mounting location. As the heading is displayed on the AP25 
Control Unit, the heading sensor can be mounted at a remote 
location.  
The RC36 rate compass also contains a magnetic heading sensor, 
so particular attention must be paid to the location. It can be 
mounted on deck or bulkhead, athwartship or alongship and has 
a 15 m (99’) cable with a Robnet2 connector. The heading offset 
feature in the AP25 will compensate for the mechanical offsets 
that may be a result of the selected location and orientation of the 
RC36. 
If the RC36 is deck or bulkhead mounted athwartship with the 
cable gland pointing aft, little if any offset correction is required. 
With the cable gland pointing forward a 180° correction is 
required. 
When mounting RC36 on a bulkhead alongship, a +90° or  –90° 
correction is needed dependent on whether it is port or starboard 
bulkhead. 

Note ! 

Offset correction is performed after the calibration (see 
paragraph 4.7). 
Find a location that provides a solid mounting place free from 
vibration, and as close to the vessel's centre of roll and pitch as 
possible, i.e. close to the water line. It should be as far as 
possible from disturbing magnetic influences such as the engines 
(min. 2 meters), engine ignition cables, other large metal objects 
and particularly the drive unit. On steel hull boats it should be 
mounted 0,75-1 m above the wheel house on a non magnetic 
stand. 
Use the supplied mounting kit and drill the holes through the 
centre of the slots in the sensor or the mounting brackets.
