GyroPlus Yaw Sensor
Installing the GyroPlus
Location
Mount the GyroPlus rate sensor below deck, in a location that is:
•
vertical (see below)
•
dry
•
protected
•
free from vibration
Note: When selecting the location for the GyroPlus sensor and the
route for the cable, refer to EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility)
information supplied with course computer.
Orientation
The sensor measures the rate of turn of the boat, so it is important that
you mount it vertically with the cable exiting at the bottom of the unit
(as shown).
On sailboats, we also recommend mounting the GyroPlus across the
boat on a transverse bulkhead.
CAUTION:
For the GyroPlus to work correctly, you MUST mount it within
+/- 10º of the vertical, with the cable exiting at the base of the unit.
