SITING THE COMPASS UNIT

Mount the unit upright on a flat, vertical bulkhead.

A safe distance from external magnetic interference:

1m/3ft from VHF, RDF, loudspeakers, depth sounders, engines,
power cables carrying heavy current, etc.,

3m/10ft from Radar and SSB Equipment.

Reasonably well protected from direct physical damage.

With the connector downwards as shown in the above diagram.

MOUNTING PROCEDURE

Secure the unit in the selected site using the non-magnetic self-
tapping screws provided.

Route the cable to the computer unit avoiding other cables
carrying heavy currents, e.g. engine starter, trim tab, etc.

Secure in place with cable clips or tie-wraps.

Avoid bending the cable through a tight radius especially near the
connector as this may damage the wires inside the cable.
