FAULT LOCATION
ALL OUTPUTS DEFECTIVE
Ensure that the ship's supply is connected to the compass. A voltage of between 10V and 30V should
be present between pin 3 with the orange conductor (+ve) and pin 2 with the black conductor (—ve) of
cable 135-0A-113 at the 18-way connector. Whilst operating correctly the Super Halcyon 3 emits a
quiet high-pitched audible tone.
All outputs are protected against accidental short circuit. In the event of a short circuit, the compass
switches off automatically. To return to normal operation, first identify and rectify the short circuit,
switch off the supply for a few seconds and then switch on the power again.
If heading rotates in wrong direction, reverse any two phases. The compass will step from 0° to
current heading at power on.
If problems persist, the most practicable test is to substitute with known operational units until the
defective unit is identified. Repairs and investigations within the compass are to be undertaken by an
authorised B&G agent only.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
For problems associated with the digital outputs, check that the compass has been configured to the
output you require. The output configuration that is set at the factory is marked on a label on the
compass case. Consult your dealer for details. (Also refer to Para 6.1).
