Page 6: Choosing The Mounting Location
Choosing the Mounting Location For accurate readings, selecting the best location for the sensor is very important. It can be mounted on either a vertical or a horizontal surface. Choose a location that balances the requirements below. • Mount the Heading Sensor as close to the boat’s center of gravity as possible. The lower it can be mounted, the more stable it will be, thus giving more accurate compass readings. -
Page 7: Installing
CAUTION: Mount the sensor near the center of gravity of the boat and reasonably level with the waterline for accurate pitch and roll readings. IMPORTANT: Plan the cable route between the sensor and the Humminbird ® Multi-Function Display and/or network before beginning the installation. - Page 8 Preparing the Sensor WARNING: Do not use the studs if there is any danger that a person may be injured by the protruding metal. 1. Remove the label from over the sensor’s socket (part A) (see Figure 2). 2. There are two ways to attach the sensor to the bracket. Choose either a or b. a.

Page 15: Calibrating The Compass
Calibrating the Compass WARNING: The internal compass may need to be calibrated on the water after the sensor is installed. Perform the pretest to determine if calibration is necessary. CAUTION: The Pretest and AutoCalibration Procedures must be done in calm seas in a 0.8 km (0.5 mile) open area away from other boats and ferrous objects such as structures and aids to navigation. -
Page 16: Maintenance
Maintenance CAUTION: Do not disassemble the sensor. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Removing the screws from the sensor (part A) will damage the waterproof seal, thus voiding the warranty. CAUTION: Do not immerse in water or pressure wash. Doing so may allow water to infiltrate the sensor, voiding the warranty.
