Figure 2-9 Mounting
The heading sensor is the
most important part of the autopilot system and great
care should be taken when deciding the mounting
location. As the heading is displayed on the control unit,
the heading sensor can be mounted at a remote location.
The compass can be mounted on deck or bulkhead,
athwart ship or along ship. Some of the products
connected to the SimNet network may have a heading
offset feature. This will compensate for the mechanical
offsets that may be a result of the selected location and
orientation of the compass.
