Gyrocompass
MERIDIAN
The Meridian Gyrocompass is a product suitable for the ever-changing needs of a modern integrated navigation bridge system. This includes a highly accurate performance with a low cost of ownership and system flexibility. Due to the Meridian’s small size and fast settle time of less than 45 minutes.
The heart of the Meridian Gyrocompass is the element, which is a dynamically tuned gyroscope (DTG). The DTG is a high precision technology which, due to its size, accuracy, reliability and shock resistance, is used in many different applications.
With a standard connection
to GPS, Loch and the acceptance of very fast rate of turn (up to
200° per second), the heading is very stable and the compas can
be installed on vessels of any size. The DTG is a maintenance-free
dry element with a mean time between failure of 30,000 hours. Apart
from installation there are no scheduled annual maintenance and servicing
costs.
