26 ST60+ Compass Instrument Owner’s Handbook
To proceed with the linearization, slowly turn the vessel in a circle, so that the
speed is kept below 2 knots and so that it takes at least 3 minutes to complete
360°. If the vessel is turning too quickly, the buzzer will sound and a SLO
message will flash on the digital display. If this occurs, slow down the vessel’s rate
of turn.
Keep turning until the heading alignment screen is displayed. Linearization is now
complete .
Note:
If you want to move from the linearization screen to the heading alignment screen
without carrying out the linearization procedure, press the
disp
button.
Note the pointer reading which shows the amount of deviation corrected. If this
reading exceeds 15°, the Fluxgate Compass transducer should be re-sited.
