Safety Information

Caution!
Maintenance and repair work should be carried out only by trained
and qualified staff who are well versed in national safety
regulations.
After the gyro compass has been switched off it is necessary to
wait at least 15 minutes before accessing the interior of the gyro
compass.
Otherwise the sphere could be damaged!

If no Raytheon repeater compass or other alarm indication device

is connected, the warnings and error messages are only displayed
visually on the compass.
In such case, the gyro has to be installed in such a way, that the
digital display can be monitored at all times -- see installation
instruction.

If warnings occur, the operation of the gyro compass is not

restricted. If the cause of the problem is rectified quickly, it is
possible to prevent the equipment from breaking down.
Please inform the authorised service staff.
When an error message appears, the heading is no longer
displayed at the compass; the heading is not followed up at a
connected heading receiver.
The compass must be repaired by well trained stuff.

Please note that all ships of 500 gross tonnage and upwards according
to SOLAS regulations must be equipped with a gyro compass.
The gyro compass must be operational. For this reason it is not allowed
to have a switched--off gyro compass during voyages.
A switched--off gyro compass during voyages could cause damage
to the gyrosphere.

Caused by technical progress the PC--Boards of the

Gyro Compass are changed.
Due to that some pictures and/or procedures have been
changed.
Respective changes are marked with “E10”.

The AC supply voltage (ships mains) may drop out.

This leads to a restart of the gyrocompass and a new settling
stage.
The heading information during this settling stage has a
reduced accuracy (see section 2.1.2).
Therefore a continously supply with 24VDC should be guar-
anteed.

1 General

This compass is designed for use as a navigation aid on board ships.

As a sensor, and unaffected by the magnetic earth field, it determines the north bearing,
and thus enables a course to be steered in relation to true north.
This compass provides course information and status signals to those responsible for
course setting.

In principle we can distinguish between two different applications for the compass:
The STD22 Compact Compass as a stand--alone system

and

The STD 22 Compass used in conjunction with other system components such as a
magnetic compass, GPS or other STD 22 gyro compasses. An Operator Unit and a
Distribution Unit are required to connect and to operate these system components.

The overview on the next page illustrates the functional differences between these two
versions.

1.1.2.1 Quick Settling operator unit

The “Quick Settling” function reduces the time the compass requires to settle to
approximately one hour.
The most recent heading is stored when the gyro compass is switched off. When it is
switched on the compass uses that value to make a default setting so that the settling
time is reduced.

The Quick Settling function can only be used if the ship‘s

heading has not been changed between swiching off and
swiching on again.
The Quick Settling function cannot be used:
-- During the first setting into operation (after installation).
-- If ship’‘s heading has been changed after switching off
and switching on again.

2.1 Switching on the STD 22 Compass

The compass goes into operation when the power supply is switched on from the ship’s
mains.

The compass goes into the heating stage for the first 30 minutes (this period will vary
depending on the temperature of the supporting liquid) and the letter “h” is displayed as
the leading sign on the digital display. The follow-up system is switched off -- no course
can be output.
When the temperature of the supporting liquid reaches 45 °C the follow-up system
switches on automatically, and the course is displayed on the compass; however
deviation from actual course may still be considerable.
This settling in phase (indicated by an additional dot on the digital display) ends 4 hours
after switching on. Accuracy is now < 2°
After about five hours (from switching on) the compass shows an accurate heading (see
Technical Data, section 1.3.3).

The “Quick Settling” option reduces the settling in phase to one hour. With it, precision
(after one hour) is better than +/--3°.

2.2 Heading correction

The information given here, in particular with regard to

Speed Error Correction, applies in general to the
STD 22 Compact compass and the STD 22 compass.
Where there is an exception, your attention is drawn to this.

The heading has to be corrected::

-- a correction depending on the alignment error
-- a correction depending on a speed error

2.2.1 Alignment error

The alignment error (A-error) occurs if the compass was not correctly aligned
when it was installed, i.e. when the compass zero line does not agree with the
ship’s--line pre-alignment. An alignment error can be corrected at any time by making
readjustments.

