Operation of Autopilot functions through a C90W

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

A C90W Multi Function Display cannot be used as the sole control head for a SeaTalk Autopilot such as an S2G system and it cannot be used to calibrate or control the Autopilot.

The C90W has a limited function for Autopilot control, limited to basic operation such as AUTO or STANDBY as well as course changes, so, unlike the current generation of Raymarine Multi Function Displays and Autopilots, it cannot be used as a sole controller for the autopilot.

There must be a conventional ST6000 style control unit (ST6001, ST6002, ST7001, ST7002) in the SeaTalk system connected directly to the S2G computer using SeaTalk, to be able to access the full range of functions as well as to access the extensive User levels of calibration in addition to the Dockside, SeaTrial and Dealet levels of calibration available.

In addition to the above, the C90W would not be able to be used to calibrate the Autopilot.

It would be possible to use a P70s or P70Rs control unit, click here for more details
