KEYPAD AND DISPLAY
The keypad and display shown below are the user interface to the Model 7000 Gyro and should
be mounted at the primary helm station. They are used to start, operate, monitor and shutdown the
Gyro. Sensors, alarms and shutdowns are provided to allow unattended operation however the
gyro is a high-speed machine and special attention should be paid to vibration and noise as the first
hint of a mechanical problem may show this way.
The display provides the user with status information such as bearing, motor and drive
temperatures, motor current, vacuum pressure, boat motion and gyro gimbal angle. The display
also provides information in the event of an alarm or shutdown.
