Site Preparation
The Lodestar 500 can be installed in any convenient orientation with respect to the vessel’s body
frame. You can compensate for any misalignment between the Lodestar 500 and the vessel by
carefully measuring the mounting angles and entering them in the AHRS or SPRINT software; refer
to
Section 4.5 “Vehicle Alignment”
.
