Simrad R5000 Installation Manual

Ground stabilization requires an external sensor signal capable of providing an input and an
indication of own ship’s speed over ground, for example from an EPFS, SDME or use of
stationary tracked reference targets. If a ground-referenced speed log is used for ground
stabilization, it must be of dual axis type.
Connections to a BAM device is mandatory if these devices are available on a vessel.
Ú
Note: The gyro-compass or heading sensor must have an update rate that is adequate
for the ship’s rate of turn – the performance should meet or exceed the relevant
standards adopted by the IMO (IMO A.424(XI), A.821(19) and MSC.116(73)).
Alarm
