Features
The main features of the system are:
- Performance in accordance with IMO A.424(XI), A.694(17) and ISO 8728
- MED (Wheelmark) approval
- Comprises one single unit
- Power supply: two independent 24 VDC inputs
- Control and display unit (not removable) in front cover with 4-digit heading display and six operating keys
- Heading accuracy
- Static <0.1° secant latitude
- Dynamic <0.4° secant latitude
- Settle point error <0.1° secant latitude
- Automatic static north speed error correction - no extra unit required
- Rate-of-turn output
- High speed transmission and follow-up system 100° / sec
- Highly accurate heading data transmission by means of shaft encoder
- Self-aligning repeater compasses with serial interface IEC-61162-1 / RS422
- Gyro system remains north-stabilized during power interruptions of up to three minutes
- Twin rotors (19,000 rev / min) and liquid damping system eliminate latitude error
- A ±180° electronic alignment error correction in setup program (mechanical correction is not necessary)
