Choosing the Mounting Location

For accurate readings, selecting the best location for the sensor is very important.

It can be mounted on either a vertical or a horizontal surface. Choose a location

that balances the requirements below.

• Mount the sensor as close to the vehicle/boat’s center of gravity as possible.

The lower it can be mounted, the more stable it will be, thus giving more

accurate compass readings.

• Mount near the center of the vehicle/boat’s fore-aft axis. This will give more

accurate pitch and roll readings. Avoid the areas near the front/bow and the

rear/stern.

• To prevent interference to the internal magnetic compass, mount the sensor:

- A minimum of 0.3m (1') from other standard and steering compasses.

- Away from any structures or equipment that contains ferrous metals.

- Away from anything that may create a magnetic field such as: magnetized

materials, electric motors, electronic equipment, engines, generators, power/

ignition cables, and batteries. For distances, follow the respective

manufacturer’s recommendations.

- Do not install within a steel vehicle/boat (magnetic material).

• Choose a surface with minimal vibration for more stable data.

• Mount reasonably level (with the waterline on a boat) for accurate pitch and roll

readings.
