Magnetic Compass Calibration
Ideally, the magnetic heading displayed at the NAVIGAT X Mk 2 would exactly
match the indication of the steering magnetic compass (at a mag. var. of 0.0°).
In practice, deviations will occur between the steering magnetic compass'
heading and the heading data transmitted by an electronic magnetic compass.
The gyrocompass system will automatically correct these deviations if a cali-
bration table has been stored and calibration is activated in the User Setup.
To determine magnetic heading correction values:
Caution
The magnetic compass used as the calibration reference must be properly in-
stalled and adjusted.
The calibration procedure should be carried out in calm seas only.
1)
Check that calibration is set to „OFF“ in the User Setup / Mag. C. Cal. Table.
2)
Check that the magnetic variation is set to 0.0° in the Manual Settings
menu.
3)
Select a manual steering mode.
4)
Commence a continuous, slow and steady turn. The vessel must turn
through one full circle at least.
5)
While the vessel is turning, compare the indication on the steering mag-
netic compass with the magnetic heading values shown on the gyrocom-
pass' display. For every 10° of steering magnetic compass heading (0°, 10°,
... , 350°), note the corresponding display value.
6)
Enter the observed dis-
play values in the mag-
netic compass calibra-
tion table at the back of
this manual.
7)
Calculate the required
correction value for
each heading.
The correction value is
the offset which must
be applied to a given
display value in order to
obtain the actual mag-
netic heading.
Example:
The actual magnetic
heading is 0°.
The magnetic heading
display value is 0,8°.
The required correction
value is thus -0,8°.
