A “FAIL” indication suggest that the turn was not completed within the
guidelines or quite possibly that there is too great a magnetic influence
close to the sensor. This will require investigation before the swing
process is retried.
Now the swing is complete its important to eliminate any constant error in
heading due to the physical alignment of the sensor relative to the fore /
aft line of the boat.
This is normally checked for by using shore-based transits, once the error
is known it can be eliminated by entering the value into the system under:
SETUP
X
CALIBRATION
X
HEADING
X
SET OFFSET
VALUE
X
(Enter new value)
↵
For example, the compass was reading 320º and it should read 316º, then
the value to enter would be –4º from the current set value
Note
•
The first time the system is switched on, or after a system reset,
the Heading will alternate with CAL. This is to indicate to the
user that the compass must be calibrated. This will disappear
after the compass has been swung correctly.
