6 INSTALLATION
This section is a reference guide to correctly install and configure the
GC80/85 Gyro compasses.
6.1 Unpacking and handling
A GC80/85 Gyro compass consists of the following units:
- Master compass
- Sensitive element
- Control unit
- Power Supply unit (Option)
- Spare part kit
- Documentation
The Sensitive element is shipped from the factory packed separately in a
carton box to protect it from excessive shock and vibration. The final
assembly of the Sensitive element into the Master compass has to be done
when the Master compass is mounted onboard the vessel. Refer page 57.
Note!
It is strongly recommended to keep the Sensitive element’s packaging
material. This original packaging should be used if the element is sent to
the factory for overhaul or repair.
Care should be taken when unpacking and handling the equipment. A
visual inspection should be made to see that the equipment has not been
damaged during shipment and that all components and parts are
included.
6.2 Mechanical installation
The units included in the GC80/85 system should be mounted with special
regard to the units’ environmental protection, temperature range and
cable length. Refer
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
, page 76 onwards.
Note!
A special tool (part no. 44174449) is required when installing the Sensitive
element. This tool is included in the Gyro packaging, and the Sensitive
element should not be installed without using this tool.
