Notes
1. The compass calibration swing may be aborted at any time. To
do this, press the Enter key once. Next, using the Scroll Down
key change the value from ‘1’ to ‘0’, and then press Enter to
store. The display will now show OFF.
2. The first time the system is switched on, or after a system reset,
the Heading will alternate with CAL. This is to indicate to the
user that the compass must be calibrated. This will disappear
after the compass has been calibrated.
(10) Eliminate any constant error in heading. These are
normally checked for by using shore-based transits, once
the error is known it can be eliminated by entering the
value into the HS 2000 under:
NAVIGATE ? HEADING, CALBRATE ? CAL VAL1
For example, the compass was reading 320 degrees and it should
read 316, then the value to enter would be -4.
