WP32 Wheelpilot

E04596

3.3 Using an external compass

Normally, the accurate operation of a self-contained autopilot

is very difficult on a ferrous hulled boat (steel, ferro cement,

etc), as the hull will affect the bearing read by the internal flux-

gate compass.

Although the Wheelpilot operates using its inbuilt fluxgate

compass, it will give priority to an external SimNet compass if

detected on the network bus.

On a steel or ferro hulled boat, the correct location for the

external compass would be on the mast, between 1 and 2

metres above the deck (Fig 3.3). On a non-ferrous hulled boat,

the compass should be situated low down, as near the centre

point of the boat as possible. but away from any sources of

magnetic interference such as speakers, etc.
