5 seconds when the trip distance is displayed. Calibration of the VDO Sumlog After installation of the system your VDO Sumlog must be calibrated to obtain speed and distance measurements with the maximum accuracy. Mark two distinct points on the map. The distance between these two points defines the measuring length (see page 29). - Page 10 CALIBRATION Measuring length: Make a measuring run at a cruising speed, which remains as constant as possible. Check that the calibration factor is C=1.00 (as supplied) at the beginning of the measuring run, and that the trip distance counter is set to zero. The following example refers to a measuring run in water without a cur- rent with a measuring length of 2 nautical miles (nm).

Page 14: Installation Of The Sending Unit
The sending unit must be installed in a turbulence-free zone in the hull. If an echo sounder is installed, the Sumlog sending unit should be instal- led at the same height and to the side of, or laterally offset to the echo- sounder. - Page 15 INSTALLATION expected. An ideal installation is near the longitudinal axis of the ship and in the zone of the first stringer, directly in front of the engine compartment if possible. At higher speeds this is the only location where a disturbance- free operation can be expected.
