Chapter 6: Calibration
The following calculation must be used when carrying out Manual Log
Calibration:
FKorrection Factor) = Known Distance/Vleasured Distance
The Known distance is the distance between two charted objects (e.g., two
buoys).
The
Measured
distance isthe distance recorded by the speed instrument,
allowing for tidal flow.

To obtain the correction factor
(R
proceed from object 1 to object 2 and then
object2 to object 1. The measured distance in each case must be noted,
added together, and then
divided
by 2 to obtain the average distance.
To obtain the correction factor,
divide
the known distance by the average
distance. Once the correction factor has been calculated it can be entered into
the instrument as described in the flowchart on the following page. Do not
forgetto
store the correction factor.
No&The
log calibration range is from 0.25 to 2.00. Calibration factors
outside of this range cannot be stored.
COUNTDOWN ALARM
Note:The
correction factor must be saved once it has been entered. This is
achieved by pressing DEPTH and SPEED together until the display returns to
its normal mode (approximately 2 seconds).
