VEHICLE MAGNETIC COMPENSATION



CONFIRMATION OF MAGNETIZATION AND DEMAGNETIZATION


The RV meter automatically conducts gemagnetization calibration by sampling direction data while the vehicle is normally driving. The calibration can be done manually at any time.
caution If the battery terminal is disconnected or RV meter is removed, perform the settings according to the following procedure.

1.

Press function switch 3 for three seconds or more during the environment information screen to call up the screen as shown in the illustration.


2.When function switch 3 (CAL.COMP) is pressed, a message of urging gemagnetization calibration is displayed.

3.Drive around the vehicle.
note When driving around the vehicle to correct the sensor, select a safe and open area where there are no structures exist such as the high-tension line and the iron bridge that affect the geomagnetic sensor in circumference.

4.A message of completing gemagnetization calibration is displayed.

  • When pressing "DISP" and "ADJ" switches
  • When pressing function switch 3 (CANCEL)
  • When turning the ignition switch to the "OFF" (LOCK) position

DEMAGNETIZATION AND CORRECTION METHOD



1.Demagnetize the body using a commercial demagnetizer.

2.While keeping the distance between the tip of demagnetizer and the roof panel to approximately 50 mm, move the demagnetizer slowly with a sweeping manner on the rear-half surface of roof panel.
caution If the tip of demagnetizer touches the roof panel, the magnetizing condition of body becomes worse to the contrary. Absolutely avoid this.
3.Slowly draw the demagnetizer apart from the body. Turn OFF the switch of demagnetizer when it is apart from the body more than 50 mm.
caution If the demagnetizer is turned OFF near the body or it is suddenly separated from the body, the magnetizing condition of body becomes worse to the contrary. Absolutely avoid these.
4.After degeomagnetization, gemagnetization calibration is carried out.
