1.4 Tips on Usage

What should you do in the following situations?

(1) If there seems to be an error in the heading of the ship which is

indicated by a repeater compass or an auto-pilot:

- Check the speed-error correction value.

(2) If the speed-error correction value is inadequate:

- Enter the ship's correct speed and latitude, using command codes 21-
and 22 (see Subsection 4.5.2 in this manual).

(3) If an abnormal sound occurs in the master compass:

- <1> Check for an error in the master and repeater compass readings.
If there is no error, the master compass can be used as is for the
time being.
<2> If there is an error, switch the azimuth sensor to "EXT" (exter-
nal sensor), using command code 20 (see Subsection 4.5.1 in this
manual).

Note: In either case, replace the gyrosphere as soon as possible.

(4) If the ship's speed log fails:

- Select the manual setting and enter the ship's speed from the
numeric keypad using command code 21 (see Subsection 4.5.2 (1) in
this manual).

(5) If the latitude signal sensor (e.g., GPS) fails:

- Select the manual setting and enter the latitude from the numeric
keypad using command code 22 (see Subsection 4.5.2 (2) in this -
.

manual).
(6) If you want to know the gyrosphere running time:

- Use command code 13 to display the gyrosphere running time. The

gyrosphere running time must be reset to zero when the gyrosphere is
replaced. (See Subsection 4.4.4 in this manual.)

(7) If you want to know the level of the phase current for the gyrosphere:

- . -
Use command code 15 to display the phase current value (see
Subsection 4.4.6 in this manual).
(8) If you want to set the timer for automatic restarting:
- Use command code 29 to set the timer (see Subsection 4.5.6 in
this manual).

(9) If you want to reset the gyrosphere running time:

- Use command code 34 to reset the gyrosphere running time (see

Subsection 6.3.4 in this manual).
2. OVERVIEW

2.1 . General

The CMZSOO is a highly reliable, accurate gyrocompass, featuring a compact,

light-weight, low-power-consumption design. The CMZSOO fully complies with
the gyrocompass performance standard IMO recommended A.424(XI) as well as
JIS-F9602, class A standard.

(1) High accuracy

The twin gyro rotors, in the gyrosphere, rotate at high speed, and are
interconnected to compensate the errors caused by rolling and pitching
of the ship, thus ensuring excellent accuracy.

(2) Ingenious damping mechanism for vibration and shock

The container of the gyrosphere is filled with supporting liquid. And

the container is supported by unti-vibration mechanism which is
composed of rubber damping diaphragm and air damping chamber. These
arrangement works successfully to absorb vibration and shock of the
hull.

(3) Enhanced follow-up performance

A velocity-control digital servo system enhances follow-up performance

(maximum follow-up speed: 12 deg/sec). The mechanism for detecting
azimuth deviations automatically optimizes the follow-up control gain
to match the electrical characteristics of the supporting liquid.

(4) Easy speed error correction

The speed error can automatically be corrected based on the ship's

speed signal received from the speed measuring equipment and the --
latitude signal from GPS or other position fixing equipment. In case
of manual setting, a change in the latitude is dead-reckoned based on
the ship's speed and heading.

(5) Various display functions

Various data such as the true heading, compass heading, ship's speed,
latitude, and gyro running hours can be displayed on the digital
display.

(6) Variety of outputs ..

Synchro, stepper, NMEA0183 digital, and analog (0 to 5V) outputs are

available as standard to meet a wide range of needs.
(7) Onboard battery drive

The CMZ500 can be driven by an onboard 24V M: battery.

(8) Remote operation

The optional remote unit allows the gyrocompass system to be remotely

controlled. This feature is suitable for one-man bridge console.

(9) Built-in restart timer

The gyrocompass system can be restarted automatically after a speci-:
fied duration (1 to 99 hours).

2.3 Handling Precautions

2.3.1 Starting the Gyrocompass

(1) Start up the gyrocompass system at least 5 hours before

leaving port.

(2) After starting up the system, do not touch the internal unit
of the master compass to avoid damaging the unit or causing
an error and for your safety.

2.3.2 Care of the Gyrocompass at Lower Temperatures

The gyrosphere is installed in the master compass container filled

with supporting liquid. Therefore, if the gyrocompass is stopped
at -ambient temperature of -3degC or less, take the following
precautions:

(1) If stopped for a few days

Cover the master compass unit with a blanket to keep it wann.

(2) If stopped for extended periods

Remove the supporting liquid from the container.

If an error occurs, it may be identified from the error code which appears
on the display of the control box. There-are twomtypes-'of'code+:"'one-is-for
errors detected during self-TEST in the -cant-rol-mit- (displayed-using<---
command code 26); the other is for errors detected duping self-TEST'in the
operation unit (displayed using command code 27). First, enter command
code "26E" to check control unit error codes. If an.errorcede for a
detected error is '074, for example, this error occurred in the operationJ
unit. Enter command code "27E1'to obtain further details of this error.

