Both the dual system at each separate gyro will continually
check for faults while the system is running.
If a fault occurs, an alarm code will be displayed in the LCD, the
Alarm lamp will be flashing, and an audible alarm will be
activated.
When an alarm is generated, bearing information from the
GC80/GC85 may not be present or may have large error. Any
equipment using bearing information from the gyro compass
should therefore immediately be operated according to the
equipment's emergency operating procedure.
