Recalibrating The System - TracVision M9 User Manual

Recalibrating the System

During installation, the TracVision M9 should have been properly
calibrated. However, if the antenna is moved or if additional
equipment is installed or removed near the antenna, KVH
recommends recalibrating the system. The following sections explain
how to recalibrate the system.
NOTE: This procedure does not apply to large vessels, such as tankers and
large cargo ships.
To perform this procedure, you will need to perform the following:
• Clear the existing calibration score
• Turn on autocalibration
• Recalibrate the system
• Verify the calibration score
