7.0 Installation
7.1 Safety Note
Before commencing installation of the iGC:

Refer to Section 4.2 - Safety Notes in this manual.

All relevant parts of this section of the manual should be read and understood.
7.2 iGC Mechanical Installation
7.2.1 Introduction
When deciding where to mount the iGC, consideration should be given to:

Its location relative to magnetically active materials on the host system;

Alignment with the axes of the host system;

Stiffness of the mounting arrangement;

Collision protection.
7.2.2 Magnetic Disturbance
To reduce the effects of fixed magnetic disturbances on the iGC output, it should be mounted as far as
is practically possible from the following:

Ferrous or other magnetically active materials (including fasteners or brackets used to mount
the iGC);

Sources of electrically induced magnetic fields such as motors and transformers.

Moving equipment (e.g. manipulator arms, pan & tilt units etc.).
The iGC is more susceptible to ferrous materials underneath the assembly than from the side or
above.
7.2.3 Alignment
The electrical connector is mounted at the “rear” of the iGC. In addition, three meridian lines have
been engraved into the body of the iGC. These show the forward, port and starboard directions of the
iGC axes. (Refer to Section 7.3 Installation Drawing for details).
To maximise the accuracy of the iGC outputs, its pitch, roll and yaw axes should be aligned, as
accurately as possible, with the pitch, roll and yaw axes of the host system / vehicle.
If necessary, small corrections can be made in accordance with the commissioning and calibration
sections of this manual, provided that the existing host control system can provide this function, or the
iGC is being used with the iGC PC software, iFG or iIF.
7.2.4 Stiffness
The iGC should be rigidly mounted so that flexibility and / or system vibration does not affect the
outputs.
7.2.5 Collision Protection
To protect against accidental damage, the iGC should be mounted in a protected location. The
protection around the iGC should not be manufactured form a ferrous material.
