- Master compass
- Sensitive element
- Control unit
- Spare part kit
- Mounting jigs

The sensitive element is shipped from the factory packed
separately in foaming phenylethene to protect it from shock and
vibration. The final assembly of the sensitive element into the
Master compass have to be done when the Master compass is
mounted onboard the vessel. Refer page 43.
Note! It is recommended to keep the packing material for the Sensitive
element. This original packing should be used if the element is
sent to the factory for service or repair.
Care should be taken when unpacking and handling the
equipment. A visual inspection should be made to see that the
equipment has not been damaged during shipment and that all
components and parts are present.
5.2 Mechanical installation

mounted with special regard to the units’ environmental
protection, temperature range and cable length. Refer Technical

Note! A special tool (Simrad part no. 44174449) is required when
installing the Sensitive element. This tool is delivered together
with the gyro, and the sensitive element should not be installed
without using this tool.
