Bracket mounting

A Control Unit Mounting Bracket (Part No. E25009) enables you to mount your
ST60 instrument in locations where other forms of mounting are impractical.
Although this provides a useful alternative method for securing your instrument,
it is only suitable for use in positions where the instrument will not be exposed to
water.
To bracket mount your ST60 instrument, do so in accordance with the Control Unit
Mounting Bracket Instruction Sheet.

Fitting transducer

If you are fitting an ST60 Compass instrument and wish to use it as a stand alone
instrument, you need to fit a Fluxgate Compass transducer.
If the ST60 Compass instrument is to form part of a system which includes a SeaTalk
Note:
autopilot, the ST60 Compass instrument does not need its associated Fluxgate Compass
transducer to operate as a slave to the autopilot. However, if the Fluxgate Compass trans-
ducer is fitted, the instrument will operate as a master.

Installation

Determine a suitable position for the Fluxgate Compass transducer, as described
Site requirements
under
If you are not sure of the magnetic suitability of the chosen location, carry out a
survey of the site as follows:
1. Temporarily fix a simple hand bearing compass at the intended location.
2. Swing the vessel through 360° while at the same time observing differences
between the hand bearing compass and the vessel's main steering compass.
