Magnetic Compass · Position & Heading
AUTONAUTIC C15-00140 is a marine magnetic compass. It is normally installed on or near the bridge in a position selected to minimize magnetic disturbance and provide the required steering or bearing reference. Its primary purpose is to provide an independent heading indication using the Earth's magnetic field. Unlike gyro or satellite-based heading systems, the magnetic compass requires no electrical power for its fundamental heading function. The supplied record already contains the available concise model or rating information, so those existing figures are not duplicated here and no additional meaning is inferred from the model code. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
Every value below comes from the manufacturer datasheet or class-society record on file for this model.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Inspect bowl, liquid, card movement, lighting, mounting, corrector arrangements and surrounding magnetic environment. Compare compass headings against approved checks and maintain the vessel deviation record. Investigate equipment changes near the compass. Refer to statutory and manufacturer documentation for exact deviation and inspection criteria.
Carry approved lighting components, seals or service items where supported and ensure access to compass-adjustment equipment and documentation through qualified service providers.
