19. Navigation Sensors
19.1 Common Reference
Sensors that are used for position (like EPFS, dual-axis log and radar) have a common reference point, which is
located on the conning position.
• The values of center and conning positions depend on size and geometry of the ship.
• Offsets from Antenna Position to Conning Position of Position Sensors depend on the location of position
sensor antennas.
• Offsets from Antenna Position to Conning Position of Radars depend on the location of the radar antennas.
• Offset of transducer position to Conning Position of dual-axis log depend on the location of dual axis log's
transducer.
All the values are maintained in the Installation parameters. During commissioning of the system, the installing
engineer will set all the values for the system. End users have limited access to the Installation parameters. These
parameters are controlled with a password. The Authorizing key disc is a floppy that contains the necessary key to
allow editing of the installation parameters.
