7.1 User calibration

The i60 CH instrument display is a repeater display
and as such does not require calibration, the steps
below apply to the calibration of the i60 Wind
instrument only.
User calibration options include:
• Wind angle offset — Assigns an offset to the wind
angle readings.
• Units for Wind speed readings — Assigns the unit
of measure used for wind speed related readings
Automatic Linearization
The wind transducer can linearize itself automatically
under certain conditions.
For Automatic Linearization to be performed CAL
must be flashing on the digital display. CAL is
displayed for approximately 30 seconds after power
on under the following conditions:
• At first power on, after installation
• At power on, after a factory reset.
To perform the automatic linearization the vessel will
need to be underway, with sufficient space to turn in
large circles unhindered. The wind speed must be
sufficient to hold the vane to wind whilst the vessel is
turning. The vessel must be turned slowly through at
least 2 complete circles.
This procedure automatically linearizes the wind
vane. A successful linearization is indicated by the
digital display flashing and a buzzer sounding three
beeps

2. Sail your vessel directly into the wind and adjust
the analog pointer to zero, using the VMG and
Tack buttons.
The VMG button will decrease the current value
and the Tack button will increase the current
value. As you do this, the wind angle offset
shows the amount of correction you have applied.
3. To exit the User Calibration Menu at any time
press and hold the Display and True / App
buttons at the same time for approximately 2
seconds.
Selecting the unit of measure for wind speed
readings
From the User Calibration Menu:
1. Press the Display button until the Wind Speed
Units page is displayed (2 presses from the User
Calibration page).
2. Use the VMG or Tack buttons to select the
required unit of measure for wind speed readings.
The available units of measure for wind speed
are:
• KTS (default) — Knots
D12415-2
• M/S — Meters per second
3. To exit the User Calibration pages at any time
press and hold the Display and True / App
buttons at the same time for approximately 2
