1.15Bearing Reference

Bearings can be displayed in true or magnetic bearing. True bearing is a bearing measured using true North as the reference direction, and it is calculated by the formula True Bearing = Magnetic Bearing +Magnetic Deviation (Variation).

Magnetic bearings are measured with magnetic north as the reference direction.

Magnetic bearing is calculated by adding true bearing to RD-30-stored magnetic variation. ???M??? appears near a bearing readout when magnetic bearings are used.

4.Choose MAGNETIC or TRUE as appropriate and then press the [ENT] key.

5.Press the [MENU] key twice to close the menu.

1.16Magnetic Variation

The location of the magnetic north pole is different from the geographical north pole. This causes a difference between the true and magnetic north direction. This difference is called magnetic variation, and varies with respect to the observation point on earth. Your unit is preprogrammed with all the earth's magnetic variation. However, you may wish to enter variation manually to refine accuracy. To use magnetic variation, ???BRG READ??? on the SYS SETUP menu must be set to ???MAGNETIC.???

1.17Heading Sensor PG-1000, C-2000 Setup

Set up the heading sensor PG1000, C-2000 on the HDG SETUP menu, with the heading sensor connected to the AUX port. Note that no data is transmitted from the IN/OUT port when the HDG SETUP menu is displayed.

Calibration

Calibrate the heading sensor against magnetic field distortion aboard the boat as below. Do not turn off the power during the calibration.

1.Find a calm and clear area without current, wind, swell or waves.

2.Steer the boat clockwise or counterclockwise in a circular course. Take about two minutes to complete the circle (at about 3 kt). While turning the boat, go to step 3.

2 minutes for a circle (at about 3 kt)

Course to follow for calibration

Notes: Speed higher than 3 kt may result in calibration error.

3.Press the [MENU] key once or twice to open the menu.

4.Choose HDG SETUP and then press the [MENU] key. (It may take several seconds before the HDG SETUP menu appears.)

ARE YOU SURE ?

YES NO

6.Choose YES and then press the [ENT] key. The display shows ???CALIBRATION????? during calibration. (To cancel calibration, press the [MENU] key. You cannot cancel calibration except when SAMPLING is showing ????????.)

7.Continue turning the boat in a circle until calibration results, NG (No Good) or OK, appear on the display. This takes about 3-5 circles with the PG-1000 or 2-3 circles with the C-2000. If the calibration was successful, OK appears as the results.

8.The display then shows ???PUSH ENT KEY.??? Push the [ENT] key to return to the HDG SETUP menu.

Note: If the results were unsuccessful, NG appears as the results. In this case, press the [MENU] key or the [ENT] key to return to the HDG SETUP menu. Redo the calibration referring to the installation manual for the heading sensor.

9.If you do not need to align heading or enter a damping factor (C-2000), press the [MENU] key twice to close the menu. To align heading, go to step 10. To enter damping factor, go to step 18.

1. OPERATION

Offset

If there is a difference between sensor bearing and actual bearing, enter it as below. For example, if the sensor shows 70?? and the actual bearing is 75??, enter +5(??).

10.Choose OFFSET and press the [ENT] key.

11.Use ??? or ??? to choose minus or plus respectively, whichever is appropriate.

12.Press ??? to shift the cursor one place.

13.Use ??? or ??? to enter appropriate value.

14.Press ??? to shift the cursor one place.

15.Use ??? or ??? to enter appropriate value.

16.Press the [ENT] key.

17.Press the [MENU] key twice to finish, or go to step 15 to enter damping factor (C-2000).

Damping (C-2000)

Damping determines how sensitively the sensor responds to change of ship???s heading. Use a small value for faster response.???1??? is the default setting. Note that damping value must be received from the C-2000 to display the item DAMPING on the HDG SETUP menu.
