3.4.4 Halcyon 2000 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.
(3) Check for any large steel structures nearby, that may cause
additional, erratic deviations.
(4) Scroll to the NAVIGATE menu and select COMP CAL on the
top half of the display. The display shows OFF.
(5) Press Scroll Down until the lower text shows CALBRATE
flashing.
(6) Press scroll down until the lower text shows CALIBRATE,
press the ENTER key, and scroll down to CAL VAL 1, press enter
and START will be displayed with ‘0’ as a default value.
(7) Press the Enter key once and the ‘0’ starts to flash. Use the
Scroll Up key to change the value to ‘1’.
(8) Press the Enter key. The display now shows 000
°
.
(9) At a speed not exceeding five knots, turn the boat through 360
°
at a rate not greater than 2-3
°
per second. The display will show the
amount of turn completed so far. Continue to turn the boat until the
display shows PASS or FAIL.
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.
