A GC80/85 Dual Gyro compass consists of the following units:
- 2 Master compasses
- 2 Sensitive elements
- Dual MK2 Control unit
- Spare part kit
- Mounting jigs
- Documentation
The Sensitive element is shipped from the factory packaged separately in a
carton box to protect it from excessive shock and vibration. The final
assembly of the Sensitive element into the Master compass has to be done
when the Master compass is mounted onboard the vessel. Refer page 58.
It is strongly recommended to keep the Sensitive elements' packaging
material. These original packagings should be used if the element is sent to
the factory for overhaul or repair.
Care should be taken when unpacking and handling the equipment. A
visual inspection should be made to see that the equipment has not been
damaged during shipment and that all components and parts are
included.
The units included in the GC80/85 system should be mounted with special
regard to the units' environmental protection, temperature range and
cable length. Refer TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, page 78 onwards.
A special tool (Simrad part no. 44174449) is required when installing the
Sensitive element. This tool is included in the Gyro packaging, and the
Sensitive element should not be installed without using this tool.

Control unit

The Control unit is bulkhead mounted using 4 bolts as shown in the
illustration.
