Raytheon Standard 22 Compact Operator's Manual page 4

Due to the introduction of a new Performance Standard "MSC.302(87) Performance standard for
Bridge Alert Management" and revised Test Standards "ISO 8728:2014 Ships and marine technology
- Marine gyro-compasses" respectively "ISO 16328:2014 Ships and marine technology -
Gyro-compasses for high-speed craft" the alert handling and presentation of the Standard 22 gyro
compass has been extended.
The above mentioned standards require a new alert philosophy called "Bridge Alert Management". The
Standard 22 gyro compass is compliant to such standards in combination with Operator Unit Gyro, type
130--626.NG00x. Please refer to the manuals of Operator Unit Gyro, type 130--626.NG00x for any
details about the alert handling and presentation. For new installations it is recommended to make use
of new alert management.
Alert outputs must be connected to a central Alert Panel/ Signal Unit.
Alert Panels or Signal, Units must have an acoustical and
optical alert indication. Make sure that alerts are presented at the conning
position.
Maintenance and repair work or any other work performed on the gyro
compass should be carried out only by trained and qualified staff who
are well versed in national safety regulations.
After the gyro compass has been switched off it is necessary to wait at
least 15 minutes before accessing the interior of the gyro compass.
Otherwise the sphere could be damaged!
A flashing decimal point in the seven segment display indicates
an operating condition where the operation of the gyro
equipment is not restricted. The operating condition needs to be
checked. Call an authorized service station if required.
Refer to chapter 3 for further details
Please note that all ships of 500 Gross tonnage and upwards
according to SOLAS regulations must be with a gyro compass.
The Gyro compass must be operational. For this reason it is not
allowed to have a switched--off gyro compass during voyages.
A switched--off gyro compass during voyages could damage to
the Gyrosphere.
