4.15 RFC35R Rate Compass installation
The RFC35R Rate Compass also contains a magnetic fluxgate
sensor, which means you have to take the same precautions at
installation as for the standard RFC35 (see previous page). On
steel hull boats, however, it should be installed 0,75-1 meter
(2,5-3 feet) above the steel deck to obtain optimum performance.
• Connect the Robnet connector to the AP22 Control Unit (or
CI300X or NI300X if installed).
