AV-Mag external magnetometer is a 3-axis electronic compass. AV-Mag precisely measures the earth’s magnetic field and aids the AV-30 directional heading measurement, improving long-term accuracy and consistency. |
Easy to install, a must for the AV30.

I purchased an AV30 EXP a while ago. I guess I didn’t closely read the specs. My version didn’t have an internal magnetometer some did but evidently didn’t work well in some installations due to local magnetic fields. The result was no slaving os the compass. I am not putting a wet compass in the plane so I want two independent compass sources. The AV30 as planned as the backup compass. This is an inexpensive fix. The three wires interface is simple to run and will let me located far from sources of magnetic fields

This unit does not come with enough wire to complete the installation. It requires a 4-conductor shielded cable, which isnt included, and the documentation. The installation instructions assume an aluminum structure, not a tube-and-fabric.

The Av-Mag seems to have solved the DG drift issues I was having. It’s nice to have the AI & the DG agree. Would give higher rating but I’m still testing settings & recalibrating.
