HS60 alignment
The top of the HS60 enclosure incorporates sight design features to
help you align the enclosure with respect to an important feature
on your vessel.
To use the sights, center the small post on the opposite side of the
enclosure from you, within the channel made in the medallion
located in the center of the enclosure top as shown in the 2 below
illustrations. Alignment accuracy when looking through the site and
is approximately +/- 1°.

If you have another accurate source of heading data on your vessel,
such as a gyrocompass, you may use its data to correct for a bias
in HS60 alignment within the HS60 software configuration. Alter-
natively, you can physically adjust the heading of the HS60 so that
it renders the correct heading measurement; however, adding a
software offset is an easier process.
