Fluxgate Compass
PN 20320008
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
which may be mounted on a deck, shelf, or bulkhead. This compass outputs the traditional
analog Sine and Cosine compass signals. It is supplied with a 12 metre (40’) cable with flying
leads to wire it into the P4’s SPU.
