Mikrokompass

The Raymarine Micro Compass T060 is a standalone racing compass designed to optimize performance for lightweight sailboats and dinghies. Its main features include:

A unique tactical mode for simplified wind shift detection.Two 20 mm displays providing excellent readability, even in demanding sailing conditions.Solar power for extended battery life without requiring wiring.A start chronometer with resync function, adjustable up to 20 minutes.Portable and rugged design with a clip-on mount for quick installation and removal.Waterproofing rated to 10 meters submersion.

The tactical mode of the Micro Compass T060 is a key feature designed to simplify wind shift detection during close-hauled sailing. It applies a half-tack angle offset to the port and starboard displays. This allows you to read a constant value on both tacks, making it easier to quickly identify lifts or headers and helping you decide the optimal time to tack.

The Micro Compass T060 is powered by a unique solar system that ensures extended battery life and eliminates the need for wiring. The battery provides 200 hours of autonomy after just two full days of sun exposure. To conserve energy, the compass automatically shuts off after 7 minutes if no movement is detected.

To ensure the accuracy of the Micro Compass T060, it must be mounted within 20 degrees of vertical. The provided clip-on bracket allows easy installation on a dashboard or a Tacktick bracket. It is critical not to install the compass within 0.6 meters (2 feet) of any magnetic object, including a conventional compass, as this could cause deviation errors.

Yes, the Micro Compass T060 is fully waterproof and submersible to a depth of 10 meters. Its sealed and robust design makes it perfectly suited for marine environments.

To turn on the compass, simply remove it from its soft pack, as it responds to increased light levels on its solar cell. If the device is already out of its case, you can turn it on by covering the solar cell with your hand, then uncovering it. To turn off the compass, first place it back in its soft pack to prevent any reactivation by ambient light. Then, press and hold the "mode" button for 2 seconds until the display turns off. Note that the Micro Compass also automatically turns off after 7 minutes if no movement is detected, except at sea.

Yes, the Micro Compass T060 integrates an easy-to-use and flexible starting timer capable of handling various starting sequences. It can be set up to 20 minutes ahead and features a resynchronization function. If the initial starting signal is not accurate, you can press the "set" button at any subsequent signal to automatically resynchronize the timer to the nearest minute. Once the countdown is complete, the compass returns to the mode it was in before the timer was started.

The Micro Compass T060 is a fully sealed device and is not repairable. Any attempt to disassemble it, other than as described in the user manual, will void the warranty. To clean it, use only a soft, damp cloth. Never use detergents, solvents, or abrasive products. To prevent damage and ensure it remains off, always store it in its soft pack (soft case) when not in use.
