| Definition | A gyrocompass system for use on small high-speed turning vessels. It detects the direction of true north by means of a fast-spinning rotor, which is suspended with no friction and is influenced by gravity and rotation of the Earth. The system comprises a master compass unit which drives the repeaters directly without the need for a control box. The compass container mass reduces the burden to the compass motor (stepping motor) which results in a follow-up speed of 30 degrees/s. The accuracy is +/-0.25 degrees for static errors and +/-0.75 degrees for dynamic errors. |
