Installation and Service manual
Compass STD 22 Compact
2.4.1.1 Assembling the compass enclosure
Note:
Note:
It is not necessary to install the compass enclosure with reference to the ship
(e.g. in the ship’s forward direction). It can be installed in whatever position is most
convenient for servicing and operation.
The installation described below is to be regarded as the maker’s recommendation.
The compass STD 22 Compact is approved according to IMO regulations. This
compass has a much better performance and exceeds the requirements as defined
in ISO 8728 (the normative reference for gyro compasses) conspicuously.
However, the accuracy of a compass is subject to dynamic influences
caused by ship and environmental conditions. Acceleration forces caused
by roll and pitch movement can not be compensated by software and only to
a certain amount by the compass hardware. Therefore it is recommended to
install the compass as close as possible to the roll and pitch axis of the ship
to minimize the dynamical influences to the compass.
