[CA] [CA11] SPX-30/ST6002 No Rudder Reference after SW Update

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Evan,

Following a software update to an autopilot course computer, it is recommended that a System Reset within the control head's Dealer Calibration menu be commanded and that dockside and seatrial calibrations then be executed again. Please additionally verify that the ST6002 has been connected directly to the SPX30's SeaTalk port rather than to a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. Finally, as you have indicate, the rudder angle must be less than 30 degrees when the autopilot is powered ON and that failure to do so will result in the autopilot not recognizing the presence of the rudder reference transducer. Should the problem persist after have addressed the items which have been specified within this response, then it would be recommended that the autopilot course computer be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench tested/serviced.