Adjust the reading of repeater compass 2 to the other repeater
compass reading (repeater compass reading) in the following
manner:

-<Manual alignment of repeater reading>

Loosen the nut in the middle of the face glass of the repeater
compass.
Put an appropriate size of minus screwdriver in the slit
on the plug in the middle of the face glass.
Turn the plug while pressing it with the screwdriver, and set
the repeater'compass reading to the master compass reading.
Remove the screwdriver from the plug. Then, securely tighten
the nut until the plug is raised.

6.1 Installation Notes
The yrocompass system must be installed carefully with special attention
to tf!e points described in the followin subsections in order to ensure
S
accurate, trouble-free operation for a ong time and to facilitate mainte-
nance.
6.1.1 Vibration Resistance
Securely reinforce the following floors and walls to prevent resonant
vibration with the hull: the floors on which the master compass, a horizon-
tal stand is installed; the walls on which a control box, horizontal
bracket, course recorder, digital repeater or other equipment is installed.
6.1.2 Parallel Alignment of Lubber Lines
The lubber line of the master corn ass and that of the re eater compass
f
mounted on a horizontal stand or Eracket must be paralle to the
bow-to-stern line of the ship within a tolerance of f0.2 degrees. This
parallel alignment is the basis for the accuracy of azimuth measurement.
6.1.3 Service Areas
Adequate space should be provided to allow for easy operation and mainte-
nance. The figures given below show the necessary service areas.
(1) Master Compass

(2) Control Box

A 100 MIN

< V i e w from X or Y>

6.1.4 No Megger Test
To avoid degradation of electronic parts, the master compass and control
box must not be subjected to insulation resistance tests and a megger test .
6.2 Overhaul and Assembly
This section describes how to overhaul and assemble the master compass.

6.2.1 Precautions on Overhaul

(1) Do not overhaul the master compass or remove the gyros here within 90
minutes after the gyrocompass power has been turned of?.:
(2) Before starting overhaul, tidy the work area, secure there is enough :
lighting, and get all the necessary tools ready. Use the right size
of screwdrivers and wrenches to avoid damaging screws and nuts.
(3) Overhaul in the following manner to make easy reassembly:
. must
Before staqtin overhaul put marks on the points where components
be allgnea with each other.
.. Temporarily insert removed screws in the holes where they belong.
Place removed components on clean paper or cloth in the order that
they were removed.
. When djsconnecting wires, record the wire colors or put a mark on
each w u e .
(4) Do not overhaul unnecessary sections; overhaul only the minimum.
(5) Never overhaul the gyrosphere.

2 Installing the Gyrosphere

Remove the front cover, and discon- 4-p.

Further overhaul should be avoided as much as possible. If it is

required on board, overhaul the unit very carefully making sure that
you can reassemble it completely. If you need any assistance, please
contact our service division.

6.2.4 Aligning the Repeater Compass Card Reading

In general, once the indication of the repeater compass (including the
control box with speed-error correction) 1s aligned to the master compass,
no more adjustments are required. However, it 1s advisable to make sure
the two compasses are aligned before starting operation.
(1) Loosen the nut in the middle of the face glass of the repeater compass
card.
--
(2) Put an appropriate size of minus screwdriver in the slit on the plug
in the middle of the face glass.
(3) Turn the plug while pressing it with the screwdriver, and set-the
repeater compass card reading to the master compass card reading.
(4) Remove the screwdriver from the plug. Then, securely tighten the nut
until the plug 1s raised.
- The above aligning must be done while the gyrocompass is operating. (If a
control box with speed-error correction is used, specify "0" as the set
speed.)

A simulated output of any of the following signals can be selektetl using

this function: analog heading signal, analog quadrant signal, Br analog
rate-of-turn signal. Enter the command code "31EV1to enable this function.

Press one of the following keys to

select a channel from which a simulated
signad is output:

' 0 ' key : Analog heading signal (HDG)

' 1' key : Analog quadrant signal (QUD)
'2' key : Rate-of-turn signal (ROT)

After selecting a channel, press the "E" key. The'next step is to specify
the voltage of the simulated output. If you select an incorrect channel
and press the "E" key, the display returns to channel setting mode again.
Pressing the "C" key instead of "E" cancels the selected channel and
returns the display to command wait mode.

Enter the desired voltage of the

simulated output using the numeric
keys and sign keys (period, plus,
or minus).

