Considerations

,&CAUTION

Do

not

install

or

store

the

sensor

near

strong

magnets,

including

speakers.

A

strong

magnetic

field

can

damage

the

sensor.

You

can

install

the

sensor

with

the

cable

either

routed

through

the

side

of

the

sensor

housing,

or

with

the

cable

routed

through

the

mounting

surface

under

the

sensor.

For

best

performance,

observe

these

considerations

when

selecting

a

mounting

location.

•

The

sensor

should

not

be

mounted

near

known

ferrous

metal

objects

such

as

a

toolbox

or

compass.

•

The

sensor

is

not

a

GPS

device,

and

is

not

required

to

have

a

clear

view

of

the

sky.

• A

handheld

compass

should

be

used

to

test

for

magnetic

interference

in

the

area

where

the

sensor

is

to

be

mounted.

Your

boat,

motors,

and

devices

must

be

on

during

the

test.

If

the

needle

on

the

handheld

compass

moves

when

you

hold

it

where

you

intend

to

mount

the

sensor,

interference

is

present.

You

must

choose

another

location

and

test

again

.

•

Mounting

screws

are

provided

with

the

sensor

.If

you

use

mounting

hardware

other

than

the

provided

screws,

the

hardware

must

be

made

of

quality

stainless

steel

or

brass

material

to

avoid

magnetic

interference

with

the

sensor.

NOTE:

Test

all

mounting

hardware

with

a

handheld

compass

to

make

sure

no

magnetic

fields

are

present

in

the

hardware

.

•

The

sensor

can

be

mounted

in

any

orientation,

and

is

not

required

to

be

installed

in

the

same

horizontal

plane

as

the

boat.

NOTE:

You

can

set

the

heading

alignment

automatically

ifa

GPS

source

is

connected

to

the

NMEA

2000

network.

If

you

are

not

using

a

compatible

Garmin

chartplotter,

the

boat

must

be

able

to

reach

a

cruising

speed

of

at

least

6.4

km/h

(4

mph}

.

You

can

set

or

fine-

tune

the

heading

alignment

using

Fine

Heading

Alignment

with

a

compatible

Gam1in

chartplotter

. If

these

options

are

not

available,

you

must

align

the

heading

by

adjusting

the

sensor

installation

manually

to

point

the

arrow

parallel

to

the

front

of

the

boat.

Mounting

the

Sensor

You

can

mount

the

sensor

with

the

cable

along

the

mounting

surface

or

with

the

cable

routed

through

the

mounting

surface

under

the

sensor.

Select

a

2 If

you

plan

to

route

the

cable

through

the

mounting

surface,

use

a

25

mm

(1

drill

bit

to

drill

the

cable-passthrough

hole

into

the

mounting

surface

at

the

selected

cable

through

the

Using

a

bit

appropriate

for

the

mounting

surface

and

,

drill

two

pilot

holes

(optional}

.

5

Secure

the

sensor

to

the

mounting

surf

ace,

observing

these

guidelines

for

best

performance

:

• If

you

are

using

your

own

mounting

hardware

instead

of

the

included

screws,

test

the

hardware

for

magnetic

interference

(page

2).

•

Do

not

use

excess

i

ve

force

when

installing

mounting

screws.

Use

on

ly

the

amount

of

force

needed

to

keep

the

evenly

between

the

Considerations

•

enough

to

reach

your

NMEA

2000

network

,a

Calibration

After

.

Depending

on

the

types

of

devices

network

,

you

can

calibrate

the

sensor

using

either

a

menu-

based

method

or

a

basic

method

.

When

you

connect

the

sensor

to
