A compact, complete and good-value-for-money compass, with several mounting possibilities.

  • Permanent and/or detachable bracket
  • Mounts vertically, horizontally, upside down or anywhere in between
  • Gives several mounting possibilities on dashboard or on windscreen
  • Maximum tilting angle: 20o in all directions

POSITIONING:

For maximum accuracy and performance, select a location easily visible to the operator and with minimum magnetic interference.

Electric motors, stereo speakers and windshield wiper motors often cause magnetic interferences. Deviation of up to +/- 45o can be compensated for.

MOUNTING:

  • Permanent mounting
  • Detachable mounting

For use in several mounting positions, extra bracket mounting plates are available (part.no 35728-0). For easy removal, use the double sided tape.

COMPENSATION AND DEVIATION

Compensation is made with the two compensation adjuster screws "E/W" and "N/S" in order to reduce the errors caused by iron objects or other sources of magnetic disturbance. The compensation adjuster screws are situated and marked at the front ("E/W") and on the right side ("N/S") of the compass housing.

A small non-magnetic screwdriver is provided for adjusting purposes.

When compensating:

  • The vehicle should be in an area that is not affected by permanent or electromagnetic disturbances
  • Have vehicle engine running and accessories in normal operating condition.

With the adjuster screws in the neutral position and using known directions available from maps, landmarks or roads, adjust according to the instructions.
