Simrad HS50 Heading Sensor

Re-calibration of the Sensor unit

The direction of the Sensor unit relative to the vessel's heading has to be recalculated only if the Sensor unit has been moved or dismounted from its holder. Then the calibration procedure described in General section, page 28 has to be followed for re- calibration of the heading.

Processing unit

No special maintenance is required. It is advisable, however, at the start of each season to make a visual inspection of the terminals below the bottom cover (terminal cover) and check all connections.

Display unit

The Display unit will under normal use require little maintenance.

If the unit requires any form of cleaning, use fresh water and a mild soap solution (not a detergent). It is important to avoid using chemical cleaners and hydrocarbons such as diesel, petrol etc.

Make sure that all open connectors on the Display unit are fitted with a protection cap.

It is advisable at the start of each season to check all connections to the unit and cover with Vaseline or WD40. If the Display unit is not removed from the vessel, it should be covered with the white protection cover.

Software upgrades

Software upgrades with improvements and new functionality will regularly be offered. Download of new software version is performed from an external PC by utilizing the Ethernet port on the PC and the HS50 Processing unit. Some new software releases will also require a new PROMM installed in the Display unit.
