For HDG BACKUP, use or on the Omnipad to set time, from 1 to 5 (minutes). Press the [DISP] key to close the menu. 3. 6 Confirming Satellite Status You can check the receiving condition of each antenna unit as follows: 1. Choose SATELLITE and press the [ENT] key. RX signal level Horizontal bar extends with signal strength. Satellite whose signal strength extends past the first vertical line is used for heading calculation.

The setting range is from 0 (no smoothing) to 999 seconds, and the default is 5 s, which is good for rolling period o 5-8 s. "0" is the default setting; increase the setting if the GPS fix fluctuates largely. SMOOTH S/C (Smoothing speed/course) Ship's speed and course are directly measured by receiving GPS satellite signals, independent of positions. If the setting is too high, however, the follow-up to actual values gets slower. LAT/LON OFFSET (L/L position offset) If GPS fixes are erroneous while at anchor, enter a position offset to compensate for position error. Consult a nautical chart to determine latitude and longitude differences between the chart and GPS display. DISABLE SV (Disable satellite) Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in its Almanac, which contains general orbital data about all GPS satellites. [. . . ] Temporarily fix the pedestal and support plate to the antenna mast as shown in the illustration below. (The pedestal and support plate will be welded to the antenna mast after confirming that the installation site is suitable, following paragraph 2. 6 Initial Settings. ) Note: If U-bolts are used to temporarily fix the pedestal and support plate, DO NOT overtighten them ­ overtightening may deform the pedestal.
