General

This compass is designed for use as a navigation aid on board ships.
As a sensor, and unaffected by the magnetic earth field, it determines the north bearing,
and thus enables a heading to be steered in relation to true north.
This compass provides heading information and status signals to those responsible for
heading setting.
In principle we can distinguish between two different applications for the compass:
The STD22 Compact Compass as a stand--alone system
and
The STD 22 Compass used in conjunction with other system components.
An Operator Unit and a Distribution Unit are required to connect and to operate other
system components.
The overview on the next page illustrates the functional differences between these two
versions.
