MARINE PRODUCTS // GYROCOMPASS - TG-3000
TOKYO KEIKI's more than 60 years of experience in manufacturing gyrocompasses
and other navigation equipment is clearly evident in the superb TG-3000,
designed for medium and large ships. Safe navigation is assured by this highly
reliable gyrocompass, which features a unique gyrosphere suspension system and
the latest electronics techniques.
Conforms to IMO standards
The TG-3000 meets the lMO resolution A-424 performance standards.
Highly accurate
Outstanding accuracy is achieved through a new technique (internationally
patented) whereby the gyro-sphere is suspended in liquid oil by suspension
wires. Accuracy within+0.5o can be maintained under all environmental conditions
likely to be encountered at sea.
Compact and lightweight
There are two compact units: the master compass and the transmission box. Their
total mass is half that of their predecessors' in this class of gyrocompass.
Easy to operate
There is only one control switch, which has three positions: SLEW, OFFandRUN. At
the SLEW position, the compass is slewed to the ship's heading, and at RUN the
compass is in full operational state.
Daily maintenance unnecessary
In principle, no daily maintenance is required. Solid state plug-in circuit
boards are employed, so it's a simple matter of replacement in the unlikely
event of a problem occurring.
Low power consumption, low noise, low heat generation
The master compass normally consumes less than 1OO VA. And there's scarcely any
noise or generation of heat.
Emergency back-up function
When the main AC power supply fails, visual and audible warnings are given,
followed by automatic switching to the emergency power supply (DC24V).
Extensive repeater circuit
Up to 8 repeaters can be connected on a standard model.
