Fluxgate Compasses
PN 20320003 – standard version (with plug: PN 20320007 )
PN 20320008 – with Heeling Coil (with plug: PN 20320004 )
Specifically designed for use with ComNav 14xx, SP-xx, 5001 & P Series autopilots, these
ComNav Fluxgate Compasses directly sense the Earth’s magnetic field; they output the
traditional “analog compass” signals (“Sine & Cosine” signals). These compasses are
sealed, waterproof units, and may be mounted on a deck, shelf, or bulkhead.
They are supplied with an attached 12 metre (40’) cable, which is wired directly into the
Commander P2’s SPU.
The heeling coil version provides better performance when the boat is either rolling or heeled.
• When the system has a Heading Rate Stabilizer (see next page)

, the “with plug”
versions are used instead.

If the “plug” versions are used without an HRS, an adapter cable (PN 31110024) is required, to allow direct connection
to the SPU.
