General
This compass is designed for use as a navigation aid on board ships.
As a sensor, and unaffected by the magnetic earth field, it determines the north bearing,
and thus enables a course to be steered in relation to true north.
This compass provides course information and status signals to those responsible for
course setting.
In principle we can distinguish between two different applications for the compass:
The
STD22 Compact Compass
as a stand--alone system
and
The
STD 22 Compass
used in conjunction with other system components such as a
magnetic compass, GPS or other STD 22 gyro compasses. An Operator Unit and a
Distribution Unit are required to connect and to operate these system components.
The overview on the next page illustrates the functional differences between these two
versions.
