Si-tex SP-110C - Compass

Compass
Take care when handling the
compass as it is a sensitive piece of
equipment. The compass position
is the most important item in the
installation of the autopilot. Good
course holding is dependent on the
compass being free from magnetic
interference and excessive rolling
or pitching.
Position:
• Select a dry position free from
magnetic interference. (Note other
side of bulkheads and deck heads
for magnetic type objects)
• Avoid positions near radios,
speakers, aerial cables or any other
current carrying cable.
• Mount the compass horizontally
with the arrow (bow) pointing in the
same direction as the boat’s bow.
Use non-magnetic screws (316
grade stainless steel)
• Run cable to SP-110C display
position (keep away from other
cables)
• Connect compass cable to
SP-110C compass socket
