CORRECTION DIAGRAM AT EXTREME TEMPERATURES

Doppler Speed Log DS-80

CORRECTION FACTOR FOR ANALOG DISPLAY MF-22A-1

Example:
If the analog speedometer reads 14.2 kt at a temperature of –15°C, the correct speed
through the water is 15 kt. Failure of correction in low temperature can result in a maximum
error of –0.8 kt or 5.3% for 14.2 kt readout. IMO limit of ±2% is exceeded over 10.0 – 30.0 kt
reading but correction by this graph brings a correct measurement.
At +55°C, an error of +0.0 kt (+2.7%) occurs at a speed of 30 kt; no other point IMO limit of
±2% is exceeded.
When the digital display and analog display readouts are different, take precedence of the
digital readout. At temperatures 0°C to 50°C, the speedometer never exceeds the IMO
limits.

Parts List
This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to
component level are not practicable (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components
are used. FURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD. believes identifying these components is of no
use for shipborne maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in this manual. Major modules
can be located on parts location photos on the preceding page.
