However, the Autohelm policy of continuous improvement and updating may change product specifications without prior notice. [. . . ] There are no user serviceable parts in any Autohelm product. t Voltage drops below 10v in the power supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment but will cause the loss of some information and can change the operating mode. This most frequently happens during engine starting, and so to reduce the risk of this occurring, it is recommended that the equipment is supplied from a different battery than the one used for engine start. t Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/ connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment. t Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc. t In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting, or momentarily result in faulty operation. Please keep these notes for future reference. Chapter 2: Installation 9 Chapter 2: Installation This chapter covers installation of the fluxgate compass and the display head. Please read these instructions thoroughly before you attempt to install the display head and fluxgate compass. 2. 1 Compass Installation Options The ST30 Compass can be used in one of the following ways: t as a stand alone system comprising of display head and fluxgate compass with an independent power supply.

The compass should also be as close to the pitch and roll centre of the vessel as possible and sited (at least 0. 8m) away from iron masses that cause deviation. Chapter 2: Installation 11 X Y 0. 3L to 0. 5L L X Y 0. 3L to 0. 5L L D194-1 1. With a hand bearing compass fixed to the proposed bulkhead, turn your vessel through 360° and check that the difference between the hand bearing compass and the ships compass does not exceed 10° on any heading. If difference does exceed 10° you will have to select a new location. Once you have selected a suitable location, attach the fluxgate compass to the bulkhead using the four self-tapping screws provided. Make sure that the fluxgate compass is correctly orientated. That is, the arrow and the word UP embossed into the compass flange is pointing skywards and the top of the flange is level - the fluxgate compass will not operate if it is installed incorrectly.
