4.2Turning the system ON/OFF

A single press on the POWER button switches the system ON, and the following start up information is shown on the display:

Once installed, calibrated and started, the HS50 needs no manual intervention during operation.

After power on, up to 15 minutes is needed to obtain full accuracy on all data. Since there normally is no reason for turning the unit off, it should be left running continuously.

The HS50 will be shut down in a controlled way when the POWER button is pressed for 1-2 seconds. Then the message Shutdown in process will appear on the screen. If the POWER button is pressed and held for 5 seconds or more, the system is shut down immediately. Typically used if the system has a hang- up and does not respond on any commands. The configuration of HS50 is however stored on the internal flash disk independent on how the unit is powered off.

4.3Performance monitoring

The navigation display NAV1 and NAV2 includes on the left side of the screen data quality and status information. The indicators are as follows:

HDT-Q. The quality of the heading measurements. Two black bar graphs indicate normal accuracy, one black and one white bar graph indicate reduced accuracy and two white invalid heading.
