Ifnooffsetshavebeenprogrammed(0degreesforbothheelandtrim),

oftwoways.”
Toautomaticallycalibrateheelandtrim,makesuretheboatisrelatively
stationary.Pressandholdthecirclemarked“HoldtoCalibrate.”Theapp
willbegintocalculateanaveragepitchandrollreadingover10seconds
andanorangebarwilldisplaytheprogress.Oncethebarflashesgreen,

setto“OFF.”
Enablethe“BASIC”speedcalibration.
Ifthedesiredpercentageadjustmentisknown,youcansimplyenterit
intotheCompensationfield.
Ifyouwouldliketheapptocalculatethecorrectpercentageadjustment
foryou,tapthewizardicon.

speedoverground.
Distance:Speedthroughwateriscalculatedusingtraveltime
overaknowndistancesuchasameasuredmile.
SOGMETHOD
TheSOGmethodallowstheapptocalculateyouraveragespeedover
groundusingtheinternalGPSinyoursmartdevice.Youcanalso
manuallyenteranaveragevaluefromanexternalsource.
Bringtheboatuptocalibrationspeed.Thisisthespeedwhereyouwant
thegreatestaccuracyinyourspeedreadingandwillbedifferentforeach

Oncetravelingatarelativelyconstantspeedanddirection,tapthe


13
Oncecomplete,theaverageforeachvaluewillbeshownandthe

Turntheboat180degreesandbringitbacktoapproximatelythesame
speedusedintheprimarydirection.Youdon’tneedtoholdexactlythe

consistentspeedanddirection.
Tap“Reverse”andwaitfortheapptocountdownwhiletheaverage
speedsarecalculated.Thesecondrunintheoppositedirectionallows
theapptocalculatethespeedofthecurrentinthewaterandremoveit

ThevaluecanbemanuallyadjustedbytappingthevalueontheSpeed

DISTANCEMETHOD
ThedistancemethodofspeedcalibrationwillnotmakeuseofGPS.
Instead,you’lltravelaknowndistanceatarelativelyconstantspeed.The
appwillcalculatetheaveragespeedtraveledusingthetimerequiredto
covertheknowndistance.Itwillalsocalculatetheaverageindicated
speedfromthepaddlewheelandcomparethetwo.
Note:Calibrationusingaknowndistancerequiresbothanaccurate
measurementbetweentworeferencepointsandanaccuratetimeto
travelbetweenthem.Theshorterthedistancebetweenpoints,themore
potentialthereisforerrorinthemeasurement.Aminimumdistanceof
onestatutemileisrecommendedforadistance‐basedspeedcalibration.
Selectthe“Distance”button.
Entertheknowndistancebetweentwopointsintheunitsindicated.
Bringtheboatuptocalibrationspeed.Thisisthespeedwhereyouwant
thegreatestaccuracyinyourspeedreadingandwillbedifferentforeach



Whenyoupassthestartpoint,tap“Start.”Theappwillbegincountingin

Whenyoupasstheendpoint,tap“Stop.”Thenumberofrunswill

Followthesameprocessforadditionalruns.Ifyouwouldliketothrowa

Note:Ifyou’reperformingthecalibrationinalocationwhereasignificant

Changesinheelangleoftheboatwhileunderwaycanaffectthespeed
calculatedbythepaddlewheel.TheDST810canstorecalibrationsatup
totwodifferentanglesoneachsideinadditiontothestandard

theadvancedtablemustbeused.
Astheheelangleoftheboatchanges,thesensorwillshiftfromone
curvetothenext,interpolatingbetweenthem.
Forexample,ifa15%compensationisappliedat10degreesofheeland
a5%compensationisappliedat0degrees,thesensorwillapplya10%

Heel‐correctedSpeedCalibrationsareappliedusingasimilarprocessas
theStandardCalibration.However,thenatureoftheprocessprevents
makingrunsinoppositedirections.Forthisreason,it’simportantto
performthecalibrationinslackwater.
BeginthecalibrationbyselectingthewizardiconontheHeel‐corrected

Note:Calibrationusingaknowndistancerequiresbothanaccurate
