bearing. Slightly turn the heading sensor until the correct heading readout is
displayed. Tighten the screws.
Note!
If you sail the boat more than 15-20° north or south of the latitude of your last
calibration, the calibration procedure should be repeated. Calibration data is
stored in the RFC35NS and will only be deleted when a new calibration is
performed.
When connecting fluxgate compasses other than Robertson types, the FI100-40
Fluxgate Interface must be connected between the compass and the control unit.
The interface unit is bulkhead (or table) mounted with two screws.
The fluxgate compass is connected to a terminal board in the FI100-40 according
to the diagram enclosed with the unit. FI100-40 is connected to J2 of the control
unit according to Fig. 5-8.
