Option 2 - Mounting the Sensor to a Vertical Surface
1. Choose a mounting location based upon the
guidelines in “
Choosing the Best Location for the
GyroTrac Sensor” on page 14
.
2. The module must be oriented so that the forward
reference on the end cap is pointed forward and
parallel to the vessel’s fore-and-aft axis (see
Figure 2-11 on page 20). The brackets are designed
so that the sensor module may be mounted
perpendicular or parallel to the mounting surface,
as pictured in Figure 2-13.
3. The module must be level with the vessel’s deck.
You may fine-tune this placement using the
ADCU’s pitch and roll data. Adjust the brackets so
that the pitch and roll are 0 (zero) when the vessel
is docked and under normal load.
4. When choosing a location for the unit, make
certain that there is sufficient overhead clearance
for both brackets
and
the sensor module.
5. Using the holes in the vertical sensor bracket as a
template, mark locations for the four mounting
screws. Center punch and drill the four holes with
a
