Operating conditions

Caution:
After a cold start, the gyrocompass system requires a settling time of up to three
hours before reliable heading data is produced. The gyrocompass system is to be in
operation for at least three hours before leaving harbour. It is recommended that the
gyrocompass system be switched off during long docking periods only.
Caution:
The permitted ambient temperature range for the operation of the gyrocompass sys-
tem is -10 – +55 °C.
At ambient temperatures below 0 C° when the gyrocompass is not in operation, and
below -10 C° when the gyrocompass is in operation, the gyrosphere container is to
be removed from the compass housing and stored at a place where the ambient
temperature will not fall below 0 °C.
If no storage place is available where the ambient temperature will not fall below 0 °C,
the gyrosphere is to be removed from the gyrosphere container to prevent damage
caused by frozen supporting fluid.
The gyrosphere may be removed by personnel of an authorized C. PLATH service
station only.
