Compass calibration
The compass calibration procedures are:
•
Swinging the compass.
•
Aligning the compass.
Swinging the compass
The magnetic deviation correction procedure (commonly called “swinging the
compass”) involves turning your boat in slow circles so the autopilot can automatically
determine the deviation and apply any correction required. The correction procedure
reduces deviation errors to a few degrees.
As magnetic deviation can cause significant compass errors on your boat, you
MUST
complete the compass swing before any other seatrial procedure.
To swing the compass, ensure the
Swing compass
page is displayed, then when you
are ready to turn the boat:
1. Press
OK
and begin to SLOWLY turn the boat
in circles (keeping the boat’s speed below
2 knots).
•
Take at least 2 minutes to complete each
360°.
•
Complete at least two circles.
If you turn the boat too quickly, the display will
show a
Slow down
message. If this occurs,
apply less helm to turn in a larger circle.
2. When calibration is complete, a message will be displayed showing the detected
deviation. If deviation is more than 5 degrees:
i.
Stop the calibration process
ii. Re-site the compass away from metal items
