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.
