4.7.3  NSK UNIT SETTING 
The NSK Unit circuit of the system is designed to be compatible with most types of gyro 
compasses by simply setting the switches. 
Step motor type: 20 to 170 VDC 
Synchro-motor type: Primary excitation voltage 35 to 120 VAC 
Before power-on operation can be performed, the switches S1 to S5 on the NSK Unit 
circuit (PC4201) must be set in accordance with the type of your gyro compass by 
performing the procedure below. The switches are factory-set for a gyration ratio of 
180X and the step motor type. Make sure of the type of the gyro compass installed on 
the own ship before starting the procedure below. 
1  Set S1 to "OFF". 
The gyro compass and NSK Unit are turned off. 
2  Set S2 and S3 in accordance with the type of your gyro compass. 
There are two types of gyro compasses: one type outputs a step signal, and the other 
type outputs a synchro signal. Make sure of the type of the gyro compass installed on 
the own ship before setting the switches S2 and S3. 
Synchro signal:  Set the switches to [SYNC]. 
Step signal:  Set the switches to [STEP]. 
3  Set the DIP switch S4. 
The items to be set are listed below. See Table 4.7-1 for details of setting value. 
S4-1:  LOG alarm ON/OFF 
S4-2:  GYRO simulator ON/OFF 
S4-3:  LOG simulator ON/OFF 
S4-5:  Time before occurrence of GYRO alarm 
S4-6:  Sensor to be used (GYRO/NMEA) 
S4-7/8:  Baud rate when NMEA is used 
4  Set the DIP switch S5. 
The items to be set are listed below. See Table 4.7-2 for details of setting value. 
S5-1:  Type of gyro signal (step/synchro) 
S5-2/3:  Gyration ratio of gyro compass 
S5-4:  Gyration direction of gyro compass 
S5-5:  Type of log signal (pulse/synchro) 
S5-7/8:  Ratio of log signal 
5  Connect the gyro signal and log signal cables to the terminal block. 
6  Set S1 to "ON". 
The gyro compass and NSK Unit are connected.
