Safety instructions
Please respect all instructions of this manual.
All texts marked with this symbol should have your
particular attention.
They are indications of particular importance for the
operation of the system and for your safety.
The use of the compass system does not relieve you of the responsibili-
ty for your ship, and requires good seamanship.
Always rely on your nautical experience for the interpretation of the indi-
cated values.
Safety Instructions concerning the installation:
The compass system should be installed by your shipyard or by a spe-
cialist.
Use adequate working clothes if you install it yourself. Avoid loose clo-
thing. Use a hair net if you have long hair. Clothing and hair may be
caught by moving parts.
Remove all metallic or electrically conducting jewelry, such as chains,
bracelets, rings, etc. when working on the on-board electrical system.
Disconnect the minus polarity of the battery before starting your work to
prevent the risk of a short-circuit. Short-circuits can cause harness fires,
battery explosions and damages of other electronic memory systems.
Please note that all volatile electronic memories will lose their contents,
and will have to be re-programmed if you disconnect the battery.
VDO instruments are not equipped with volatile memories.
Risk of explosion! Run the engine blower for a certain time before star-
ting work in a gasoline engine compartment.
Check for sufficient clearance behind the mounting hole when selecting
the location for the indicating instrument. Pre-drill the hole and finish with
hole or keyhole saw (respect the safety instructions of the tool manufac-
turer).

Check that no stringers are damaged when selecting the location for the
sensor installation. Check for furniture, floor boards, boxes, cables, etc.
Solvent vapors may be produced when working with sealants. Provide
sufficient ventilation. Respect the recommendations given by the sealant
manufacturer.
Use insulated tools if you must work without disconnecting the power
supply.
The electrical connections of the compass indicating instrument and the
cables connected to the unit must be protected against direct contact or
damage.
Capacitors in the equipment could still be charged, even if the power
supply of the unit has been disconnected.
Use cables with sufficient insulation thickness or voltage rating, and pro-
tect the connections against direct contact.
Electrically conducting parts of the connected consumers shall also be
protected against direct contact by adequate measures. The use of non-
insulated wires and contacts is strictly forbidden.
Safety instructions concerning the maintenance:
Repairs of the compass system components shall only be made by spe-
cialists authorized by VDO Kienzle. The VDO Compass meets the corre-
sponding safety regulations.

The indicating functions of the VDO Compass
The indicating instrument displays the following course information
when the power is switched on:
1.
Course indication
mode
The display indicates the steered course (267° in the example).
The pointer is in “OFF” position and has no function.
or
2.
Desired course with deviation
The display continuously indicates the desired course.
This course indication (270° in the example) is preceded by a „S“.
At the same time the pointer indicates the deviation from the desi-
red course (3° port in this case).
The indication corresponds to the active mode (1 or 2) when the power
supply was shut off.
The pushbutton toggles between both indicating modes.
The indicating instrument must be in course indication mode to indicate
a specific course as the desired course.
Set the ship to the desired course and push the button. The current
course is stored as the desired course, and the pointer moves to center
position (deviation 0°).
Each deviation from the desired course is indicated by the analog poin-
ter (3° port in this case).
