Activate Quick Settling
The “Quick Settling” function reduces the time the Standard 22 gyro compass requires to
settle from approx. 4 hours to approx. 1 hour.
The most recent heading is saved when the gyro compass is switch off. When it is
switched on the compass uses this value to make a default setting so that the settling time
is reduced.
CAUTION
The quick settling function can only be used if the ship‘s heading has
not been changed between switching off and switching back on.
The quick settling function cannot be used:
-
For first setting into operation
-
If the ship’s position has been changed between switching off
and switching on again.
-
If the temperature of the gyro supporting liquid is more than
30
°
C
Within the first 3 minutes after switching on the compass it is possible to activate the quick
settling function at the operator unit.
By activating the quick settling the heating stage and the settling stage are reduced to 1
hour (in total). After this time a usable heading information is displayed (for the accuracy
of the heading information, see manual of Standard 22).
CAUTION
Time to activate this function is only for 3 minutes after switching on.
