Electromagnetic Controlled Gyrocompass
General Description:
Electromagnetic controlled gyrocompass which is new model marine compass is suitable for all kinds of size ships. And it adopts a liquid—floating free gyroscope as sensor. This instrument has high accuracy, steady characteristic to easily operate and maintenance. It can continuously and precisely indicate the ship's heading direction and north—pointing. When there is emergency or high latitude area, gyrocompass can regard as azimuth.
Standard & authentication:
Standard: GJB1723-93
Certification: CCS
Theory: Combining technology of electromagnetic control and compensation.
