🔌 Function

The compass measures vessel heading and movement so the autopilot can compare actual course with commanded course and make steering corrections.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Autopilot cannot acquire or hold heading
• Heading displayed at the helm is incorrect or unstable
• Compass calibration repeatedly fails
• Network does not detect the sensor
• Magnetic interference or water damage affects the compass

🛠️ Service Notes

• The kit bundles more than the compass head: a Multiflex cable (3886666), an NMEA 2000 power cable (21812205), an NMEA 2000 T-connector (21812195) and a 2 m NMEA cable (21812194) are all included — if only a cable or connector needs renewing after fitting, order that item alone rather than the whole kit again
• Mount it well clear of speakers, large ferrous masses and any other compass, and run the calibration procedure for your EVC generation once it is wired in
