Performing Basic Calibration
If you connect the sensor to a NMEA 2000 network without a
compatible Garmin chartplotter, you must perform basic
calibration instead of menu-based calibration.
You must be able to view heading data from the sensor on a
connected chartplotter or marine display before you can perform
basic calibration. If you cannot view heading data on your
connected display, check the NMEA 2000 network and power
connections.
All other sources of heading data that are not based on GPS
must be removed from the NMEA 2000 network while
performing basic calibration.
When performing basic calibration, you first calibrate the
compass and then align the heading in one continuous
procedure. If you installed the sensor with the cable pointing
toward the bow, parallel to the keel, it may not be necessary to
align the heading.
NOTE: If you choose to align the heading, you must connect a
GPS source to the NMEA 2000 network. The boat must be able
to reach a cruising speed of at least 6.4 km/h (4 mph) to perform
the heading alignment.
1
Drive the boat to a location with calm, open water.
2
Set the display to view heading data from the connected
sensor.
3
Disconnect the sensor from the NMEA 2000 network or turn
off the power to the NMEA 2000 network.
4
Wait while the boat becomes level and stationary.
5
Turn on power to the sensor, and wait until the heading data
appears on the display
À
.
6
Within three minutes, complete two full, slow, tight circles
Á
,
taking care to keep the boat as steady and level as possible.
The boat should not list during calibration.
If possible, you can turn the vessel in place by engaging two
engines in opposite directions.
When the sensor is prepared to calibrate the compass, the
heading data disappears from the display
Â
You may receive an error message that the heading was lost.
You can ignore this message.
7
Continue turning in the same direction at the same speed
Ã
for approximately 1
1
/
2
rotations until the heading data
appears
Ä
.
When the heading data appears, the compass has been
calibrated successfully, and you can align the heading
(optional).
8
Select an option.
If you want to align the heading to match the front of the
boat, proceed to the next step.
If you installed the sensor with the arrow pointing parallel
to the front of the boat, and do not want to align the
heading, stop turning and wait, keeping the boat
stationary. Over the next two minutes the heading data
should disappear and then reappear. When the heading
data reappears, the compass should be calibrated and no
heading offset should be applied.
NOTE: If an unwanted heading offset is applied, you must
disconnect all GPS sources from the NMEA 2000 network,
and repeat the calibration. If the only available heading
display is also a GPS source, you must repeat the
calibration, and disconnect the sensor after step 7.
9
Continue turning in the same direction at the same speed for
approximately ten seconds, until the heading data disappears
from the display
Å
.
10
When it is safe, straighten the boat and drive in a straight line
Æ
at cruising speed (must be at least 6.4 km/h (4 mph)) until
the heading data appears
Ç
.
When the heading appears, the compass has been
calibrated, and the heading has been aligned on the sensor.
11
Test the results of the calibration, and repeat this procedure if
necessary.
Restoring Factory Default Settings
If you relocate the sensor or do not believe the calibration was
successful, you can delete all calibration information from the
sensor, and restore its factory default settings. After restoring
the factory default settings, you must configure the sensor
before you can use it with your system.
1
Select Settings > Communications > NMEA 2000 Devices
> Device List.
2
Select the name of the sensor.
3
Select Review > Factory Defaults > Yes.
