Keel angle
Keel Angle indicates the current axial position of a canting keel.
Calibration of Keel Angle.
The recommended procedure is as follows, this procedure is designed to display “0.0” when
the keel is central with negative values displayed on the port side. In this example the
maximum angle attainable by the keel is 40º.
If Keel Angle is not available in the menu structure it is necessary to determine the linear
input in use and confi gure it correctly - Refer to ‘Installation Information’.
Position the keel centrally, set POINT 1 to be 0.0, the voltage is automatically recorded and
can be noted from VOLTS 1 if required. Position the keel at its maximum travel to starboard,
set POINT 2 to be a value equal to the angle of the keel (in this example 40.0), the voltage is
automatically recorded and can be noted from VOLTS 2 if required.

Distance to layline
This function displays the distance of both left and right-hand laylines by alternating the
display between the two. An P or S is shown in the left hand digits to signify Port or Starboard
laylines respectively
