RSW-Series wind transducer internal compass calibration

The RSW-Series wind transducer’s internal compass needs to compensate for local and the Earth’s magnetic fields. This is achieved using an automatic process known as linearization.

Initial linearization

When the RSW-Series wind transducer is first installed and powered-up (or after a factory reset or compass reset) the linearization process will start automatically.

Linearization requires no user input.

The time it takes to complete the linearization will vary according to the characteristics of the vessel, the installation environment and the levels of magnetic interference.

You can speed-up the linearization process by completing full 360° turns at a speed of between 3 and 15 knots.

After the initial linearization has completed, the RSW-Series wind transducer will continue to monitor and adapt its calibration to ensure optimum performance in current conditions.
