< 3.COMPONENTS > Components and Their Functions 3.3.1 Sensor Unit A variety of sensor units are available depending on the installation conditions, but all of them con- sist of the following components: (1) Sensor (with built-in amplifier) Detects the ship’s speed in the water, and transmits the data to the master unit. If an emf is induced by the relative motion between the water flow (the ship’s speed in the water) and the magnetic field established by the coil, a voltage proportional to the ship’s speed is detected at the electrodes lo- cated at the tip of the sensor.

Page 51
< 6.INSTALLATION > (3) Span Adjustment (Maintenance Mode) If an error in the speed is proportional to the actual speed, it can be adjusted by multiplying the speed by a certain coefficient ( the span-adjustment value). This adjustment is made to minimize a discrepancy between the displayed speed and actual speed before a milepost measurement is made.
< 6.INSTALLATION > Milepost Measurement (Maintenance Mode) In actual navigation, the flow of water detected by the sensor in the measurement rod depends on the installation position of the sensor, type of ship, length of the protruding sensor, draft, and the ship's speed.
6-10 < 6.INSTALLATION > 6.5.1 Automatic Milepost measurement In this measurement, the actual speed in automatically calculated based on the travel time and the distance between mileposts which has been set in advance. To obtain the log speed, the speed detected by the sensor is automatically averaged.

6-13 < 6.INSTALLATION > 6.5.2 Manual milepost Measurement In the manual milepost mode, no data can be set or entered; only the log speed is displayed without intermediate error compensation. This mode is used to backup automatic milepost measurement. If the D-GPS or another speed indicator is available during milepost measurement, the speed ob- tained by the GPS or the indicator can be used as the real speed, instead of the real speed calcu- lated based on the distance and time.
6-14 < 6.INSTALLATION > 6.5.4 Dsiplay and Alteration of Linearizer Table (Maintenance Mode) After milepost measurement has been completed, all sets of obtained data are used to calculate the linearizer. In an actual situation, speed errors are corrected according to the linearizer which is represented as line graph (in 5-kt.
