Page 3: Description
Installation Mounting The A4032 is fixed to the base of the ship’s compass using the fixing holes shown in the data sheet. The cable hangs down directly from the labelled side of the housing. It does not matter which way it faces as the azimuth can be set to North at any time. -

‘noise’ from a switching power supply. But this is unlikely as the A4032 will be mounted on a fixed compass which should have been sited correctly. -
Page 5: Compass To A Pc Serial Port
2.3.2 Compass to a PC serial port In many cases the wires can be joined directly as shown in Fig 2. Alternatively use the Autonnic A3036 serial interface unit. 1 +8-30V POWER SOURCE COM PORT D CONNECTOR 7 GND 5 GND... - Page 6 Hardware notes: 1 The A4032 is to be attached to a magnetic compass which itself can be rotated while the A4032 does not move relative to the compass so that, at all times, the A4032 data represents the angle of the magnet of the Compass.
- Page 7 Close the port (but leave the program running) and open the Calibration Tool V1.02. Open the correct comm port to connect. Then adjust the Compass so the needle is at 0.0 and adjust the A4032 by rotating it so it too reads 0.0. Then press...
- Page 8 When the button says ‘Calibrate 360’ DO NOT press it but close the com port with [Close com port]. On the Autonnic Factory Utility V1.12 screen reconnect the port. Then press [SCV] to transfer the points to the internal calibration tables within the A4032.
