64 <strong>ST6001</strong>+ Autopilot Control Unit - Owner’s Handbook<br />
Calibrating the compass<br />
Note: This section does not apply if you have connected an NMEA<br />
compass to your autopilot system. Refer to the handbook supplied<br />
with the NMEA compass for information about calibration.<br />
Depending on your boat type, deviating magnetic fields can cause<br />
significant compass errors. The correction procedure reduces these<br />
errors to a few degrees, so you MUST perform this procedure as the<br />
first item in your initial seatrial. The autopilot will then automatically<br />
correct the fluxgate compass.<br />
6 Commissioning the Autopilot<br />
CAUTION:<br />
If you fail to complete the deviation correction, your autopilot’s<br />
performance will be impaired on some compass headings.<br />
The deviation correction procedure (swinging the compass) involves<br />
turning your boat in slow circles so the autopilot can determine the<br />
deviation and calculate any correction required. You must carry out<br />
this procedure in calm conditions and preferably on flat water.<br />
Automatic compass deviation correction<br />
1. With the pilot in Standby mode, enter Seatrial Calibration as<br />
follows (see the following illustration):<br />
• press and hold the standby key for two seconds to enter<br />
Calibration mode<br />
• when you see the DISPLAY CAL screen, press the disp key until<br />
you see the SEATRIAL CAL screen<br />
• press the auto key to enter Seatrial Calibration<br />
Note: If you cannot access SeaTrial Calibration, you need to turn off<br />
the calibration lock in Dealer Setup (see page 88).<br />
2. You should see the SWING COMPASS screen when you first enter<br />
Seatrial Calibration. (If not, use the disp key to page through the<br />
Seatrial Calibration items until you see SWING COMPASS)<br />
3. When you are ready to start, press the +1 key to select<br />
SWING COMPASS On. You will then see the TURN BOAT screen.
