    1.2 Handling Precautions

    1.2.1 Startup of Gyrocompass

    (1) Startup the gyrocompass at least 5 hours before the ship's departure. (2) After startup, do not touch the internal unit of the master compass.

    Otherwise the equipment may be damaged or an error generated.

    1.2.2 Handling in Cold Districts

    Since the master compass container containing the gyro-sphere is filled with supporting liquid, if a gyrocompass is to be stopped in a cold district where the ambient temperature is 3C or less it should therefore be handled as shown below.

    (1) In the case where it is stopped for a period of a few days or less: Wrap the master compass in a blanket or the like to provide heat insulation.

    (2) In the case of a prolonged stopping period (a week or more): Drain the liquid completely.

    1.2.3 External Heading Out Put

    External heading can use with the master compassamplifier unit. Turn on the main power of the master compass (MKM022) in case of using external heading

    CAUTION

    Polishing the slip ring is prohibited Carry out cleaning by wiping dirt off the slip ring with ethyl alcohol or ligroin.

    1.5 Advice for Specific Situations (1) If it is suspected that there is an error in a heading shown by a repeater compass or an autopilot:

    Check the settings for the ship's speed and latitude for correcting speed-error using command codes 21 and 22. If they are not correct, correct the values.

    (See 4.7.1 of this manual.) Set the ship's speed to zero and check that indications on the master compass and repeater compass are the same. If they are not, align the indications of the repeater compass and master compass.

    (See 4.7.2 of this manual.)

    (2) If an abnormal sounds can be heard from the master compass: Continue to operate the gyro system if there are no errors in indications of the master and repeater compasses. When there are errors in indications of the master and repeater compasses, use the external sensor selector switch to set the operation of the system so that the heading sensor is selected to "external heading."

    (See 4.2 of this manual.) * In either case, replace the gyro-sphere as soon as possible.

    (3) If you desire to know the gyro-sphere running time:

    This can be displayed using the command code 13. However, a correct value cannot be obtained unless the running time was reset when the gyro-sphere was replaced.

    (See 4.6.2 of this manual.)

    (4) If you desire to know the phase current of the gyro-sphere: This can be displayed using the command code 15.

    (See 4.6.3 of this manual.) (5) If you desire to implement automatic re-startup using the timer:

    The timer can be set using the command code 29. (See 4.7.4 of this manual.)

    (6) If you desire to reset the gyro-sphere running time:

    This can be reset using the command code 34. (See 4.6.2 of this manual.)

    2. OVERVIEW 2.1 General

    The CMZ700 Gyrocompass fully conforms to the technical requirements of the IMO resolution A.424 (XI), gyrocompass performance standards, as well as to JIS F9602, Class A standards. The anti-vibration structure has been strengthened and improvement of the follow-up performance has been achieved, leading to increased rigidity of the gyrocompass in all types of ships, from small to large.

    (1) High Accuracy

    High accuracy is achieved because of the following configuration: The gyro-sphere, the center of the gyrocompass, is protected into the container filled with liquid, through the center pin that was supported as the influence of disturbance is decreased. In addition, two gyro-rotors rotate at a high speed and work with each other to cancel out errors due to the rolling, pitching and yawing of a ship.

    (2) Ingenious damping mechanism for vibration and shock The gyrocompass is designed to disperse forces due to vibration and shock by the inclusion of liquid in the container to support the gyro-sphere. In addition, the container is protected from vibration and shock with a diaphragm rubber damper and bellows damper. The diaphragm rubber dumper has universal joints as a countermeasure against the affect of attitude change due to rolling, pitching and yawing. This configuration produces excellent resistance against vibration and shock.

    (3) Improvement of Follow-up Performance A follow-up speed of 30/s has been realized by reducing the size and weight of the container. This has made smooth follow-up without delay possible in response to sudden turning as is characteristic with small ships.

    (4) Digitalization of Master Compass Heading The display of the master compass heading has been changed to digital. This increases the ease of reading a heading.

    (5) Digitalization of Repeater Compass Signal Electromagnetic wave noise is suppressed to a minimum by expressing the repeater compass signal in a digital form and having the driving circuit for the compass motor on the repeater compass side.

    (6) Automatic Speed-error Correcting Function Speed-error is corrected automatically by entering the ship's speed signal and latitude signal respectively from the log and GPS or the like. The amount of latitude change in the case where there is no latitude signal input is estimated from a calculation of the ship's speed and heading. In a basic system, this function is implemented in C.operation unit.

