Safety
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of
your vessel. Your TR-1 Autopilot is a tool that will enhance
your capability to operate your boat and catch fish. It does
not relieve you from the responsibility for safe operation
of your vessel. You must avoid hazards to navigation and
never leave the helm unattended.
In case of autopilot pump failure or leakage, shut the valves located
on the front of the manifold see page 15.

Mounting Considerations, Protection, Hydraulic Connections, Magnetic Environment, System Maintenance Pump Unit: This pump unit is designed for cylinder or cylinders equilivant to 10 - 25 cubic inches only. 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 lengthen or splice the #5 wire or the orange and black power wires. Do not use this pump with an unbalanced cylinder. Deckmount: The deckm

It is recommended that before connecting the hydraulic lines to the pumpset, ensure all the hydraulic lines in the steering system have been flushed and that the hydraulic oil is free of any contamination, which may enter the pumpset or Shadow Drive valve and cause it to fail. Air in the hydraulic system will cause the autopilot not to function properly. It’s important to bleed the system thoroughly. Follow the steering manufacturers instructions on bleeding procedures before proceeding wit

Installation of Compass Ball The Compass Ball connects to #4 on the ECU. The Compass needs to be mounted in the front 1/2 of the boat. The Compass ball contains a fl uxgate compass which is sensitive to magnetic disturbances, be aware of what is around it before mounting it permanently. Keep such items as, radio speakers, anchors, air ride seats, windshield wiper motors, tool boxes, fi re extinguisher, and the autopilot pump motor at least 24” away from the Compass Ball.

To ECU #4 Connector 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 29. The Autopilot will accept NMEA input from two GPS units and transmit NMEA to one receiving device. Only one of the GPS inputs is used for steering control at a time. Selection of the controlling GPS is made through the NMEA source selection [code 34] (see pages 33-35 for explanat

Non-Compliant NMEA 0183 Devices 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. Any device that requires a signal connection to ships ground is not in compliance with the standard. The installer needs to confirm that connections to non-compliant de