Press the "En key to allow the specified signal voltage to be output from
the specified channel. If the "C" key is pressed instead of "E", the
setting is canceled and the display returns to command wait mode. You can
also return to the DAC channel setting mode by pressing the "4' key.

Once a channel enters the simulated output state, it remains in this state
until this command is canceled by the "C" key. Therefore, it is possible
to put all three channels in the simulated output state.

6.4.7 Installation-Error Compensation for the Master Compass

When installing the CMZ500 master compass, its heading 'must-be-parallel to

the bow-to-stern line of the ship. If it is not parallel, compensate the
installation error by making mechanical adjustments or entering the compen-
sation value using the keys on the operation panel. However, the keys
should only be used as a fine adjustment ,aftermaking mechanical adjust-
ments or if mechanical adjustments cannot be made, use-he mechanical
method whenever possible.

(1) Compensation by making mechanical adjustments

First check that the heading of the repeater compass for.klestia1
observation is parallel to the bow-to-stern line of the- ship: If it is
not, correct the heading of the repeater compass (paralle3ism f 0.2 deg),
then adjust the lubber line of the master compass.
<Adjusting the heading of the master compass> \
. Remove the top cover from the master compass.
. Loosen the bolts which fasten the follow-up mechanism.
. Adjust the heading of the master compass.

- 1. Speed Error

Speed error occurs when a ship equipped with a gyrocompass sails north or
- south, and the value of the error is a function of the ship's speed,
course, and latitude. The error is completely unrelated to the model or
type of gyrocompass.

The north-seeking tendency of the gyrocompass is well-known, due to the .

earth's rotation. When a ship equipped with a gyrocompass moves across the
earth, the gyrocompass is influenced by the combined movement of the ship's - --
own movement and the earth's rotation. When the s h i p - ~ i E s - anortherly--- - --
or southerly course, the direction of the combined movement'de-viatesl-in
proportion to the north-south component of the ship's movement. This - - -

causes the gyrocompass to indicate the vertical direct'ion, resulting-inan

error. Thus, speed error is the difference between

- Assuming that 6 is small, 6 is expressed in radians as:

sin6 = 6 (radian) = W7.36 (unit: degree)
6 = 57.3 vcos~/90ocos8
Example : When a ship is at the equator (rp = 0) and is sailing due north
(0 = 0) at a speed of 30 knots, her speed error is calculated
as follows:

When angle 6 is between 270deg and 90deg, the compass indication increases;
therefore, the ship's true course is as follows:

If the ship's course is north, the true course is given by shtracting the
speed error from the reading of the master compass; if the ship's course is
south, the true course is given by adding the speed error to the reading o£
the master compass. The following examples show how to calculate the speed
error from the ship's speed, course, and latitude. The true course is then
obtained from the following calibration chart: L

AS
the ship is sailing towards the north, the true course is 30deg - l.ldeg =

28.9deg.

Now assume that the ship is near latitude 40deg, the reading of the cpurse
is 150deg, and the ship's speed is 16 knots. Since the ship is now sailing
towards the south, the true course is 150deg + l.ldeg = 151.ldeg.

<I> Locate the ship's speed (V) on the horizontal axis.

<2> Draw a vertica1,straight line from this point on the horizontal

north or south.

intersection point until it intersects with the line of the

Appendix 2 Operating Principle

2.1 Gyro
. - , .. - ..- I *

. A gyro is supported by both horizontal and.vertical.axes 'which simulta-

neously are free to turn in any directionzand~the~,centersfof gravity of-the
gyro and its supporting frames lie where the,axes-crossLc.(vbzh-
(the,.gyro and
.,
the axes of its supporting frames are free) (Figure 1) 1.f the gyro is
given a fast rotation, then even if the stand belpw is tilted or turned,
the direction of the gyro axis will not change, .This is because the
magnitude and direction of the rotating inertia are preserved provided .
there is no friction or external force to disturb them. Phis ability to -
maintain the magnitude and direction of rotation is the principle of the
gyro
Next, if a weight is attached to
tip (A) of a rotating axis of the
gyro (Figure 2), then side (A) goes
down a little at that moment. At
the same time, the gyro continues
to turn with that weight attached
as it is. This means that the gyro
is rotated due to the weight around
axis BB1 and this produces a torque
around the vertical axis which
causes the gyro to turn in the
direction of the arrow. Because of
this rotation,: a torque around
axis B is produced and this sup-
ports the weight of the weight.
This is called "precessionw and is
a typical characteristic of the
gyroscope.
1 . c '
--
Assuming that there is no frictional force ato,ea is, then the angular
momentum of the gyro [(momentum of inertia).^ (rotating speed)], the
applied torque, and the speed of precession*thatoccurs as a result of the
torque are related as follows:
(1) Magnitude : (angular momentum) x (precession speed) = torque

(2) Direction : Direction of vector is shown in the drawing.

