Motion Sensor MS-100 (option)

The MS-100 measures ship's pitching and rolling angles with a sensor, using the

principles of the gyroscope. The MS-100 is free from error caused by ship's

vertical and horizontal motion. Therefore, it can be installed at any convenient

location. However, ship's semi-permanent inclination due to loading imbalance

cannot be detected. Compensate for this as described in Chapter 3.

1.6.1

Mounting considerations

• Vibration in the mounting area should be minimal.

• Locate the unit away from areas subject to water splash.

• The ambient temperature should not exceed 50°C.

1.6.2

Mounting procedure

Orient the FORE mark on the unit toward the ship's bow and mount the unit level

to within 5° in all directions. For the offset, see Chapter 3.
