Ensure that the seal fits correctly between
the meter and the panel or bulkhead.
5.2 Compass sensor
5.2.1 Choosing a location
Each compass is calibrated in the factory
so the more careful you choose the loca-
tion for the compass sensor the better the
result will be.
It is very important that the sensor is
mounted away from any material that is
likely to cause magnetic interference.
- A safe distance from external mag-
netic interference: 3 m (10 ft) from
VHF, RDF, loudspeakers, depth sound-
ers, engines, or power cables carrying
heavy current.
- 3 m (10 ft) from Radar and SSB equip-
ment.
- Externally mounted on steel vessels.
- Well protected from physical damage.
- Optimum positioning: As low as pos-
sible to minimise effect of pitching and
rolling of boat.
- Do not mount the compass near mag-
nets (card compass)
Should there be any doubt about the suit-
ability of mounting the sensor due to mag-
netic interference, a hand compass may
be used to determine any magnetic devia-
tion at the proposed mounting place.
Electronic Compass EC
5.2.2 Mounting
In
the
package
stainless steel metal
bracket is provided to
install the compass.
Loosen the knurled
knob and lift the unit,
the stem with the ca-
ble will slide through
the hole of the brack-
et. Mount the bracket
at the desired loca-
tion. Use only non-
magnetic fasteners to
secure the bracket.
The
arrow
on
top
of
the
com-
pass sensor
should point
to the bow of
the vessel.
5.3 Connections
For wiring diagram see chapter 7.
Connect the cable from the compass sen-
sor as shown in the diagram. If you need
to cut and rejoin the cable be sure to con-
nect colour to colour.
The electronic compass display is suitable
for both 12 and 24 Volt DC.
