6.5 Calibration

Before first use calibration procedures must be carried out to
ensure optimum performance of the instrument with the vessel.
The calibration procedures are:
• User calibration
• Intermediate calibration
• Group setup
• Dealer calibration
Note: Group setup is for group illumination and is not part of
the calibration process.
User calibration
The i60 Close hauled wind is a repeat 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
• Wind speed units
Linearizing and aligning the wind transducer
You can linearize and align the wind transducer by following
the steps below.
You will need to be underway, with sufficient space to turn in a
large circle unhindered.
1. Slowly turn the vessel through 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. Press and hold the Power and True / App button
simultaneously for approximately 2 seconds to enter the user
calibration menu.

3. Press the Power button to display the wind angle offset page.
4. Sail your vessel directly into the wind and adjust the analog
pointer to 0, using the VMG and Tack buttons.
VMG
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.
5. To exit the user calibration pages at any time press and
hold the Power and True / App buttons simultaneously for
approximately 2 seconds.
Selecting wind speed units
Wind speed units can be displayed in either knots or meters per
second. To change the wind speed units follow the steps below.

Checking the instrument status
You can check the instrument display's status by following the
steps below.
From the software version page:
1. Press the Power button.
The instrument status is displayed (r0 = master and r1
= repeater). The instrument status page will time-out
automatically after 8 seconds of inactivity.
Dealer calibration
D12488-1
The dealer calibration procedures include:
• Setting User calibration options on or off.
• Setting required wind angle and speed response.
D12489-1
• Setting the velocity made good (VMG) response.
• Setting boat show mode on or off.
• Restore factory default
Setting dealer calibration options
To set the dealer calibration options follow the steps below:
During normal operation:
1. Press and hold the Power and True / App buttons for
D12490-1
approximately 14 seconds to display the dealer cal entry
page.
2. Press the VMG and Tack buttons simultaneously to display
the user calibration access page.
