Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Design and Main Features
The NAVIGAT X MK 1 is a microprocessor controlled marine gyrocom-
pass system with integrated automatic North speed error correction.
As a gyrocompass, the system complies with IMO resolutions A.424(IX)
and A.694(17) and with EN ISO 8728.
The HSC-version (stock no. 74811) with a specially selected gyrosphere
also complies with IMO resolution A.821(19).
The rate of turn output of the NAVIGAT X MK 1 complies with IMO reso-
lution A.526(13).
The NAVIGAT X MK 1 has been type approved by the German Federal
Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH), in accordance with the
Marine Equipment Directive (MED) 96/98/EC, as modified by Directive
2002/75/EC.
The single unit design with a polyurethane hard foam housing allows
the gyrocompass to be installed on any bridge. If required, the operating
unit may be installed at a location remote from the compass or an addi-
tional remote operating unit may be used.
The unique method of supporting the gyrosphere by means of mere
buoyancy ensures North stabilisation during short power failures. E.g.,
after a three minute loss of power, no more than two degrees of devia-
tion may be expected. Once power has been restored, the gyrocompass
will return quickly to the correct heading. The combined effects of the
twin rotors and the liquid damping system virtually eliminate latitude
error.
Heading is measured as a 13-bit absolute value with a digital shaft
encoder. The high-speed follow-up system (follow-up speed up to
100°/s) ensures that accurate heading and rate of turn data is provided
under all operating conditions.
Integrated monitoring of the supply powers, gyroscope current and the
follow-up system ensure secure and trouble-free operation.
