3.4Heading Alignment

You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow. Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the heading line (zero degrees).

In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display because of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The following adjustment will compensate for this error.

1.Turn on the power. Press [RADAR MENU] [0] [0] [0] [2] [2] to select HL ALIGN on the INITIAL SETTING1 menu.

2.Select a target echo (by gyrocompass, for example) at a range between 0.125 and 0.25 nm, preferably near the heading line.

3.Operate the EBL control to bisect the target echo with the heading line. (The value shown on the display is scanner position in relation to ship's bow.)

4.Press [ENTER] to finish.
