Mikrokompass

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

A unique tactical mode for simplified wind shift detection.Two 20 mm displays offering excellent readability, even in demanding sailing conditions.Solar power ensuring extended autonomy without requiring wiring.A start timer with resynchronization function, adjustable up to 20 minutes.A portable and rugged design with a clip-on bracket, allowing quick installation and removal.Waterproofing rated for submersion up to 10 meters.

The tactical mode of the Micro Compass T060 is a key feature designed to simplify wind shift detection when sailing close-hauled. 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 operation after just two days of full sun exposure. To conserve power, 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 supplied snap-on bracket allows for easy installation on a dashboard or a Tacktick mount. 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 up to 10 meters depth. 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 the increase in light level 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 goes blank. Note that the Micro Compass also turns off automatically after 7 minutes if no movement is detected, except at sea.

Yes, the Micro Compass T060 integrates an easy-to-use and flexible starting chronometer 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 chronometer to the nearest minute. Once the countdown is complete, the compass returns to the mode it was using before the chronometer 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 avoid damage and ensure it remains off, always store it in its soft pack when not in use.
