Figure 4.3.4.1 – Compass Calibration
Calibration of the module is generally used by AvL technical personnel only but may be suggested
when an antenna system is being installed onto a permanent mount or vehicle for the first time.
Calibration may also be required when an antenna system is moved into an area of high magnetic
disturbance.
Caution - This function calibrates the compass device itself and cannot be removed. For setting
compass read offsets to the controller, use the Compass Test Tool.
Pressing the Automated Calibration button starts the calibration process without any user
assistance. The antenna will swing throughout its entire azimuth range and the process may take up
to 10 minutes or longer. Once it is complete, the user will be informed and directed to run the
Compass Test Tool to determine the correct heading offset.
