With a watchful eye on the demands made on navigation and ship control technology emerging from the 21st Century, Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine has created the NAVIGAT X MK 1 Digital Gyrocompass System.
Teklif FormuShip’s cables are connected directly to terminals within the gyrocompass housing, greatly facilitating installation. All electronic components are plug-in modules, thus providing fast and easy service. Digital heading information is derived as an absolute value from a 13-bit shaft encoder. The NAVIGAT X MK 1 has a control and display unit installed in the front access cover. When required, the control and display unit can be removed from the access cover and installed at a location (e.g. bridge console) remote from the gyrocompass.
