The Sensitive elements are shipped from the factory packaged separately.
The elements have to be installed in the Master compasses according to
the description below.
Note!
A special tool (Simrad part no. 44174449) is required when installing the
Sensitive element. This tool is included in the Gyro packaging, and the
Sensitive element should not be installed without using this tool.
Caution! Use extreme caution when handling the Sensitive element! Do not tilt the
element. It is filled with oil and the top includes a ventilation opening.

the rubber tube on top of the element.

Sensitive element has to be sent to factory for service!

carefully put the Sensitive element into the ring.
