Guidelines for attaching the ENC to DPVs 

When using the navigation console with any DPV, you should carefully choose the mounting point for the device. An 

unfavorable placement may cause magnetic interferences from your vehicle elements (battery, engine) to the ENC 

compass sensor.  

For a SEACRAFT® underwater vehicle, the recommended placement for the navigation device and its speed sensor is 

shown below:
