ACP REMOTE COMPASS UNIT
DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT NOTE: This external fluxgate compass unit can ONLY
be used with ACP Pilot Systems or Network Compass displays.
Remove the transit screw after mounting on bulkhead and before
inserting cable connector.
The ACP Remote Compass Unit is a gimbal mounted electronic
fluxgate for use with ACP Pilot Systems. The unit is housed in a sealed
casing constructed of high impact plastic. It is therefore suitable for on
or below deck mounting.
If installed in a vessel with a steel or reinforced concrete hull it may be
necessary to install the external compass unit outside the magnetic
screening affect of the hull and super-structure.
It is supplied with a 12m/36ft, 6-core screened cable, one end with a
sealed connector for the compass unit and the other connecting directly
into the ACP Unit.
