Flux Gate Compass Alignment
If a flux gate compass, such as the KVH is used, it may be necessary to
experiment with different mounting locations in order to determine the
optimum location. Ideally, the compass will function best when placed in
an evenly distributed magnetic field. This may take some trial and error
before the best spot is located.
The best way to establish the optimum location is to observe the boat
symbol and its track on the HYPACK Area Map while the vessel is
underway. Point the compass forward and move around the cabin until
the compass both physically and magnetically points forward. Begin
“turning” maneuvers with the vessel and verify that the boat symbol on the
screen tracks correctly.
