General
Because of the half-gimbal suspension DELTA-PILOT is especially suitable for installation of
magnetic detectors for autopilots or transmitting magnetic compasses. For this it is necessary
to use a special mounting cylinder according to the detector to be used.
Range of delivery:
Compass in black or white colour, a separate mounting flange, hood without aperture,
illumination.
As extras available are:
B+C magazine correctors (two magazines with 2 pcs of magnetics inside, if detctor is
mountied) or B+C turning correctors already mounted if not detector is intended.
Location of Compass
In case DELTA-PILOT will be used for steering purposes it should be installed in ahead
direction of the helmsman at a distance of not more than 1,5 m to allow easy and convenient
reading. In case the compass is intended to drive a magnetic detector only it can be located
anywhere. In both cases
to avoid magnetic interferences the following distances should
be kept for safe and reliable operation of the compass
:
The distance is to be understood as a radius around the compass. This radius should be at
least 50…60 cm to any magnetic iron. In addition this place should not be inside the cabin,
hull or superstructure of the vessel if made of magnetic iron, because the iron environment
will shield the earth`s magnetic field.
