Nobeltec InSight Radar (IR2)
Installer’s Guide
simplifies the radar alignment process.
Remember : aligning the radar with a chart is not a perfect
science. Remember that a chart is a hydrographers artistic view
of the coastline and surrounding navigable information. A radar
on the other hand is a real depiction of what is being returned
and interpreted by the radar. You should expect that there will be
some level of disparity between the chart and the radar.
Adjusting the Compass Master Heading Correction
This process allows you to align the digital compass with the vessel center line. This
is normally a one-time process that corrects the entire 360° equally.
To align the compass determine the amount of offset and enter it into the Compass
Heading Correction screen.
To do this, Open the Nobeltec software and a chart window where you can see the
icon that represents the boat. Right click on the boat and choose the option titled:
Properties.
Once the Boat properties window is open, the General tab shows how the compass
bearings are displayed (True or Magnetic) along with the magnetic variation at
the boat location. Click on the Deviation button to open the Compass Heading
Corrections dialog.
