The steering repeater, type 5016-CB, and the magnetic heading repeater,
type 5016-CC; are supplied with four attachment columns and mounting
clamps for installation in a standard Sperry Marine console frame or
directly into a console cutout.

ing into the console as per dimension drawing 5016-0112-02.
To install the repeater in a console frame:

mounting clamps inward.
2. Connect the repeater cable to the shipside terminals as per the wir-
ing diagrams and connection drawings provided.
3. Install a ground strap between the ground tab at the back of the
repeater housing and ship’s ground.
4. In case a custom configuration is required, configure the repeater
now using the SUSI application (see chapter 6, ‘Configuration”).
5. Insert the repeater into the frame.
6. Rotate the mounting clamps outward and fasten them with the
retaining screws.
7. Power up the compass system and carry out a full functional test of
the repeater.
CAUTION

The compass repeaters are heavy instruments. The compass repeater
cables are not designed for holding the repeater just with the cable.
Never hold or transport the repeater on the cable alone when installing
or wearing a compass repeater.
