Hi guys.
I'm wondering if anyone here has had a similar problem to this.

I have a ST7002 auto pilot coupled to an S2G Smartpilot computer.
When I am sailing the unit performs perfectly.
When I am motoring with the unit in "auto" or "track" mode, I keep getting Low battery alarms.

I have checked the power supply and the voltage is fine. There have been no new modifications done that could have interfered with it. Up until very recently, the unit has performed faultlessly.

When motoring, the alarm activates in "auto" or "track" mode, but the unit appears to control as though there is nothing wrong. I can silence the alarm by either going back to standby mode or pressing +/-10 deg when in "auto"mode. Then 15 - 20 secs later the alarm faults again.

Very frustrating!

Hi NowandZen,
Just a quick response - I seem to recall this is a Raymarine software problem.
Some time ago, came across a lot of discussion on this while I was searching for answers on another Raymarine problem.
Try the Raymarine site as well.
regards,
allan

Thanks Allan.
I will have another look at the Raymarine Forum.
Cheers!
