THEORY OF OPERATION
Heading Sensor Functions
The Minn Kota Heading Sensor provides boat heading information to Bluetooth compatible Minn Kota trolling motors with Advanced
GPS Navigation. It contains a compass that senses the boat's heading. The boat heading is used by the system for navigation features
such as Spot-Lock Jog. The Heading Sensor does not contain a GPS receiver and it does not change or control the orientation of the
boat. The Minn Kota Heading Sensor can only communicate with other Bluetooth compatible Minn Kota products.
The Heading Sensor should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the
boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you
suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
Do not install the Heading Sensor near ferrous metals or near anything that may create a magnetic field or interference. The Heading
Sensor must be installed at least 24" from magnetic or ferrous materials on the boat including the base of the motor. Installation near
the motor lead wires must also be avoided due to magnetic fields being created during high current draw situations.
MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
Before mounting your Heading Sensor, give consideration to
the following:
1.
The Heading Sensor contains a compass that detects a
magnetic field. Do not install the Heading Sensor near
ferrous metals or wires that handle large currents, such
as batteries or power cables.
2.
Mount the Heading Sensor in an area that has a clear line of communication with the head of the motor that is installed with a
Bluetooth compatible Minn Kota Advanced GPS Navigation for optimum performance.
