The Clipper Compass is a fully electronic
compass with remote fluxgate sensor. The large clear display
has 7 levels of illumination and gives True or magnetic heading.
The sensor which is gimballed for plus/minus 45 degrees of pitch
and roll, is mounted in a position where stray magnetic fields
are at a minimum. An electronic auto calibration then cancels
out small errors.
Steer to Course Function -
When the steering function is selected a series of chevrons accumulate
showing the magnitude and direction of the steering error. To
stay on course simply turn the wheel in the direction of the
chevrons until they are extinguished. The steering sensitivity
can be preset by the user. An off course alarm provides a safety
feature when not at the helm. If the heading deviates by more
than a preset amount then the alarm will sound.
