6.4 Adjustments
(1) Zero Adjustment (Maintenance Mode)
A zero adjustment corrects a zero-point drift which may occur in a circuit other than the one in the
sensor. To make a zero adjustment, there mast be no water owing in the direction to be detected.
Therefore, make the adjustment :
� with the sensor placed in a bucket of water, or
� with the ship at anchor and no water owing around the sensor.
Furthermore,
� Lightly polish the electrodes in the sensor with the water-resistant sandpaper (at last #600) damp-
ened in water.
� Place the sensor in a bucket of water. Hold the sensor so that its electrodes are in the middle of
the bucket: do not let the electrodes come into contact with the bottom of the bucket.
The adjustment procedure is shown in the gure below.
