INSTALLATION

MOUNTING OPTIONS
There are two options to install the Heading Sensor. Determine if the Power Cable for the Heading Sensor will pass below the mounting
surface.
1. Access under the Mounting Location - When installing the Heading Sensor with this option, the Power Cables that come from the
Heading Sensor will pass through the mounting surface. Only choose this option when the cables can be accessed after they are
passed through the mounting surface. Follow the instructions in the Installation for Access Under the Mounting Location section of this
instruction sheet.
2. No Access under the Mounting Location - The Power Cables for the Heading Sensor will be routed to the side because there is no room
under the mounting location for the cables to pass, or the area below the mounting location is not accessible. Follow the instructions in
the Installation for No Access Under the Mounting Location section of this instruction sheet.
It is important to review the mounting considerations and test run the Power Cable before installation.

ITEM(S) NEEDED
a. Review the Mounting Considerations and then set
the Heading Sensor (Item #2) flat on the selected
mounting location and note the placement.
b. Lift the Heading Sensor away and mark a point
with an awl or similar marking tool beneath the
mounting location for the power cable to pass
through the surface.
c. Using a drill with a 1/4" bit, drill a hole through the
mounting location.
d. Route the power cable through the drilled hole and
feed the cable all the way through until the Heading
Sensor sits flat on the mounting location and the
cable is completely threaded through the drill hole.
