Safety Information
Caution!
Maintenance and repair work should be carried out only by trained
and qualified staff who are well versed in national safety
regulations.
After the gyro compass has been switched off it is necessary to
wait at least 15 minutes before accessing the interior of the gyro
compass.
Otherwise the sphere could be damaged!
If no Raytheon repeater compass or other alarm indication device
is connected, the warnings and error messages are only displayed
visually on the compass.
In such case, the gyro has to be installed in such a way, that the
digital display can be monitored at all times -- see installation
instruction.
If warnings occur, the operation of the gyro compass is not
restricted. If the cause of the problem is rectified quickly, it is
possible to prevent the equipment from breaking down.
Please inform the authorised service staff.
When an error message appears, the heading is no longer
displayed at the compass; the heading is not followed up at a
connected heading receiver.
The compass must be repaired by well trained stuff.
Please note that all ships of 500 gross tonnage and upwards according
to SOLAS regulations must be equipped with a gyro compass.
The gyro compass must be operational. For this reason it is not allowed
to have a switched--off gyro compass during voyages.
A switched--off gyro compass during voyages could cause damage
to the gyrosphere.
