LD900 and INS 

Commissioning  Guide 

Operation 

The successful configuration of INS can be determined by checking the LD900 MMI 

Status

 page and, if used, 

within th

Quantum

 main page. 

INS Status (LD900 MMI) 

The LD900 INS status can be viewed on the MMI by pressing the home button.  

Before configuration, the INS Icon will be Grey and once configured this will change from Grey to Amber. Once 
an INS solution is calculated the icon will turn Green and once there has been significant vessel motion an 

INS Aided

’ notification will appear, confirming a blended GNSS and INS solution. If there is a problem with 

either the configuration or the hardware, then the status of the INS Icon will be Red. The INS transition 
sequence is illustrated below:

Selecting the INS status with the cursor and presenting tick will reveal additional details. Once the INS solution 
is operational the GNSS heading will closely match the INS heading.
