Footnote:

1. For best results, the tilt experienced during calibration should match that experienced

in service. For example, if the TCM is restrained to a level plane in service, then
calibration should be

in a plane, where “max. positive” and “max. negative” are 0°.

Limited Tilt Range Calibration

A Limited Tilt Range Calibration is recommended when 45

° of tilt isn’t feasible, but >5°

of tilt is possible. It provides both hard-iron and softiron distortion correction. The

recommended 12 point calibration pattern given below is a series of 3 circles of evenly

spaced points, with as much tilt variation as expected during use.
