The compass is normally bulkhead mounted below decks. However, it
can be mounted above deck on steel vessels. Although it is
weatherproof, performance may be impaired due to the increased
motion if it is mounted above deck.
3.3 Installation Procedure
To install the heading Sensor:
1. Hold the Heading Sensor mounting bracket (4) against the
selected bulkhead.
2. Outline the four fixing holes in the Heading Sensor mounting
bracket (4).
3. Drill four pilot holes for the self-tapping screws.
4. Secure the Heading Sensor mounting bracket (4) to the bulkhead
using the four self-tapping screws (3) provided. The embossed
arrow on the back of the bracket must be pointing skywards.
Note: The Heading Sensor must be within 10° of the vertical and,
ideally, positioned at the pitch and roll centre of the vessel.
