Set the Navigator Gain if a navigator is fitted (see
Installation Settings earlier).
W A R N I N G Changed values are not automatically stored until you
press the AUTO key then OFF key. Therefore store the
settings as soon as it is practical and safe to do so.
It is also advised that the optimised settings are recorded, in
case they are accidentally changed at any time.
AUTOMATIC DEVIATION CORRECTION
The compass has a facility to automatically measure and
compensate for the majority of hard and soft iron deviation
found on board a vessel.
The compass sensor requires the vessel to turn
approximately 2¼ times clockwise to complete the
deviation correction. The first turn corrects for hard iron
errors, the second for soft iron errors.
It is not necessary to turn the boat at a constant rate nor
will momentarily stopping the rotation affect the deviation
correction procedure. Turning the vessel in an anticlockwise
direction during the correction procedure should be
avoided as this can lead to erroneous correction values.
The deviation correction facility is not accessible until 10
seconds after power up of the compass sensor.
Procedure Find an area of calm water where it is safe to perform slow
CLOCKWISE turns.
Press and hold down the ADJ key, on power up, for
approximately 3 seconds until the configuration message
appears.
Press the ADJ key repeatedly until the LCD displays Auto
deviation message either ‘
CLr
’ or ‘
COrr
’.
If ‘
CORR
’ is displayed it means that the autopilot already
has correction values stored. Press the < and > keys
simultaneously to reset the correction or ADJ key to re-
enter the settings menu without resetting.
