Instrument calibration
Before using the instrument the following parameters must be set:
•
UNIT OF MEASURE, (metres or feet). It can be set in the Measure menu;
•
SENSOR (2-wire standard or 3-wire electronic). It can be set in the Sensor menu;
BARBOTIN circumference setting (in cm or inches) on sensor menu: the value to be entered is the
circumference on chain winding point. If this value is not available in windlass technical records, it is
necessary to measure chain length which the gypsy can house on its circumference. This measure
expressed in centimeters (or inches according to the measure set) is the value which has to be entered in
the Barbotin parameters
Setting the DIVIDER in the Sensor menu: if a standard sensor is used, this value must be set to
1 while using an electronic sensor it must be equal to the number of gypsy teeth:
WHC040
CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE BARBOTIN
27
Example:
Barbotin with 8 teeths
If a 3-wire electronic sensor is used, set this
value in the DIVIDER.
