Caution!
Due to condition “4”, we advice to arrange a service for a
routine check during the next port stay to be on safe side.
-- Switch off the compass and wait approx. 15 minutes (otherwise the gyrosphere can
be damaged).
-- Open the door of the compass housing, paying attention to the earthing strip.
-- Place both hands under 2 of the 4 snap closures and release them by pressing with
the thumbs.
-- Remove all connections/cables that lead to the outer sphere and note their location.
-- Carefully turn the outer sphere through 90
and repeat the process with the other two
snap closures. The outer sphere is now free and can be removed.
-- Still holding the outer sphere with both hands, lower it slightly (this releases the
locking device), carefully remove it from the compass enclosure and set it down.
-- Open the ventilation outlet (Figure 15
/1)
, the supporting liquid screw (Figure 15
/3)
and the distilled water screw ( Figure 15
/2)
.
-- Fill in distilled water (
only
distilled water from Raytheon Anschütz,
part number 148--398, one 230cm
3
bottle) into the inlet for
supporting liquid until the measuring cone shows “Level O.K.”, see Figure 16 .
-- Fill in the remaining content of the bottle into the inlet for distilled water until the
Dip--Stick shows a level according to Figure 17 .
-- Close all in-- and outlets, if applicable use new sealing rings.
-- Place the outer sphere in the compass enclosure.
--
Pay attention to the two locking pins on the
closure.
-- Hold the outer sphere with both hands and guide it under the snap closures on the
pendulum joint.
-- Using the thumbs, press down and engage the two snap closures.
-- Carefully turn the outer sphere through 90
and repeat the process with the other two
snap closures. The outer sphere is now fastened to the pendulum joint.
-- Fix all connections/cables that lead to the outer sphere as notes before.
-- Close the door of the enclosure and fasten it with screws, paying attention to the
earthing strip.
-- When the power supply is switched on, the compass is ready for use again.
Run the heating and settling in stages as described in section 2.1.
