Calibrating the compass
Note: This section does not apply if you have connected an NMEA
compass to your autopilot system. Refer to the handbook supplied
with the NMEA compass for information about calibration.
Depending on your boat type, deviating magnetic fields can cause
significant compass errors. The correction procedure reduces these
errors to a few degrees, so you MUST perform this procedure as the
first item in your initial seatrial. The autopilot will then automatically
correct the fluxgate compass.
CAUTION:
If you fail to complete the deviation correction, your autopilot’s
performance will be impaired on some compass headings.
The deviation correction procedure (swinging the compass) involves
turning your boat in slow circles so the autopilot can determine the
deviation and calculate any correction required. You must carry out
this procedure in calm conditions and preferably on flat water.
