Installation of Compass Binnacle
The reflection tube should be installed already. Holes to fix the binnacle column should be drilled to the platform
and cables for illumination and detectors should be visible in a length of about 60 cm above platform level.
1. Move the binnacle to its final position. The ahead direction is marked The Flinder’s bar points to a head.
2. Remove the cover near to the base and connect light cables to the relevant junction box (refer to page
wiring below), same with detector cables.
3. Make sure that cable do not obscure the sight channel!
4. Fix the binnacle temporarily at its position. Final fixing will be done by the compass adjuster when
adjusting the compass.
Note:
1. Do not seal the the binnacle base on the platform! Water inside the binnacle column should flow off this way.
2. A voice pipe has to be installed between the compass on the compass deck and the helmsman´s position in
the wheelhouse. Use non magnetic material. The upper part with mouth piece must be rotatory.
