When connecting fluxgate compasses other than Robertson types, the FI100-40 Fluxgate Interface must be connected between the compass and the control unit.

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.
