what is the procedure to manually adjust the heading of gyro compass

To manually adjust the heading of the Sperry Marine NAVIGAT X MK1 gyrocompass:
1. Determine the vessel’s true heading with an accuracy of ±0.1°. 2. Check that the shaft encoder correction value in Service Setup 1 matches the value indicated on the baseplate. 3. For first-time installation: - Ensure the heading is approximately correct, accounting for any misalignment. - Set the alignment error correction value in Service Setup 1 as needed. 4. After alignment correction, the gyrocompass should display the true heading within ±0.5°. 5. After maintenance or gyrosphere replacement, the heading should be accurate within ±1.0°. 6. If needed, adjust the stored alignment error correction value to improve accuracy to ±0.5°.
Refer to “Alignment Error Correction” and “Storing the magnetic compass heading calibration table” in manual 056343 for detailed steps.

k^sfd^q u jh N MRSPQPLc `^rqflk Risk of damage through overheating A polluted or clogged air inlet grill located at the back side of the compass housing will decrease the functionality of the cooling fan and cause over- heating of the gyrocompass. Always maintain the required distances around the compass housing to enable sufficient air supply and full cooling fan functionality.

If after a time period of around 45 minutes after the second power-up cycle the gyrosphere current has still not dropped below 320 mA, the gyrosphere may not be in operable working condition.

To ensure continued trouble free operation and to minimize the risk of failure, Sperry Marine recommends regular maintenance every five years. The replacement of a defective gyrosphere and the recommended five- year maintenance both comprise the removal of the existing gyro- sphere, maintenance of the gyrosphere container and the installation of a new gyrosphere using fresh supporting fluid.

Questions and answers
what is the procedure to manually adjust the heading of gyro compass
To manually adjust the heading of the Sperry Marine NAVIGAT X MK1 gyrocompass:
1. Determine the vessel’s true heading with an accuracy of ±0.1°.
2. Check that the shaft encoder correction value in Service Setup 1 matches the value indicated on the baseplate.
3. For first-time installation:
- Ensure the heading is approximately correct, accounting for any misalignment.
- Set the alignment error correction value in Service Setup 1 as needed.
4. After alignment correction, the gyrocompass should display the true heading within ±0.5°.
5. After maintenance or gyrosphere replacement, the heading should be accurate within ±1.0°.
6. If needed, adjust the stored alignment error correction value to improve accuracy to ±0.5°.
Refer to “Alignment Error Correction” and “Storing the magnetic compass heading calibration table” in manual 056343 for detailed steps.
