SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Information for the Installer
WARNINGWARNING
Turn off the power at the mains
switchboard before beginning the
installation.
Post a sign near the switch to indicate
it should not be turned on while the
equipment is being installed.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on or is applied while the
equipment is being installed.
CAUTION
Confirm that the power supply voltage
is compatible with the voltage rating
of the equipment.
Connection to the wrong power supply
can cause fire or damage the equipment.
Use the supplied power cable.
Use of a wrong power cable can cause
fire or damage the equipment.
Maintain the compass safe distance to
prevent deviation to a magnetic
compass.

FOREWORD
A Word to PG-500/C-500 Owners
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO PG-500 Integrated Heading Sensor, C-500
Fluxgate Heading Sensor. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO name has become
synonymous with quality and reliability.
For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for inno vat ive
and dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our
extensive global network of sales and service.
Your heading sensor is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine
environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless installed, operated
and maintained properly. Please carefully read and follow the recommended procedures for
installation, operation and maintenance.
We would appreciate hearing from you about whether we are achieving our purposes.
Thank you for choosing FURUNO equipment.
Features
• The PG-500 uses a fluxgate magnetic sensor in conjunction with a solid-state angular rate
heading.
• The C-500 uses a fluxgate magnetic sensor.
• The PG-500/C-500 can correct magnetic devia tion automatically.
• The PG-500/C-500 can convert magnetic heading to true head ing (requires FURUNO GPS
Navigator).

1. OPERATION
1.1 Controls and Indications
On: Auto correction is on.
Off: Auto correction is off.
On: True heading is output.
Off: Magnetic heading is output.
Off: Normal
Blinking: Correcting the deviation.
(For installation)
On: Normal
Off or blinking: Error

Program version
The program version, denoted by the LEDs
in binary notation, is shown. For example,
the LED state shown on the next page
means the program version is “1.03”.
ROM, RAM check
AUTO LED lights: ROM is normal.
TRUE LED lights: RAM is normal.
(CALB and STATUS LEDs are always lit.)
Deviation status
All LEDs blink twice when the calibration is
completed.
After the diagnostic tests are completed;
• C-500 outputs heading data and the
STATUS LED lights immediately.
Corrects the heading.
Smoothes the heading data to output.
Turns deviation corrections on and off.

1.2 Turning the Power On/Off
Power to the sensor may be turned on or off
at the mains switchboard.
Turn the mains switch on.
The sensor checks the program version,
LED, ROM, RAM and deviation status in that
order for proper operation.
• PG-500 calculates the rate sensor offset.
The STATUS LED blinks during the
calculation, which takes about two minutes.
When the STATUS LED lights, bearing is
reliable.
Note: Confirm that the STATUS LED is lit
(not blinking) before leaving port.
