Installation of the compass sensor
Using the fluxgate principle the terrestrial magnetic field direction and
strength are measured by two crossed coils. In the case of hulls made of
wood, reinforced polyester, Kevlar or aluminium the sensor can be in-
stalled in the hull; in the case of steel or steel-reinforced concrete the
probe must be installed at least 1 m above deck, but not higher then 5 m.
When installing the sensor check for sufficient distance to fi-
xed metal parts, electrical cables and other objects creating
magnetic fields.
Check for sufficient distance to all portable disturbance sour-
ces, such as cans, pans, radios, mobile phones in operation,
etc.
