Thank you for purchasing another quality product from TR-1 Autopilots. TR-1 is confident that you will

find this piece of electronic equipment will enhance your autopilot’s ability to make your boating experience

safer and more enjoyable.

Thank You

“The Integrator” AD10 Gateway provides the ability to interface with (Furuno) radars/chartplotters that

utilize the AD10 data format. The Integrator will allow the owner of a TR-1 Gladiator Autopilot to directly

interface with radars/chartplotters and utilize the MARPA functions without the expense of purchasing an

additional heading sensor with AD10 data output.

The Integrator AD10 Gateway requires input from an accurate stable source of heading data such as the TR-1

Gladiator Autopilot.

Summary

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.

You must always be prepared to promptly regain manual control of your boat. The autopilot can fail and hard over.

Learn to operate your autopilot on calm and hazard free open water.

In case the autopilot becomes inoperable, remove the in line fuse from the battery power cable.

If available, always use the engine kill lanyard when operating your boat.

Use caution when operating the autopilot at high speeds near hazards in the water, such as docks, pilings or other boats.

Safety

Before Starting Installation

Study this manual and the other manuals provided with your autopilot carefully, and familiarize yourself

with all of the components and their intended or required mounting locations. Ensure there is adequate

space available for installation before cutting or drilling holes. Take extreme care when cutting and drilling,

to avoid the possibility of damaging other components in the boat, and avoid possible personal injury. Be

sure to follow the instructions carefully and thoroughly. Nautamatic Marine Systems, Inc. cannot accept

responsibility for installations where the instructions have not been followed, where substitute parts have

been used, or modifications have been made to our products.
