Verifying the installation parameters for the GPS antenna
Information from a few key sensors are vital for the ME70 accuracy. In order to achieve maximum accuracy, the physical locations of these sensors - normally referred to the Ship Origin - must be recorded in the ME70 setup. For future reference, the offset values for each sensor is recorded.
Prerequisites
For accurate location of the global positioning system (GPS) antenna, you need the detailed vessel drawings. Neither tools nor instruments are required. The ME70 system is turned on and operates normally.
Context
The physical location of the global positioning system (GPS) antenna relative to the transducer is required to allow the ME70 to show the correct navigational information in the ME70 presentation. The locations of the transducer and the Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna must be referenced to a common Ship Origin.
Procedure
1 Open the Setup menu.
2 On the Setup menu, select Installation.
Image
Observe that the Installation dialog box opens. This dialog box contains a number of pages selected from the menu on the left side.
3 On the left side of the Installation dialog box, select Sensor Installation.
4 Select the relevant sensor in the Installed Sensors list.
5 Make sure that the correct offset values have been inserted.
6 Fill in the result table.