1.) Remove the cover of the compass (unfasten the 5 cross--slotted screws)
2.) Move switch B37 (DIP switch), contact (1) to the “OPEN” position.
3. ) The digital indicator is now indicating “ALEr” = Alignment Error
4.) Press button B38 or B39 until the heading you require displays.
As you do so the course value changes (B38 changes the value downwards and
B39 changes it upwards).
If you hold down the button the speed at which it changes will increase.
5.) Move switch B37 (DIP switch), contact (1) back to the “OFF” position.

2.2.2 Speed error

A speed error occurs while the ship is travelling. This becomes greater as the speed
increases and is more pronounced on northerly and southerly courses than on easterly
and westerly courses.
Speed error is a physical deviation from the steering course indicated on the gyro
compass (compass course) from the true course (chart course). It depends on the speed
of the ship, the course it is steering and the latitude.
The speed error is typically within the range of 0°--2°, and with fast ships, it can even
reach 5°or more.
With automatic speed error correction the compass course is continually corrected using
the values shown in the speed error table (see section 2.2.2.1). The digital display on
the compass and the connected repeater displays will always indicate the true
(corrected) course.
For automatic speed error correction the ship’s speed and the latitude are read into the
gyro compass.

The speed error correction function on the STD22 Compact Gyro Compass

Only the automatic speed error correction function applies; in order for it to operate
GPS or Pulse Log and GPS data (speed and degree of latitude) must be supplied to the
compass.

CAUTION: If the speed and latitude are not available for automatic speed error
correction (Pulse Log or GPS failure), no automatic correction can
take place. The gyro compass will be showing the uncorrected
value.

The speed error correction function on the STD22 Gyro Compass

In this version, besides the automatic speed error correction function (with GPS and
Pulse Log data) the speed error correction function can also be carried out (with manual
speed and latitude values input) manually. The speed error can be corrected manually
on the Operator unit by entering the speed and latitude manually (see also Manual no.
3648 “Operator Unit 130-613”)
Add the correction value taken from the table to the uncorrected course (making sure
you note the leading sign).

3 Warning signals

All warnings (see also section 3.1) are indicated on the compass by means of a flashing
decimal point.

It is not necessary to acknowledge the warning on the compass.

The warning (the flashing decimal point) remains until the fault that caused the warning
has been corrected.
The course indicated on the digital display unit is not affected by the warning.
EXCEPT for warning 5 “Voltage cut-off” (see section 3.1)

When a warning occurs the decimal point

flashes on the compass’s digital display unit
for as long as the warning is pending.

Decimal point (flashes)

on the digital display unit

The procedures indicated here to temporarily remove the warning signal

in some degree restrict the compass’s operational safety (if the door is
open, the system’s electrical operational security, spray protection and
electromagnetic compatibility are all restricted).

If warnings occur, the operation of the gyro compass is not restricted. If the
cause of the problem is rectified quickly, it is possible to prevent the
equipment from breaking down.

3.1 Warnings, their causes, and what to do

There are five different warnings (numbered 1 to 6, warning 6 is not used).

These warnings are displayed on the compass’s digital display after the B38 or B39
buttons have been pressed once.
Warnings 1 to 3 are displayed when button B38 is pressed, and warnings 4--6 are
displayed when button B39 is pressed.
If several warnings occur at the same time, all of the warnings are displayed.

The warnings are as follows:

1 = fan failure

2 = heater failure
Button B38
3 = supporting liquid temperature is higher than 60°C

4 = supporting liquid level is too low

5 = After voltage cut-off Button B39

6 = not used

3.1.1 Warning 1 “Fan failure”

This warning is generated if the fan does not switch itself on as a result of the
temperature of the supporting liquid (it should switch on when the supporting liquid
reaches 51°C).
Whether the fan is operational or not is registered from the fan’s current consumption; it
therefore follows that the fan is defective if this warning is displayed.
To prevent overheating due to fan failure, it is recommended that you do the following:
-- Check whether the fan screen is covered and check to see that air can enter
the enclosure unhindered at the base.
-- If necessary cool the outer sphere using an external fan.
Continue this until warning 1 stops.

