Confirming The Current Heading Offset; Determining The Heading Discrepancy - KNS Ku-BAND TX Installation And Operation Manual

limited, so the installer can mount the antenna in a direction other than the recommended
direction. If the antenna is mounted in another direction, the installer must re-set the
heading offset. Please refer to the steps outlined below to configure the heading offset.
NOTE: Heading offset is only required when the PCU compass mode is 'NORMAL',
'ENHD FAILED (Enhanced Failed)', 'GYRO FAILED'. An internal magnetic mode does not
reuquire the heading offset. Please refer to 'Installation Mode' to determine the PCU
compass mode.
NOTE: Heading offset only affects the azimuth angle, and has nothing to do with
elevation.

5.2.1 Confirming the Current Heading Offset

You can see the current heading offset in the 'Installation Mode' as shown in Figure 4-4
below. Be sure to remember the current heading angle before moving to the next step.
Figure 5-5 Confirming the Current Heading Angle

5.2.2 Determining the Heading Discrepancy

Input the current heading offset in 'NEW ANGLE' to determine the heading discrepancy.
Then, the antenna will move to the heading offset position established at the factory. The
angle between the pointing direction of the antenna and the ship's bow is the heading
discrepancy.
