For Fluxgate Compasses
To fully adjust the Fluxgate Compass, it is
necessary to take a short trip with your boat.
Put your tools and other magnetic objects in
storage places away from the Fluxgate
Compass.
Check your hydraulic installation for any leaks
or loose components.
Do not attempt to adjust the compass near a
steel bridge, a submarine cable, or a steel
ship.
Move your vessel to a location that is:
• Free from other water traffic.
• Far away from large magnetic objects.
9. RE-START SET-UP procedure at
Step 1 and follow until display shows [FLUH].
Go to step 10.
10. Slowly turn the boat in as small a
circle as possible.
It must take at least one minute to complete
the turn. If the Compass adjustment is
satisfactory, the Autopilot will show [nort]. Go
to Step Thirteen.
If the Autopilot will not stop displaying [tURN],
you may have such a strong magnetic field
aboard your vessel that the compass is not
able to sense any motion. If this occurs, try
moving the compass far away from it’s
present location and repeat the turn.
11. Use four #10 (5mm) screws to
mount your Fluxgate Compass.
These screws should be a non-magnetic
material such as high quality stainless steel or
brass.
This completes the Set-up Routine.
If the Compass adjustment is not satisfactory the Autopilot will display
[MovE] (Move).
The Autopilot has been unable to adjust the Compass for the strong magnetic fields in that location.
You must select another location which is further from magnetic materials or power cables. On
small vessels the compass location often is a compromise between the most stable position and the
position which has the least magnetic interference.
Press the Pilot Key to continue the Set-up Routine.