It is essential that the fan be replaced at the earliest opportunity.

NOTE: A critical situation occurs, if the ambient temperature is extremely high

and warning 3 is displayed “Temperature of supporting liquid more than 60°C”.
Constant high temperature may effects to the life cycle of the gyro compass.
A higher temperature for a short moment has no importance.

3.1.2 Warning 2 “Heater failure”

This warning is output when the heater (≥45°C) has failed.

Compass operation is not restricted if the temperature is more than 45°C (see also
warning “fan failure”.
A temperature drop down below 45°C leads to an error message “Error” and the heading
information will not longer displayed ( as well as the heading information to the
connected heading receivers).
To prevent the supporting liquid from cooling further, it is recommended that to do the
following:
-- Close the door on the compass, or
-- introduce warm air.
These measures should be continued until warning 2 stops.
It is essential that the heater be repaired at the earliest opportunity.

3.1.3 Warning 3 “Supporting liquid > 60°C.”

This warning is output when the temperature of the supporting liquid is higher than 60°C.

To prevent the temperature from rising further, it is recommended that you do the
following:
-- Open the door on the compass
-- If necessary cool the outer sphere using an external fan.
-- Check the ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is higher than
60°C steps should be taken to cool it down.
These measures should be continued until warning 3 stops.
If warning 3 is displayed in combination with warning 1, the fan must be replaced
at the earliest opportunity.

3.1.4 Warning 4 “Supporting liquid level too low”

This warning is output when the level of the supporting liquid in the outer sphere is too
low. The supporting liquid is determined by an immersion probe installed in the upper
part of the outer sphere.
You must check the supporting liquid immediately and if necessary top up with distilled
water (only distilled water, one 240cm2 bottle) in to the ventilation outlet until the
measuring cone shows the desired level, the remaining content of the bottle has to be
filled into the inlet for distilled water, see service manual).
This measure does not compensate the planned replacement of the supporting liquid!!!
In certain circumstances (if the level of the supporting liquid falls suddenly) you must
establish the cause (possibly a leak) and correct the fault.
If the level of supporting liquid is too low, the gyro--current is interrupted and an Error is
displayed,the heading information will not longer displayed ( as well as the heading
information to the connected heading receivers).
Please note: At the Operator Unit for Gyro compass STD 20 this warning is shown as
C4 “Temperature”.

3.1.5 Warning 5 “Voltage cut-off”

This warning is output if the supply voltage is cut off for a short time. The cut-off period is
determined by the fall in supporting liquid temperature. If the temperature falls below
45°C the compass recognises that the voltage supply has been switched off in the
conventional way.
In the case of a voltage cut-off (supporting liquid temperature does not fall to below
45°C) and the voltage supply has been restored, the settling stage in indicated again
(see also section 2.1.1 “Compass indications during the settling stage”).
Note: Heading indication can be incorrect. Wait for a complete follow up,
Check voltage supply to the gyro compass!

4 Alarm signalling (in the event of an error)

Alarms are indicated on the compass as follows:

The course is not displayed, as well as at the connected heading receivers !
An alarm signal is indicated on the digital display by means of a flashing Erro (for Error)
(flashing “OFF”), flashing “OFF” occurs only when the voltage is too low.

After the blinking “Erro” the compass internal PC--board which fails and an error code is
displayed (detailled information --> see Service manual).

converter) is switched off.

Caution!
• Maintenance and repair work should be carried out only
by trained and qualified staff who are well versed in
national safety regulations.
• After the gyro compass has been switched off it is
necessary to wait at least 15 minutes before accessing
the interior of the gyro compass.

6 Maintenance

Supporting liquid and distilled water have to be replaced every 18 months. In this
association the respective O--rings should be replaced as well.
A cleaning of the internal of the housing at the bottom case is practically.
Instructions for carrying out this operation are given in the service manual.
