You will need to turn your vessel in slow circles
while the system automatically makes adjustments to account for compass
deviation. Each 360-degree circle should take no less than two minutes,
and you should complete at least two circles.
- Start moving vessel in slow even circles, then press START.
- Keep speed to below 2 knots. Watch the display to ensure
your turn rate is not too fast. If the message ‘Slow Down’ is displayed
reduce your rate of turn, this can be achieved by slowing down and
/ or steering in a wider circle.
If a 'Slow Down' message is displayed the current
circle will have to be repeated.
- When the compass has been calibrated, a message will be
displayed showing the detected deviation. If this is more than 15
degrees you will need to abort the calibration process and re-site
the compass further away from metal items, then repeat the calibration
process. If you still find a deviation of more than 15 degrees, contact
your Raymarine dealer for advice. If the deviation is within acceptable
limits, press CONTINUE.
You can cancel Seatrial calibration at any time by pressing STANDBY.
