12.6 Display calibration step by step (Example)
On a vessel equipped with double rudder, we have replaced a faulty XDi192D in their engine control room with a
brand new service unit. After normal setup both indicators are again running as they should, but the high
temperature in the ECR panel and the fact that the old indicators has been operating constantly at max backlight
for years, has aged the backlight LED’s so that the white background on the old display appears to be more blue
than the new unit with a warm white backlight, as you can see in the pictures below:
PORT RUDDER
STBD RUDDER
You shall select 100% backlight and the day design (white background) on both XDi indicators.
The next task is now to calibrate the colour and intensity of the display on the new STBD indicator.
IMPORTANT:
When you make the calibration you must look at the indicators from the position where the system is
normally operated, this is because the viewing angle has an impact on the display colours.
1) On the XDi showing STBD RUDDER, enter the “USER” menu and open “DIMMER SETUP” and then “Display
calibration” (as described in the previous section):

STBD RUDDER
2) Now highlight the blue arrows with the frame using “SEL” (select) button:
3) Push the
˄ button to increase the blue colour (by reducing the red and green)
