Description

The system configuration can easily be adapted to each vessel’s specifications.
IEC 61162-2 high-speed code is available for the heading and rate of turn (ROT) outputs.
A unique anti-vibration system enhanced by the velocity damping effect of high viscous oil, provides superior damping of vibration and decoupling of shock at sea.
A small and lightweight container enhances the follow up speed. The gyrocompass changes smoothly and does not lag when a small vessel rapidly changes course.
A space-saving design: the master compass and the control box can be installed on the autopilot stand.
Automatic speed error correction is possible if both the ship’s speed signal from the speed log and the latitude signal from a GPS or some other positioning device is available. Further, the latitude can be estimated from the ship’s speed and the gyrocompass reading if the positioning device signal is absent.
An external heading signal from an instrument such as a magnetic compass or a GPS compass can be passed to repeater compasses and other ship equipment for back-up purposes.
As a standard function, a built-in monitor detects deviations between the master compass and external sensor heading readings.
The restart time can be preset from 1 to 99 hours.
Bridge Alert Management System (BAMS) interface function based on IEC62288 Ed.2.
