Operating Conditions 2-1
Chapter 2: Operation
2.1 Operating Conditions
The permitted ambient temperature for the operation of the gyrocom-
pass system is between - 10° C to + 55° C.
When the ambient temperature at the gyrocompass’ location falls below
- 10° C while the compass is in operation or when the ambient tempera-
ture falls below 0° C while the compass is not in operation, the gyro-
sphere container must be removed from the compass housing and
stored in a place where the ambient temperature will not fall below 0° C.
For the service procedure see “Removing the Gyrosphere Container
from the Compass Housing” on page 5-3.
Always be aware, that in case no storage place is available where the
ambient temperature will not fall below 0° C, the gyrosphere must be
removed by authorized service personnel from the gyrosphere con-
tainer to prevent possible damage by frozen supporting fluid.
WARNING
Risk of Injury
Unprotected contact with loose (unpacked) supporting fluid is consid-
ered to be harmful to personnel. Never allow unprotected contact of
loose (unpacked) supporting fluid to eye or skin.
Always use safety gloves and safety glasses as personal protective
equipment (PPE) when handling with loose (unpacked) supporting fluid.
Note Loose (unpacked) supporting fluid is considered to be harmful to the
environment and must always be treated and disposed off as black
water. Never pour used supporting fluid overboard or flush down a drain.
Always follow the environmental regulations for black water treatment
with loose (unpacked) supporting fluid.
CAUTION
Risk of damage/destruction through low temperatures
The supporting fluid in the gyrosphere container will start freezing at
temperatures below 0° C.
The NAVIGAT 100 must no longer be operated when the ambient tem-
perature at the gyrocompass’ location falls below - 10° C while the com-
pass is in operation or when the ambient temperature falls below 0° C
while the gyrocompass is not in operation.
Always make sure, that the ambient temperature is higher than 0° C
respective 10° C. If this is not possible, the gyrosphere container with
gyrosphere must be removed from the NAVIGAT 100 and transported to
a place with sufficient ambient temperature.
Make sure to remove the gyrosphere from the gyrosphere container if no
place with sufficient ambient temperature is available to eliminate dam-
age from freezing supporting fluid. The removal is to be executed in a
service work procedure by authorized service personnel only.