    (7) Functions for Various Displays and Settings Various types of gyrocompass information can be displayed and set on M..operation unit and C.Operation unit.

    (8) Preparation of Outputs Corresponding to Every Requirement In addition to the digital heading signal output for the repeater compass, the stepper heading signal output, digital signal output (IEC61162-1), analog heading, quadrant, and analog rate of turn signal output are equipped as standard.

    (9) Onboard Battery Drive Compass running by the onboard battery is available as standard.

    (10) Remote Operation C.operation unit is optionally provided so that the gyrocompass system can be remotely operated.

    (11) Built-in Startup Timer The restart time of the timer can be set from 1 to 99 hours.

    (12) Heading Output Using External Azimuth Sensor Signal Using the heading signal from the external heading sensor (GPS compass, magnet compass, etc.) signals can be output to external connecting device such as repeater compasses or a radar.

    4. OPERATION 4.1 Startup and Stoppage 4.1.1 Startup

    Start up the gyrocompass at least 5 hours before performing normal operation. After the power switch is turned on, the gyrocompass system is started up at either hot start or cold start depending on the condition of the gyro-sphere. If the gyro rotor is rotating at a high enough speed to detect the heading, hot start begins, however, if it is rotating at a speed that is too low to detect the heading, cold start begins. The rotating status of the gyro rotor is determined by monitoring the phase current.

    (1) Hot start

    Hot start begins if the value of the phase current immediately after turning on the power is 0.35 A or less and follow-up of master compass, signal input/output, and indicator lamps are normal.

    (2) Cold start

    Cold start begins if the value of the phase current immediately after turning on the power is higher than 0.35 A. The stand-by state continues until the phase current drops and the rate of change in the phase current drops below a specified level. Normal operation will start when these requirements are met. During stand-by, functions of master compass automatic aligning and manual aligning cannot be carried out. After about 2 hours, the heading indication settles and the gyrocompass is ready for operation.

    4.1.2 Startup Indications

    The section describes the indications on the M..operation unit at startup. If the system is activated by a cold start (stand-by state), the display shown in item (1) below appears. When the rotating speed of the gyro-rotor is fast enough, the system enters normal mode and the display changes to the item (2). In case of hot start, the display shown in item (2) below appears immediately.

    (1) Example of indications during stand-by

    The gyro heading display indicates the compass heading when the power was last turned off, and the data display indicates "C.S."

    (2) Example of indications when released from stand-by and for hot start

    The gyro heading display indicates the current compass heading and the data display indication disappears.

    4.1.3 Stoppage

    When the power switch is turned off, all power is cut.

    4.3 Mode Selection This section describes various operations performed with the M.operation unit.

    (1) Normal mode

    This is the mode at normal condition or hot start. The gyro heading display shows a compass heading, indications in the command and data displays disappear (during stand-by, "C.S." is displayed). If the COMMAND key is pressed during this state, "00" is displayed in the command display (the tens digit blinks) and the mode changes to command selection mode.

    (2) Command selection mode

    Change the digit to be entered (blinking) by pressing the SHIFT key and then change its numeric value by pressing the UP key (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ). Perform this operation to enter a command code. Keeping the ENT key pressed for 2 seconds after entering a command code, changes the mode to selected command execution mode.

    (3) Command execution mode

    If the selected command code is in its 10's (display functions), the command is immediately executed. However, if the command code is in its 20's (setting functions) or 30's (maintenance functions), the command is not executed unless the ENT key is kept pressed for another 2 seconds. When in command selection mode or command execution mode, the mode can be returned to normal at any time by pressing the COMMAND key. In addition, if the selected command code is not correct (relevant number does not exist or rejected status for the maintenance function), the mode also returns to normal.

    (1) Command code input (00 to 99)

    Change to command selection mode by pressing the COMMAND key. "00" is displayed in the command display and the tens digit (digit to be entered) blinks.

    Change the digit to be entered (tens digit/units digit) by pressing the SHIFT key and then change the numeric value for the digit to be entered (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ) by pressing the UP key. Carry out these procedures to enter "22" of the command for setting the latitude for speed-error correction.

    The entered value blinks if the ENT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds to enable the operator to confirm the value. If the ENT key is pressed for another 2 seconds, the entered value is displayed continuously and the command code "22" is executed.

    (2) Latitude input (70 to +70)

    The current set value for the latitude for speed-error correction is displayed in the data display and its tens digit blinks (digit to be entered). The figure to the right shows an example of displaying 00 N.

    Change the digit to be entered by pressing the SHIFT key in the same way as is done for command code input and then change the numeric value in the digit to be entered by pressing the UP key.

