R Anschütz Rate-of-Turn Gyro Equipment

Raytheon Anschütz Rate-of-Turn Gyro The rate gyro is an aid for steering and manoeuvring of seagoing vessels. The gyro element is a component of the well-proven Anschütz gyro technology and thus a guarantee for reliability, precision and long life; developed for round-the-clock operation. The use of the most modern microprocessor technology for internal process and signal treatment makes the rate-of-turn indicator an intelligent, selfmonitoring sensor which can be integrated very flexibly into sophisticated navigation systems. The operator- and indicator unit with either 30°/min, ioo°/min...

Tasks Areas of application The rate-of-turn indicator has the task of assisting radar navigation by measuring and indicating the swing (rate of turn) of the ship to port and starboard. In conjunction with course-keeping devices (autopilot) the rate gyro, as sensor system, provides the turning rate reference. On seagoing ships, the rate-of-turn indicator serves primarily as a navigating support for sensing and indicating swing. For seagoing vessels of 50,000 grt and more, an RoT indicator is required equipment. 24 V DC • • • • • Correction link for doppler log equipment Control of fin...
