mounting location

Point™-1AP™ and Precision™-9

The compasses contain a magnetic heading sensor and should not

be mounted close to any potential magnetic source. They should be

mounted as close to the vessel’s centre of roll and pitch as possible.

Refer to Technical specications (section 1).

Potential sources for magnetic/electromagnetic interference include:

• Electrical motors, magnets and moving metal items

• Outboard engines

• High current electrical sources such as main power cables,

batteries, and distribution panels

The Point™-1AP™ compass also comes with a GPS antenna and

should be mounted as far away as possible from disturbing magnetic/

electromagnetic interferences.

If mounting the Point™-1AP™ on or above a hard top, beware of audio

speakers which may be mounted in the deckhead. Speakers can be a

strong source of magnetic interference.

Compatibility information

The hydraulic kit comes with both 1/4 NPT 9/16 UNF ttings and ORB

ttings, which make them ideally suited for the following steering

systems:

• Teleex™ SeaStar® HC5345, HC5347, HC5348, HC5358.

• Teleex™ BayStar® HC4600, HC4645, HC4647, HC4648, HC4658.

• Hynautic® K6 Steering rams.

• Steering rams from Vetus®, Uex®, and Lecomble & Schmitt™.

¼Note: Newer SeaStar®/BayStar® helm pumps require the use of ORB

ttings (supplied in the kit).

WIRING: Wiring diagram

14 15

Activate Power Steer mode.

Press and hold the arrow keys/buttons on the Autopilot controller in

steps less than 3 seconds at a time, until the cylinder reaches max travel

in both directions.

Continue to run the pump in both directions until no air bubbles are

left in the transparent tube.

IMPORTANT: Check uid level

MOUNTING: Bleed the hand steering

Turn the wheel until the cylinder reaches max travel in both directions,

and rell oil.

Keep turning and relling oil until the oil level is stable and the

outboard engine responds rmly.

If air bubbles remain in the system, follow the bleeding procedure

described for the outboard cylinder.

¼Note: It is recommended to use a threaded ller tube if available.
