Page 18: Heading Alignment
1. Loosen the Heading Sensor mounting slightly, so that you can rotate the sensor. To do this, use the Allen key supplied with the Heading Sensor to loosen the Allen bolt in the top of the Heading Sensor mounting bracket (see page 7). - Page 19 Chapter 4: Calibration 2. If the Heading Sensor’s readings are less than the actual readings, rotate the sensor slightly clockwise. If the Heading Sensor’s readings are greater than the actual readings, rotate the sensor slightly anti-clockwise. 3. Check the headings again, and repeat step 2 if required.
