chartplotter. If these options are not available, you must align

the heading by adjusting the sensor installation manually to

point the arrow parallel to the front of the boat.

Mounting the Sensor

You can mount the sensor with the cable along the mounting

surface or with the cable routed through the mounting surface

under the sensor.

Select a mounting location (Mounting Considerations,

page 1).

If you plan to route the cable through the mounting surface,

use a 25 mm (1 in.) drill bit to drill the cable-passthrough hole

into the mounting surface at the selected mounting location.

If necessary, route the cable through the cable passthrough

hole.

Using a bit appropriate for the mounting surface and

mounting hardware, drill two pilot holes (optional).

Secure the sensor to the mounting surface, observing these

guidelines for best performance:

• If you are using your own mounting hardware instead of

the included screws, test the hardware for magnetic

interference (Mounting Considerations, page 1).

• Do not use excessive force when installing mounting

screws. Use only the amount of force needed to keep the

sensor in place.

• Apply force evenly between the mounting screws.

• Install the mounting screws perpendicular to the mounting

surface (not at an angle). The heads of the screws should

rest in the center of the grooves.

Route the cable to the NMEA 2000 network.

If you routed the cable through the mounting surface, fill the

cable hole in the side of the sensor with marine sealant

(optional).

NMEA 2000 Connection Considerations

• This sensor connects to an existing NMEA 2000 network on

your boat.

• If the integrated NMEA 2000 drop cable is not long enough to

reach your NMEA 2000 network, a drop cable extension of

up to 4 m (13 ft.) can be used, according to the NMEA 2000

guidelines.

Item Description

Heading sensor

NMEA 2000 power cable (existing; not included)

Ignition or in-line switch (existing; not included)

12 Vdc power source

NMEA 2000 T-connector (included)

NMEA 2000 terminator or backbone cable (existing; not included)

Calibration

After installation is complete, you must calibrate the heading

sensor for best results. Depending on the types of devices

connected to the NMEA 2000 network, you can calibrate the

sensor using either a menu-based method or a basic method.

When you connect the sensor to the same NMEA 2000 network

as a compatible Garmin chartplotter, you are prompted to begin

menu-based calibration when the chartplotter detects the new

sensor (Performing Menu-Based Calibration, page 2). Go to

www.garmin.com for a list of compatible chartplotters.

NOTE: A software update available in mid-2017 enables you to

perform menu-based calibration using a compatible chartplotter.

If your chartplotter has software that predates this update, you

must perform basic calibration.

If you connect the sensor to a NMEA 2000 network without a

compatible Garmin chartplotter, you must perform basic

calibration instead of menu-based calibration (Performing Basic

Calibration, page 3).

Performing Menu-Based Calibration

Before you can perform menu-based calibration, you must

connect the sensor to the same NMEA 2000 network as a

compatible Garmin chartplotter.

If the sensor has not been calibrated successfully, a message

appears each time you turn on a compatible Garmin chartplotter.

From the sensor calibration screen, select Compass Cal..

TIP: You can open the calibration page at any time by

selecting the device from Menu > Settings >

Communications > NMEA 2000 Devices.

Select Begin.

Follow the on-screen instructions until the compass

calibration is complete, taking care to keep the boat as

steady and level as possible.

The boat should not list during calibration.

If possible, you can turn the vessel in place by engaging two

engines in opposite directions.

When the compass calibration is complete, a value appears

near the Compass Cal. setting. A value near 100 indicates

the sensor was installed in a perfect magnetic environment

and calibrated correctly. If the heading performance is

unacceptable, and the value is closer to 0 than it is to 100,

you might need to relocate the sensor and calibrate the

compass again.

Select Auto Heading Alignment.

NOTE: Auto Heading Alignment is available only if there is a

GPS source connected to the NMEA 2000 network. If you do

not have a GPS source connected, you must perform the

Fine Heading Alignment instead (Adjusting the Fine Heading

Alignment, page 2).

Select Begin.

Follow the on-screen instructions until the alignment is

complete.

Adjusting the Fine Heading Alignment

If you do not have a GPS source connected to the NMEA 2000

network, Auto Heading Alignment is not available as part of

menu-based calibration, and you must adjust the Fine Heading

Alignment instead.

You can adjust the Fine Heading Alignment in conjunction with

Auto Heading Alignment to fine-tune the heading output

(optional).

From the sensor calibration screen, select Fine Heading

Alignment.

Using a landmark or a known good compass, determine the

heading of your boat.

Adjust the heading until it matches your measurement.
