second. The display will show the amount of turn
completed so far. Continue to turn the boat until
the display shows PASS or FAIL. If FAIL is
displayed the compass calibration should be re-
started.
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 Hercules
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.
Notes
• 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.
• 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.
3.5.4 Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass Calibration
Procedure
1. Check for any magnetic devices placed near the
compass, especially ones that are out of their
normal places.
2. On a calm day select a stretch of open water with
little traffic (so you will not have to take avoiding
action which would ruin the calibration). The
flatter the water and the less the wind the easier it
will be to meet the conditions for calibration.
