6.1.12 Password menu
On this menu is possible to access to service functions of ECLIPSE after inserting the appropriate password.
To insert a password rotate the knob to increase/decrease the value and press it to switch to the next digit.
7.1 Magnetic calibration
Before using ECLIPSE in flight it's necessary to calibrate the magnetic sensors integrated in the instrument.
The heading readings is affected by magnetic field: to ensure accuracy it's necessary to perform correctly the calibration steps
indicated below. Magnetic field are generated for example by ferro magnetic materials (iron, ferrites) or by large electric current
in cables. The calibration can compensate for all static magnetic fields.
After completing the installation of your ECLIPSE, perform the calibration following this steps:
- Turn on the engine and go in a place far from possible magnetic fields (metallic shed, concrete floors with metal armatures,
etc..) and where is possible to execute more turn with the aircraft (on the ground).
- Turn on all the electric load usually used in flight.
- On the ECLIPSE enter in the setup menu, go in “Password” and insert the password “
2 4 0 0
”.
- Press the “
START
” button.
- Wait the indication “MAKE A 420 DEGREE CLOCKWISE CIRCLE SLOWLY” on the display then start, with the aircraft on
ground, a continuous slow circular movement toward right.
- On the display appear a number that indicate the rotation degrees, that starting from zero increase during the rotation
of the aircraft.
- Continue the slow circular movement: the calibration end automatically when the number reach a value of 420 and
the indication “CALIBRATION DONE !” appear on the display.
IMPORTANT
: To complete the turn required for the calibration you must take from 1 to 2 minutes.
- If you want to stop the calibration before the end without saving the calibration data press the button “STOP”
- After completing the calibration execute this check: with the ECLIPSE displaying the heading turn the aircraft exactly
at North, South, West and East verifying the correct indication on display.
