Rate-of-Turn Gyro DS-340 (option)

The rate-of-turn gyro must be installed, in a location with minimal vibration, so that the sensor in-
side the unit is level to within 1 degree. (There is no designation for orientation of the unit.) Select
the location considering that the cable for connection with the distributor is 5 m.
Use the four stud bolts, flat washers, spring washers and eight adjust nuts to fix the unit. See the
outline drawing at the back of this manual.
Use the XH connector (supplied with DS-340) to connect cables.
Leveling adjustment
This adjustment must be performed while the ship is in dry-dock where it has no heeling and trim-
ming inclinations.
Place a T-type level meter on top of the sensor to measure longitudinal and transverse inclination.
To level the sensor, turn the adjust bolts.
