How to Read the Heading
It should be possible to read the heading clearly from a distance of 1 m from the mirror head in the wheelhouse
at the helmsman´s position. The image has to be centric to the field of view. The figures are upright and on both
sides of the lubber mark an area of minimum 15° should be visible.
Use an illumination dimmer (as option) for brightness control to be operated from the helmsman´s position.
In case of long optical ways (long by-passes) the picture may be much smaller then the reflection mirror.

Maintenance: Clean reflection mirrors with a weak, not scratching cloth. The axles of the rotary knob have to be
oiled from time to time. Clean the lens inside the binnacle column from time to time. For this remove the
compass from the binnacle column and the lens will be seen.
