2. Apply12V powertothe instrument/PCB assembly
3. Press and holdSTDBYfor14 seconds untilCAL ?is displayed
4. Momentarily press+1and -1 togetherto gain access toextended
calibration(dealerset - up)
5. Advancefrom the CALLOCK page to thepilot type page by pressing
DISP
6. Usethe+1 and -1 buttonsto setthepilottype as required, 4000WHL
(wheel)or4000TILL(tiller)
7. PressSTDBY to exitextendedcalibration
8. Switchoff the power supply.Donotdisconnect
9. Whenthepilot is fullypowereddown, switchthe poweron again
10.Checkthat the requiredpilot type is momentarily displayedbefore
STANDBYisentered.If not, repeattheset- up procedure.Inthecaseof

2.1 Functional test
Disconnectthe Fluxgate fromthe Autopilotand checkcontinuity as follows:
Cablecolour Connectorpinnumber Resistance
Screentoblue 2/4 <10ohms
Redtogreen 3/5 <5ohms
Redtoyellow 3/6 <5ohms
Redtoscreen 3/2 Opencircuit
2.2 Magnetic deviation
TheFluxgateCompass requires carefulsiting if optimum Autopilot
performance is to beacheived.The SeaTalkelectronicsisabletocorrect the
compassformost deviatingmagneticfields present whenthe linearisation
procedureis carried out.Any furtherdeviation,introduced after linearisation,
willintroducean error between the Fluxgate andthe ship’s compass.This
canbe removedbycarrying outthelinearisation again.If the displayed
deviation isgreaterthan+/– 15 degreesthe Fluxgate shouldbe resited.
Note:Thelinearisationprocedure should always be carriedoutifthe
Fluxgatehas been exchanged, removed or moved fromits original mounting
position.
