Narrative:
On departure from runway 24 at teb I had failed to set the initial altitude in the altitude selector at 1500 ft. Instead I had 2000 ft selected. Upon passing 1000 ft I realized the mistake and reselected the altitude selector to 1500 ft. Apparently that didn't give the autopilot system time to recognize the change and as a result 1500 ft was not captured. Upon passing 1600 ft I disconnected the autopilot and manually descended the aircraft back to 1500 ft but only after reaching an altitude of 1800 ft before that could occur.
