Check the running current on the main status display to verify it falls within the nominal range specified in your technical data sheet.
The sensitive gyroscopic sphere suspended within the master compass container. It uses a supportive flotation liquid to minimize mechanical friction. Control and Power Supply Units
Listen for unusual noises or excessive vibration coming from the master compass. Monthly Inspections Clean the air filters on the cooling fans. yokogawa gyro compass cmz 700 user manual
Proper initialization is critical to prevent heading drift and ensure navigation safety. 1. Pre-Start Visual Inspection Check the master compass unit for physical damage.
The Yokogawa CMZ 700 gyrocompass is a high-precision navigational instrument that determines true north using the principles of a gyroscope. Unlike a magnetic compass, it is unaffected by the Earth's magnetic field and provides a stable heading reference for critical shipboard systems like autopilots and radar.

The rotor will begin to spin up. It typically takes for the gyrosphere to settle completely and provide a true heading reading. Speed and Latitude Error Correction
The installation chapter of your manual is crucial for ensuring the system's accuracy. The master compass unit (Model MKM 022) has specific mounting requirements, including permissible roll and pitch angles of up to ±40° and a maximum permissible acceleration of 0.5G.
