Step 4

D5384-1

Fluxgate compass - orientation

CAUTION:

You must mount the fluxgate compass vertically, with the cables exiting at the base.

1.Hold the compass against the mounting location.

2.Mark the four mounting holes, then remove the compass.

3.Drill four pilot holes using a 3 mm (1/8 in) drill bit.

4.Making sure the cable exits at the bottom of the compass, secure the fluxgate compass using the self-tapping screws provided (No 8 x 3/4 in, pan-head).

Note: Stick the supplied warning label near to the compass, where it is clearly visible.

4.3Connect to the course computer

1.The compass is supplied with 8 m (26 ft) of cable. Route the cable to the course computer, taking into account the EMC installation guidelines (page 7).

Note: Make sure you leave some spare cable so, if necessary, you can re-position the compass to reduce deviation. If the standard cable is not long enough, your Raymarine dealer can supply a 10 m (30 ft) extension cable (part number: D174)

2.Connect the five cores of the cable to the FLUXGATE terminals on the course computer (as shown).
