[. . . ] This could cause the course computer to malfunction and will reduce the power supplied to the drive unit. Route the cables back to the course computer, taking into account the EMC installation guidelines (page 7). Install a circuit breaker or fuse on the power supply to suit the drive unit connected to your autopilot system (see Table 3-2). Attach the suppression ferrite (supplied) around both the positive and negative power cables, between the cable clamp and course computer. When you attach the ferrite, you must loop both power cables so that the ferrite encloses two passes of each cable. Secure the ferrite with the small tie-wrap (supplied).

Step 4: Install the Compass 17 Step 4: Install the Compass This section provides installation instructions for the standard Raymarine fluxgate compass (supplied in the core pack). This involves the following tasks: 4. 1 4. 2 4. 3 Select the location Mount the compass Connect to the course computer page 18 page 20 page 20 Note: This section also provides information about connecting other SeaTalk or NMEA compasses to the course computer (see page 21). Step 4 Compass description and dimensions The compass contains a self-levelling mechanism. This enables the compass to provide accurate readings with pitch and roll movements up to +/- 35°. 76 mm (3 in) 76 mm (3 in) D5381-1 Fluxgate compass dimensions Note: The rattle that the fluxgate compass makes when shaken is normal. It is caused by the pendulum weight hitting the inside of the case. 18 Type 150/400 Autopilot System: Installation Guide 4. 1 Select the location The compass is primarily designed for mounting below deck on a bulkhead. On steel-hulled boats you must mount it above deck. Standard location To achieve the best performance from the compass, mount it: · · · · Step 4 as near as possible to the boat's pitch and roll center to minimize compass disturbance at least 0. 8 m (2 ft 6 in) away from the boat's steering compass to prevent deviation of either compass away from the front third of the boat (otherwise shock motion will affect compass performance) away from potential sources of magnetic interference, such as: motors, drive units, loudspeakers, alternators/starters, electric cables, large ferrous objects (such as engines, ballast, keel, gas bottles and tool boxes) Note: Because you align the compass after installation (see the control unit handbook), you can mount it so it faces in any direction. 0. 3L to 0. 5L L 0. 3L to 0. 5L L D5382-1 Compass - recommended location for non-steel hulls Step 4: Install the Compass 19 Finding the most suitable location To identify the best compass location on your boat, start at the pitch and roll center then move the compass up and/or aft until you find a location with minimal magnetic disturbance. Note: To check if the intended mounting location is free from magnetic influence, tape a handheld compass to the chosen location, then turn the boat through 360°. The readings on the handheld compass and your boat's main steering compass (if accurately aligned) should not differ by more than10° at any heading. Steel-hulled boats On steel-hulled boats you must mount the compass at least 1 m (3 ft) above the main deck or wheelhouse. Otherwise the compass will not work correctly because the hull will prevent it from sensing the Earth's magnetic field. The following diagram shows recommended mounting positions for steel-hulled boats. Note: The higher above the waterline you mount the compass, the more the boat's pitch and roll will affect compass performance. Step 4 6 ft (1. 8 m) 4 ft (1. 2 m) 4 ft (1. 2 m) D5383-1 Compass - recommended location for steel-hulled boats 20 Type 150/400 Autopilot System: Installation Guide 4. 2 Mount the compass Ver tic al D5384-1 Fluxgate compass - orientation CAUTION: Step 4 You must mount the fluxgate compass vertically, with the cables exiting at the base. Making sure the cable exits at the bottom of the compass, secure the fluxgate compass using the self-tapping screws provided (No 8 x 3/4 in, pan-head). Note: Stick the supplied warning label near to the compass, where it is clearly visible. 4. 3 Connect to the course computer 1. Route the cable to the course computer, taking into account the EMC installation guidelines (page 7). Note: Make sure you leave some spare cable so, if necessary, you can re-position the compass to reduce deviation. If the standard cable is not long enough, your Raymarine dealer can supply a 10 m (30 ft) extension cable (part number: D174) 2. Connect the five cores of the cable to the FLUXGATE terminals on the course computer (as shown). Step 4: Install the Compass 21 Course computer terminals Red Screen Yellow Green Blue Compass cable D5385-1 4. 4 Connecting SeaTalk or NMEA compasses You can connect SeaTalk or NMEA compasses to the course computer, either to replace the fluxgate compass or provide supplementary compass signals. When you connect more than one compass to the autopilot system, the course computer processes their signals in this order of priority: 1. [. . . ] It links products to provide a single, integrated system sharing power and data. This refers to the continuous SeaTalk system connecting together a series of Raymarine units.
