2. Use disp to move through the Seatrial calibration items until you see
SWING COMPASS .
Note: If you cannot access Seatrial calibration, you need to disable the calibration lock. This can
be found in Dealer calibration (see
page 52 ).
3. When you are ready to start, press +1, to select SWING COMPASS ON .
4. Press
auto to start the compass swing.
The Pilot Controller will display TURN BOAT .
5. Start slowly turning the boat in circles (keeping the boat’s speed below 2 knots).
You will need to complete at least two circles, taking at least 2 minutes to complete
each 360°:
If you turn the boat too quickly, the display will show a TOO FAST message. If this
occurs, apply less helm to turn in a larger circle.
Note: If necessary, you can quit the correction process by pressing standby or disp. If you then
want to repeat the deviation correction, return to the
SWING COMPASS screen.
6. Continue slowly turning the boat until the controller beeps and displays the
DEVIATION screen. This indicates that the SPX-5 Tiller system has completed the
deviation correction.
Note: This screen shows the maximum deviation encountered over 360° (not as an east/west
value).
If the deviation figure exceeds 15° or the display shows no deviation value, the
compass is being affected by ferrous objects on your boat. You should move the
compass to a better location. Higher deviation figures are acceptable on steel boats.
