ComNav 1101 Autopilot3 - 6 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Compasses
The 1101 Autopilot will function with heading input from either a
ComNav Fluxgate Compass or Magnetic Compass with a 12 KHZ
Compass Sensor.
Fluxgate Compass
Specifically designed for ComNav autopilots, the ComNav Fluxgate
Compass directly senses the earth’s magnetic field. The unit
incorporates a heeling coil for better performance when the vessel
is either rolling or heeled. The Fluxgate Compass is a sealed,
waterproof unit, 142 mm (5.6") square which may be mounted on a
deck, shelf or bulkhead. A single connection with a 3 m (10') cable
plugs into the 1101 SPU.
Magnetic Compass
ComNav can supply high quality, externally gimbaled Magnetic
Compasses of either 5" or 6" diameter. These compasses may be
purchased as either bracket mount or binnacle mount. Compensat-
ing spheres and arms are available for binnacle compasses.
Consult your ComNav dealer or the factory for part numbers
Magnetic Compass Sensor
The 12 KHZ Magnetic Compass Sensor senses the position of the
compass card of an externally gimbaled magnetic compass. The
sealed unit attaches to the bottom of a ComNav supplied magnetic
compass. A single connection with a 3 m (10') cable plugs into the
1101 SPU.
Other Compasses
ComNav recommends the use of ComNav supplied compasses for
best 1101 performance but you may choose to use either a fluxgate
compass or a magnetic compass from another manufacturer. See
your dealer or contact the factory for information on interfacing
these compasses with the 1101 Autopilot.