    If a negative value is to be entered, set the digit to be entered to the most significant digit (tens digit) and continue to press the UP key. The entered value changes from "00" "10" "70" "70." "60." . Since the decimal point after the least significant digit means minus, "60." shows as 60 S. The figure to the right is an example showing 13 S. After entering the latitude, the entered value blinks if the ENT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds to enable the operator to confirm the value. If the ENT key is pressed for another 2 seconds, the entered value is displayed continuously and is set as the final value.

    4.7 Setting Functions This section describes how to set the functions that are regarded as essential for running the gyrocompass. The following describes four function settings: (1) Speed-error correcting function (2) Automatic master compass alignment function (3) Manual master compass alignment function (4) Startup timer setting function

    4.7.1 Speed Error Correction

    (1) Setting the Ship's Speed (procedure for setting the ship's speed for correcting speed-error) If the command code "21" is executed, the current speed is displayed in the data display and its tens digit (digit to be entered) blinks. Press the shift key to change the digit and then change the numeric value of the digit by pressing the UP key to enter a new speed (from 00 to 99 kt). The figure to the right shows an example of entering the speed 10 kt. After entering the speed, the entered value blinks if the ENT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds to enable the operator to confirm the value. If the ENT key is pressed for another 2 seconds, the entered value is displayed continuously and is set as the final value. If the COMMAND key is pressed, the mode returns to normal.

    (2) Setting Latitude (procedure for setting the latitude for correcting speed-error)

    If the command code "22" is executed, the current latitude is displayed in the data display and its tens digit (digit to be entered) blinks. If the latitude displayed is south, a decimal point is displayed after the least significant digit. For example, with a latitude of 16 S, "16." is displayed. To change the digit, press the SHIFT key and then change the numeric value of the digit by pressing the UP key to enter a latitude (from 00 N or S to 70 N or S). The figure to the right shows an example of entering 45 N. After a value for the latitude has been entered, the entered value blinks if the ENT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds to enable the operator to confirm the value. If the ENT key is pressed for another 2 seconds, the entered value is displayed continuously and is set as the final value. If the COMMAND key is pressed, the mode returns to normal.

    4.7.2 Automatic Master Compass Alignment

    This is a function to align the azimuth of the container and the compass heading by detecting the zero point of the gyrocompass system again. If the command code "23" is executed, alignment starts and the container rotates to detect the zero point: "CA" blinks in the data display and the alignment can be suspended by pressing the COMMAND key. If the alignment is completed normally, "CA" is still displayed but stops blinking and the gyro heading display indicates "000.0" (see the figure to the right). If the alignment is not successful (zero point cannot be detected), an alarm is generated and the "CA" continues to blink. If this occurs, carry out manual alignment. If the COMMAND key is pressed, the mode returns to normal.

    4.7.3 Manual Master Compass Alignment

    If Automatic master compass alignment cannot be executed, this function can be performed to align the azimuth of the container and the compass heading manually. The ships speed is set to 00 by executing the command codes 21. The setting procedure includes relative value alignment and absolute value alignment. (1) Setting mode for relative value alignment (2) Setting mode for absolute value alignment ( If the command code "24" is executed, the data display indicates "AE," the gyro heading display indicates "000.0" and the mode changes to relative value alignment setting mode. If the EXT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds, the data display indicates "AH" and the gyro heading display indicates the current compass heading and the mode changes to the absolute value alignment setting mode. (Switch between the setting modes with the EXT key.) The hundreds digit (digit to be entered) of the display in the gyro heading display blinks. To change the digit, press the SHIFT key and then change the numeric value of the digit by pressing the UP key (relative value: 180.0 to 180.0 degrees; absolute value: 000.0 to 359.9 degrees). If a negative value is to be entered, set the digit to be entered to the most significant digit (hundreds digit) and press the UP key several times until the data display indicates "AE." display. After entering a heading, the entered value blinks if the ENT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds to enable the operator to confirm the value. If the ENT key is pressed for another 2 seconds, the entered value is displayed continuously and is set as the final value. If the COMMAND key is pressed, the mode returns to normal.

