Page 10: Mounting The Sshs
Solid State Heading Sensor (SSHS) Owner’s Manual Mounting the SSHS The SSHS compass can be mounted to any horizontal surface, such as a floor or deck, or to a vertical surface, such as a wall or bulkhead. Mounting the SSHS to a Vertical Surface Mounting the SSHS compass to a vertical surface requires that the provided mounting brackets be fastened to the side of the SSHS using the provided brass flat head screws. -
Page 11: Mounting The Sshs To A Horizontal Surface
Once the mounting brackets are securely fastened to the bottom of the SSHS, attach the SSHS securely to the vessel using the included brass mounting screws or other non-ferrous fasteners, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4—Mounting the SSHS to a Horizontal Surface Jeppesen Marine... -
Page 12: Connecting The Sshs
You have a choice of connecting the SSHS to an NMEA 0183 interface, NMEA 2000 interface, or connecting to both interfaces simultaneously. Attention: At the time of this printing, Jeppesen Marine does not support connection to an NMEA 2000 interface. While this manual describes how to make this connection, you will not be able to receive technical support for this interface. - Page 13 The SSHS is designed to allow you to plug into or unplug from an NMEA 2000 network while the network is powered on or off. Tip: Always follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000 network products. Jeppesen Marine does not provide technical support for the NMEA 2000 interface as of this printing. Jeppesen Marine...
- Page 14 ONLY through the NMEA 2000 network. Checking Connections Once the NMEA 2000 and / or NMEA 0183 connections to the Nobeltec SSHS have been completed, verify that the heading information is being properly transmitted by observing an appropriate display. (See Page 19 – Troubleshooting).

B). These direct-access methods provide an indication of success or failure and the causes of failure, when applicable. Note: Jeppesen Marine does not provide technical support for the NMEA 2000 interface as of this printing. Each of these three methods require that the vessel be turned in successive circles, during which time the SSHS uses the changing heading information and readings from the angular rate sensor to calculate hard and soft iron magnetic deviation(s). -

Appendix B) interfaces can perform Installation-Offset Correction directly through those interfaces. These direct-access methods provide an indication of success or failure and the causes of failure, when applicable. Note: Jeppesen Marine does not provide technical support for the NMEA 2000 interface as of this printing. -

See Page 16 for details on choosing a specific variation source when more than one variation source is available. Note: Jeppesen Marine does not provide technical support for the NMEA 2000 interface as of this printing. Variation Input via NMEA 0183 Interface As shipped from the factory, the SSHS automatically looks for variation data coming from the NMEA 0183 interface. -

Page 20: Rate Of Turn
Solid State Heading Sensor (SSHS) Owner’s Manual RATE OF TURN Rate of Turn Damping Period Selection by NMEA 0183 Interface The SSHS is capable of measuring a vessel’s rate of turn and outputting the information over both the NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 interfaces. Furthermore, the SSHS has a programmable damping period where the filter time can be increased for very slow turning vessels such as tugs pushing barges. -
Page 21: Periodic Maintenance
Periodically check and tighten the mounting screws (if loose), and repeat the magnetic deviation calibration and installation-offset correction. • Check the security of the cables connected to the NMEA 0183 and / or NMEA 2000 interfaces and tighten if necessary. Jeppesen Marine... -

SSHS will expose the sensitive electronic components to movement and adverse environmental conditions that may render the compass inoperative. Please do not open the SSHS, as this will automatically void the warranty. If service is required, please return the unit to an authorized Jeppesen Marine service location (see Page 38). -
