5.6 Installing the Sensitive element
The Sensitive element is shipped from the factory packed
separately, and the element has to be installed in the Master
compass according to the description below.
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.
Caution Use extreme caution when handling the Sensitive element! Do
not tilt the element. It is filled with oil and the top is open.
1 Make sure that the master compass is installed and cables
connect according to the description on page 37 onwards.
2 Remove the four screws on the Horizontal ring.
3 Lift the sensitive element carefully from its package, and
remove the rubber tube on top of the element.
Note! The package and the rubber tube should be kept for re-use if the
Sensitive element has to be sent to factory for service!
4 Tilt the Horizontal ring to the side where the plug is
located, and carefully put the sensitive element into the
ring.
- The socket on the Sensitive element should be located
right above the plug attached to the Horizontal ring.
5 Position the Sensitive element on the Horizontal ring by
putting the assembly jigs into the holes as indicated on the
figure below. Observe the labelling and the diameter on
the jigs. Fasten two screws in the other two holes.
