System Description 1-1
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 System Description
Intended Use
The analogue compass repeaters are remote heading indicators which
display ship’s heading (secondary heading data), provided by a con-
nected gyrocompass as active heading source (primary heading data),
and must only be operated from appropriately trained and educated
personnel familiar with all mandatory safety and operating procedures.
The prismatic azimuth device PV23 is a classified compass bearing
device designed for usage together with the bearing repeater 5016-CA.
Not Intended Use
The analogue compass repeaters are not allowed to be used for the nav-
igation of inland water vessels and river boats. Any exception to this
restriction must be regulated by specific certification of an entitled
organisation or administration, for further details see certification infor-
mation under ‘Design and Main Features” on page 1-2 and ‘Declaration
of Conformity” on page 1-15.
The magnetic heading repeater, type 5016-CC, is only classified for steer-
ing purposes in case of emergency when the gyrocompass(es) as pri-
mary heading source(s) are not available and must not be used for
navigating the vessel under normal conditions.
The telescopic alidade, stock no 60280, is not type approved as compass
bearing device, therefore it cannot be used to fulfil the carriage require-
ments.
