Chapter 3: Installation

3.8 Compass

CAUTION: Incorrect installation can cause serious performance issues

The most common cause of poor autopilot performance is incorrect compass

installation.

CAUTION: Compass subject to interference

The compass is sensitive to magnetic influences and other potential sources of

interference including engines and VHF radio waves. To ensure optimum operation

it is essential to locate the compass correctly. For detailed instructions refer to the

separate installation information supplied with the compass.

To mount the compass

•

Fit the fluxgate compass using the installation instructions supplied with the
compass, paying particular attention to the compass safe area label.

•

If you are using an NMEA compass as the primary compass, connect it to the
NMEA input on the SPX SmartPilot.

•

If you are using the fluxgate compass included with the SPX SmartPilot, connect
the compass’ flying lead to the to FLUXGATE terminal as shown below.
