3.4.3.2 Switching on the compass
The compass goes into the heating stage for the first 30 minutes (this period will vary
depending on the temperature of the supporting liquid), during which time the course
output of the compass is unavailable and the letter “h” is displayed as the leading sign
on the digital display (see Figure 59).
During the settling i n stage (for 4 hours after s witching on), the course output of the
compass may be used; however, the deviation from the actual course may still be
considerable (as well as the connected course receiver).
During this period, an additional dot appears in the digital display of the compass
(see Figure 60).
(The “Quick Settling” option reduces the settling in stage to approximately 1 hour).
After 4 hours from switching on, the compass course may be used.
4 hours after s witching on, the compass has a accuracy of <2 °.
After appr. 5 hours (after switching on), the compass has an accuracy of
von 0,1° x
