to set up everything, vessel type, drive type, rudder limits etc. etc . . . . , it is not difficult, but just take your time and be methodical.
