9.1

Compass heading 0° reference direction

In some cases it is necessary to know the orientation of the sensor’s axes. This can be necessary when the sensor is

placed in a fixed position with a fixed orientation (for example in a frame on the sea floor) where the magnetic influence

by an object nearby gives an erroneous heading measurement. In this case the fixed heading input can be enabled, but

to set the correct fixed heading the 0° reference has to be known. On surface buoys made of iron/steel there can also

be problems related to magnetic influence from the buoy structure/body. This can be improved by using an external

compass (parameter input via SeaGuardII or SmartGuard Datalogger) placed away on a mast arm which gives a more

correct compass heading to the sensor. In this case the misalignment/offset between the external compass and the

axes on the DCPS has to be known.

9.1.1

Transducer 1 is 0° reference

When transducer 1 on the sensor is orientated towards magnetic North, the compass heading is 0°. One method is to

measure in which direction transducer 1 is pointing. Position of transducer 1 is shown in

Figure 9-1

. Moving transducer

1 clockwise gives an increasing heading

•

Find direction of magnetic north.

•

Find x-axis on DCPS, axis with transducer 1 and 3

(opposite side on same axis).

•

If a fixed and non-moving application, align x-axis

and transducer 1 towards correct magnetic north.

Alternatively measure the angle clockwise from

magnetic north to x-axis transducer 1 and set the

fixed heading equal to this value (degrees).

•

If used on a buoy with external compass input, align

the x-axis transducer 1 in the same direction as the

north mark on the compass. Alternatively, try to

measure the clockwise angle from the north mark (0

degree) on the external compass to the x-axis

transducer1 on the DCPS. Set the heading

alignment offset equal to this measured angle (input

parameter heading see

chapter 3.5.9

. Also

remember to select the external compass as

heading input to the DCPS.

Figure 9-1 Orientation transducer 1

NOTE: To check the value measured by the tilt and heading sensor refer to chapter 4.2. Viewing incoming data

in real-time.

The same procedure can be used if the DCPS is orientated upside-down.