    4.7.4 Startup Timer Setting

    This function restarts the gyro system automatically after a preset time. If the command code "29" is executed, the data display indicates "00" and its tens digit (digit to be entered) blinks. To change the digit, press the SHIFT key and then change the numeric value of the digit by pressing the UP key to enter the startup time (00 to 99 hours). The figure on the right shows an example of setting the time of the startup timer to 8 hours. After setting the time, the value blinks if the ENT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds to enable the operator to confirm the value. If the ENT key is pressed for another 2 seconds, the entered value is displayed continuously and is set as the final value and the mode changes to timer startup mode. If the COMMAND key is pressed before moving to timer startup mode, the mode returns to normal. If the mode enters timer startup mode, the time remaining before restart is displayed in both the gyro heading display and data display. The figure on the right shows an example of displaying the time before restart as 7 hours 59 minutes and 13 seconds. If the ENT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds when in timer startup mode, the timer is turned off and the system can be started up immediately. Normally, when the system starts up, the sensor for the output heading is the same as when the power was last turned off. However, whenever the system starts up by the timer, the output heading is set as the gyro heading.

    4.8 Procedures for Operating Repeater Compass

    4.8.1 Basic Operation

    The repeater compasses receive a serial signal from the master compass, and the compass cards turn so as to indicate the true heading. If power is supplied from the master compass, the compass cards turn and zero adjustment is carried out. If this occurs, the zero adjustment LEDs blink. When the pointers align with zero on the compass cards, the zero adjustment LEDs stop blinking and remain lit. If a heading signal is sent from the master compass using a serial signal, the compass cards turn and indicate the true heading.

    4.8.2 Connection Box

    Zero adjustment switch Used when there has been a shift in the value indicated by the repeater compass. Dimmer Turning this knob adjusts the illumination of the compass card, and error and zero adjustment LEDs. Zero adjustment LED (green) This LED blinks when zero adjustment is being carried out. Normally it is lit. Error LED (red) This LED is lit or blinks when an error is detected. Normally it is off.

    5.3.2 How to Display the Cause of Master Compass Alarms

    If the command code "26" is executed, an error code is displayed in the data display for the cause of alarm generated and detected in the master compass. A decimal point is displayed after the least significant digit of the error code. The figure to the right shows an example in which the backup battery voltage failure is being generated. An error code without a decimal point means that the error that caused the alarm has already been rectified, and if the ENT key is kept pressed for 2 seconds it will be reset and the error message will disappear. If there was no reason for the generation of the alarm, then "--" is displayed. In addition, if there is more than one cause for the generation of the alarm, the error code with the smallest code number is displayed first and the following codes can be displayed by pressing the UP key. For example, pressing the UP key may switch the displayed error codes between "40" "50" "60" . If the COMMAND key is pressed, the mode returns to normal.

    6.2.4 Replacement of Lamps in the Repeater Compass

    (1) Place the repeater compass on a stand with the repeater card face down and draw alignment marks on the lower cover and the body. (2) Remove the eight mounting bolts from the lower cover. (3) Raise the lower cover to separate it from the body. (4) Hold the lower cover in this position while replacing the illuminating lamp or lamps. (5) Align the alignment marks, and then tighten the eight bolts.

    Avoid disassembling the repeater compass any further. When these procedures are to be carried out aboard a ship, close attention must be paid so that reassembling is carried out correctly. If these procedures cannot be carried out aboard, contact your nearest service agent of Yokogawa Denshikiki Co., Ltd.

    6.2.5 Procedure for Aligning Repeater Compass Indication

    The repeater compass indication is automatically aligned with the master compass indication when the power is turned on. In general, no other alignment is required. However, it is advisable to check the master compass display and the repeater compass indication before departing from a port to avoid possible accident. If the master compass display and the repeater compass indication match, alignment of indication is not necessary.

    (1) Procedure using the zero adjustment switch

    If the repeater compass indication shifts from the master compass display, use the zero adjustment switch to align the indication. Press this switch for 3 seconds or more. The repeater compass card turns and the zero of the compass card is aligned with the pointer to correct the shift. Then, the repeater compass follows up the received value.

    (2) Procedure in the case where the zero point photo-sensor fails

    If an error due to zero point photo-sensor failure is generated, use the procedure described below to align the indication. When an error is generated, the compass card stops. By pressing the zero adjustment switch with the compass card stopped state, the compass card begins to revolve the high speed (30/s).

    When the pointer is near the zero point of the compass card, press the zero adjustment switch. The speed of the turning compass card decreases (0.5/s). At the instant when the pointer aligns with the zero of the compass card, press the zero adjustment switch. The compass card stops turning.

    If the zero adjustment switch is not pressed within 5 seconds, the compass follows up the received value. If it is pressed within 5 seconds, the state of the compass changes returns to . *If the switch is not pressed when it is in the turning state of or the compass card stops. If the zero adjustment switch is pressed when it is stopped, the compass goes to state and turns at the high speed.
