The automatic compensation runs. Continue the circular route until the
display indicates “ --- “.
Now start another circular route in the opposite sense. Push the button
until the display indicates „
CAL2
“.
Continue the circular route until the compensation is automatically en-
ded. After successful compensation the desired course is indicated
(267° or 270° in the example).
For your own safety you should verify the indication by several true ob-
servations on various courses (north, east, south, west). Differences
between compass indication and true observation must be corrected by
adjustment of the compass sensor position (see page 33).
The display shows „
FAIL
“ in the case of a failure of the automatic com-
pass compensation, or if the compass compensation could not be finis-
hed.
In this case exit the failed compensation by switching the power supply
off. The pointer returns to its normal operating mode when the power is
switched on again. Repeat the automatic compensation.
The following factors may cause a failure of the automatic compensati-
on:
-
Excessive speed during the automatic compensation
-
Inadequate installation of the sensor (see page 36)
-
Mobile phones or radiophones were used during the compensa-
tion
-
Influence of magnetic disturbances (bridges, pile walls, etc.)
or magnetic objects near the sensor.
