Override Compass Checkbox
The Compass is pre-calibrated by a professional installer at the time of system installation and
or come pre-calibrated from the compass manufacturer.
A number of factors can contribute to the iNetVu
®
compass to produce an incorrect reading
such as being parked in close proximity to a large metallic object. Should the compass heading
be inaccurate by more than 20 degrees, you may need to re-calibrate or Restore it (Mount
Dependent) or
select “Override Compass” option. Ensure that you are using a reliable alternate
source to acquire the correct direction, otherwise overriding compass will suffice for incorrect
compass reading.
Direction
The direction the front of the Mobile Platform is rotated in reference to True North. In order to
override the compass, the user must know where true north is located to enter the direction.
After enabling Override Compass
, you may enter the vehicle’s direction as indicated on your
alternate compass. Keep in mind that the base of the iNetVu
®
Mobile Platform is oriented to the
front of your vehicle (back of reflector and front of vehicle face the same direction) refer to
orientation figures in this document. When taking the direction using the alternate compass,
take the direction of your reading while facing the front of the vehicle, and use this orientation for
the
Vehicle Direction
field.

Beacon Freq (MHz)
This field represents the frequency that the Optional Beacon Receiver is programmed for. The
user may change this frequency to whatever Beacon is required for the target satellite. 64
configurable Beacon frequency maybe configured with 64 Beam ID, thus providing the user 64
target satellites to choose from. If the iNetVu
®
Beacon Receiver is not used, this field can be
ignored.

The 7710 controller software interfaces give the user flexibility to set the power level of the
