SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Safety Information for the Installer WARNING CAUTION Turn off the power at the mains switchboard before beginning the installation. Post a sign near the switch to indicate it should not be turned on while the equipment is being installed. Confirm that the power supply voltage is compatible with the voltage rating of the equipment. Fire or electrical shock can result if the power is left on or is applied while the equipment is being installed. Use the supplied power cable.

1. OPERATION 1.1 Controls and Indications Program version The program version, denoted by the LEDs in binary notation, is shown. For example, the LED state shown on the next page means the program version is “1.03”. On: Auto correction is on. Off: Auto correction is off. On: True heading is output. Off: Magnetic heading is output. Off: Normal Blinking: Correcting the deviation. (For installation) ROM, RAM check AUTO LED lights: ROM is normal. TRUE LED lights: RAM is normal.

OPERATION Sequence of Start up test LED Sequence AUTO TRUE CALB 8 4 2 STATUS 1 0.5 seconds AUTO TRUE CALB 8 4 2 Test name Program Version No. STATUS 1 0.5 seconds AUTO TRUE CALB 8 4 2 STATUS All LEDs go off. 1 0.5 seconds AUTO TRUE CALB STATUS ROM, RAM check 0.5 seconds AUTO TRUE CALB 8 4 2 STATUS All LEDs go off. 1 0.5 seconds AUTO TRUE CALB STATUS Twice 0.
1. OPERATION 1.3 Automatic Distortion Compensation 1.4 The damping control determines how sensitively the sensor responds to change of ship’s heading. When the damping value is large, the sensor responds smoothly but a small boat may wander after the turning. Use a small damping value as possible. Magnetic field distortion on your vessel has been compensated at the installation. When the magnetic field distortion changes, it can be compensated automatically as follows.
1. OPERATION 1.5 Note 1: If the TRUE LED does not light within 90 seconds, check the navigator setting and cable connection. Note 2: If the sensor stops receiving magnetic variation data while outputting true heading, the TRUE LED stops lighting and blinks. The last-used variation data is used. Note 3: Magnetic variation cannot be corrected manually at the sensor. Therefore, if you desire true heading output but do not have a navigation aid, you may enter appropriate variation as shown in 3.
2. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 2.1 Maintenance Regular maintenance is important to maintain intended performance over a long period. Regularly check the following: • Clean the component with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners; they can remove paint and markings. • Make sure all connections are tight. • Check the ground terminal for corrosion. Clean if necessary. 2.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 2.3 Diagnostic Test AUTO This equipment has a diagnostic test which checks the LED, key operation, ROM, RAM, EEPROM, magnetic sensor, rate sensor (PG-500 only) and loop back for proper operation. Do this test after dismounting the sensor. Start 1. Disconnect the power cable from the equipment. 2. While pressing the [AUTO] and [DAMP] keys together, reattach the power cable. 3. Release the [AUTO] and [DAMP] keys when the AUTO LED lights.
2. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 2.4 Error Status When error is detected, all LEDs go off and then the STATUS LED blinks or goes off depending on error type as shown in the table below. LED status Meaning STATUS LED Magnetic blinks slowly. deviation error STATUS LED EEPROM error Remarks blinks quickly. STATUS LED Other than the Appropriate LED goes off. above. blinks. CALIB LED: Rate sensor error TRUE: Cable of the magnetic sensor is cut. 2.
3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Mounting Ship's bow This sensor must be mounted indoors on the horizontal plane. Bow mark When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points: • Vibration at the mounting location should be minimal. 13 0 Fixing hole ( 4.5 mm) • Install the sensor as far as possible from power cables and ferrous materials. 65 5.5 • Install the sensor near the ship's center of gravity. 1 14 2 15 • Align the bow mark with the ship's bow on the fore-and-aft-line.
3. INSTALLATION 3.2 Grounding Connections Ground the equipment as follows to prevent loss of sensitivity: Connect cables as shown below. Leave sufficient slack in cables for maintenance and checking ease. If cables run outside the bridge, run them through conduit to protect them from corrosion. • The ground wire should be as short as possible. • The ground wire should be about 1.25 sq and not contain steel. Note: The NMEA port (the mid position) can receive and send data.
3. INSTALLATION 3.3 light. Wait 30 seconds for the sensor to return to normal operation, or press any key for quick return. Correcting Magnetic Field Distortion The magnetic field around the sensor is subject to change with the ship structure, engines, electronic equipment or any ferrous materials in the vicinity. AUTO TRUE CALB STATUS : On The equipment contains an automatic magnetic field distortion correction facility. Do the following to correct magnetic field distortion on calm water.
3. INSTALLATION 3.4 Heading Alignment AUTO Heading alignment is required when sensor heading is different from actual heading. This alignment must be done using magnetic heading (default setting). TRUE CALB STATUS +1° +2° +3° +4° CAUTION +5° Turn off the autopilot before aligning heading. +6° +7° The autopilot may turn the rudder suddenly. Repeat : On : Off Procedure 1. Press the [ADJ] key more than two seconds. All LEDs go off.
3. INSTALLATION 3.5 Setting Output Data AUTO TRUE CALB HDT HDG STATUS Setting output interval The default setting is 200 ms. HDT : True heading HDM : Magnetic heading HDG : Magnetic heading & Magnetic variation value 1. Disconnect the power connector from the sensor. 2. Reattach the connector to the sensor while pressing the [DAMP] key. The equipment is powered on, and the current output interval is shown by the LEDs.
3. INSTALLATION 3.6 Setting Baud Rate Relation baud rate and output interval Baud rate Set the baud rate of external equipment. The default setting is 4800 bps. When connecting with the NAVpilot-500, use the default setting (4800 bps). 4800 1. Disconnect the power connector from the sensor. 2. Reattach the connector to the sensor while pressing the [AUTO] key. The sensor is powered on, and the current baud rate is shown by the LEDs. 3. Press the [AUTO] key to change the baud rate as appropriate.