2.2 North-seeking Tendency of Gyroc

Assume that a weight is attached to

just below the. supporting frame of Precession speed
the gyro as shown in Figure 3, and
that the torque of the gyro, the
supporting frame and the weight all .
lie just below the crossing of each
axis and that there is practically .
no frictional force in either the
horizontal or vertical axis. Then,
gravity and the earth's rotation
cause point A to oscillate in the
up/down and left/right drawing an'
elliptical'orbit. The center of
this ellipse faces north. If a
proper damping device is fitted,
the amplitude of the oscillation
decreases gradually and eventually
stops facing north. This is the Figure 3
gyrocompass. This north-seeking
tendency is described in more
detail as follows:
Rotation angular
~ i ~ u r4eshows the earth's rota-
tion. At point p which is on speed (omega)
latitude q , the component of the t
earth's angular speed o is given
by:
Around the *verticalaxis, osinq
(rotating.movement)
Around the horizontal meridian,
ocoscp (tilting movement)
Put the gyro shown in Figure 3 on
this point p with A facing east and
B west and with the axis horizontal
(Figure 5 ) . The gyro preserves the
first indication as it is. Howev- I
er, as the base continues to tilt Figure 4
as time goes by, end A begins to go
up while end B begins to go down
relative to the horizontal plane.
This tendency produces a torque
that restores axis AB to the hori- up asin g,
zontal. The gyro causes precession W
and, .with it tilting, end A turns
in the direction that approaches
north.
when endTheA arrives

 and end A continues to turn to the
west. When end A arrives at a
point west of the meridian, the
tilting of the base begins to work
in such a way that end A goes down.
The torque due to the weight gradu-
ally decreases and, when end A
" reaches the west end, the preces-
sion stops. Next, end A begins to , .
go down and to turn to the north ., . Figure 6 / j

simi-larly. Thus, an elliptical

movement with north as its center
is described as shown in Figure 6.

This elliptical movement is reduced to zero when heading north. This

movement is utilized for the gyrocompass. When the gyro axis is aligned
with the meridian, end A does not go up or down from the horizontal and
stops. If, however, end A is tilting in either the east or west direction,
end A will go up or down from the horizontal, causes precession and begins
to move towards north. When end A stops facing north, it is in a state
equivalent to causing the same recession movement in space against the
earth's rotating component wsinrp (rotating movement).
This is the theory of the north-seeking tendency. In a practical gyrocom-
pass, however, there are vibrations due to the rolling and'pi'tclirng'afth"e
ship. One gyro is not sufficient to withstand such external movements and
ensure stable operation; Therefore, two gyros'are-connected'bya sp'ecial
mechanical construction such that when any extehal force is applied to the
two gyros, .each gyro causes precession. Thus, for theJ'samereason'diat a
force is produced by supporting a weight, these j?recessio&' cancel' "6'
f .5-'
'
ahy
external force, thus avoiding errors due to vibration. + %ventin this case,
the direction of the combined angular momentum remains constant an'Cl'nothing
affects the north-seeking tendency. Since the north-seeking force'of fhe '

gyro is very small and delicate, the frictional forces of the horizontal
and vertical axes must also be very small so that they do not disturb the
north-seeking force.

2.3.1 Speed Error

. , ,
Refer to-Appendix 1 "Speed Error and Speed,ErrorCarribration Chart."

2.3.2 Acceleration Error

When a ship increases or decreases sailing speed or changes course, a

torque is added to the gyrosphere because the center of gravity of the
gyrosphere is located below its own center of buoyancy. This causes the
north-seeking force of the gyrosphere to vary, and the value of this
variation depends on the position of the center of gravity. As the value:
of the speed error also varies according to how the ship changes course and
speed, it is possible to adjust the position of the center of gravity so .
that the variations in the indication of course and speed change offset
each other. In this gyrocompass, the center of gravity of the gyrosphere
is well designed so that the acceleration error is zero. (As a result, when
the damper of the gyrosphere is removed, the oscillation period is approxi-
mately 85 minutes. )

2.3.3 Rolling Error

If the swinging perio&.df the gyrosphere around the north-south axis and
the east-west axis differ greatly and the gyrosphere is always swung by the
ship's rolling and pitching, an error occurs depending on the period and
direction (against the gyrosphere) of the rolling and pitching. To prevent
this error, the.gyrosphere is constructed,with two gyros and the periods
around the'?north-south axis and the east-west axis.are made similar.
Moreover, - to stabilize th; gyrocompass indication, -thecontainer of the
gyrosphere is shielded from the continuous swings by a damper fitted to the
suspending meclianism of the container.
