Introduction “The SH-Type Projection Magnetic Compass has been designed and manufactuedin accordance wih JIS F 9107, [SO 488 and complies with the IMO requirements. it provides excelent accuracy and steady performance cepabilties fo @fong period of time. Its can be used net ony as the standard compass but als the steering compass. \When instaling, it must be secured firmly to the ship's compass bridge. using four bots through the hull frame. itis Important that its lubber' Sine is exact intine with the kool ine ofthe ship, “Tose the accurate performance of the compass, selecton of installation postion 's important then refer to tis manual ‘The magnatic compass must be constarty corrected for deviation, snd this correction must be done by experienced and roable personnel, and the exact ‘comecting racords (time, place, msthod, correcting ‘cols, residual deviaton, ete) mast be kop for future ference, Since all the correcting devices ae made of the best quality materials and their characteristics are able to datecocate dus to neat, shocks, et, exercise care wien haneling them. 2 Construction and Specification ‘The standard construction ofthe SH-Type magnetic compass is es follows (Refer to Fig‘). ‘Compass Bow! 1 Binnacte Stand 4 Made of corosion resistant light oy casting and corrosion resistant sheet Heimat 4 Projector Gyindor 1 Fixed to binnacte stand efector Devic 4 Seroon glass and reflector urination Aduster 1 Wallmount ype or fush typ Correcting Tea! set 1.

It fs marked every 1" and also marked with a number of three figures every 10". with reference tothe north indicated by 000 in figure. {. The magnete needa (made of MK magnetic ste) sticks positively to the float, and its magnetism never diminishes dus to ageing. “The suppor jewel is sapphire nthe pivot is made of ium alloy. (2) Binnacle Stand ‘The binnacle stand provides instalation caver for semicircular deviation and healing err correction magnets. Its upper pat is equipped with a projector lamp (40W in epectid votage) anda refector. “The gimbals are U type and ean hold the bowl in horizontal poston against the ship's i of ese than 40" In any direction, caused by pitching and rling, ‘The binnacle stand incorporates the devition correcting devices provided for by the regulations, such as the semickeular deviaon (B,C), quadrantal deviation (©), heeling error (H) correcting devices and the Finder's bar (). ‘The deviation correction dovicgs for the SH-Type Magnet Compass are constructed as flows: 2, Semicicular deviation (B,C) correcting device “Tris devices contained under the cover on the back part af the binnacke stand, Insert holes in the right and ltt forooking corraction arrays ar for B ‘correction and the ones in the at ocking array ee for C correction, ‘The contectons to be carted out by ineartng bars to appropriate holes. », Healing error correcting device This device is secured tothe center of the semicircular deviation corecing device and permis insertion ofa maximum of seven bar magnets. These ere holaing by chain and can be fixed at desired poston., Quacrantal deviation (0) corector cases ‘These cases ae placed symmetrically ane on ether sido of the binnacte stand, ‘each case containing fve correcting sheet magnets. The central one ofthese five shoes is ona lovel withthe magnetic needle inthe bow 4, Finders bar ‘The Flinders bar device ie mounted onthe nack ofthe fre side ofthe binnacie stand and permit insertion ofthe sof steel ber max. 70x 600m €. Lamp undercard (40W cn specified voltage) This lamp Is mounted on the corectng apparatus in the binnacle stand and IMuminates the bow bottom, enabling the personnel to directy read the compass card. This lamp is also used for reading the card when the upper reflector of te compass cannot be employed while astronomical observation is going on. ‘The binnacle stand provides a change-over switch for lamps above and below the cara (9) Optical Cylinder and Projector Devoe 2, The projector device for reflector device s mounted on top of the helmet. The helmet can be removed simpy by removing the wo satscrews but do not touch ‘except roplace of lamp because already adjusted ‘The projector consists of a lame (40W on specified vottage), pug, reflector, oe, 'b. The optical oylinder is contained inthe binnacle stand. The rays of light from the lght source are focused by the reflector and sent into the pial cyinder ‘through the compass card, where they magnify part of the card scale and throw its mage on the projector screen Tho optical eyindor and focus are aready adjusted in factory and not need of readjustment, The projector consists of a cylindor mounted under the binnacle stand and Incorporating amirox and a screen that can be adjusted laterally and vericaly using the extamal handle ‘This eylnerealprojetar projects from the cei of the wheel house, and its levaton and the ange ofits miror may be adusted in accordance vith the level of is viewer's eye. ‘The reasonable viewing angle Qis & ~10" (Refer to Fig 2). Limit of verical acjustmert of the cylinder is :75mm, Adjustment beyond ‘his imit requires modification ofthe staionary part of he eyinder, 4. This projector device can read the compass card scale up to 25° on ether sie ofthe ship's heading. thas two magnifeatons, Helmet The helmet is made of pressed aluminum sheot f.Hluminaton Aduster It consists of a variable resistor to give the proper amount of light to the Projectar or the lower lamp, a change-over switch forthe normal power supply 4and the emergency power supply, fuse and a transformer. Tha intensity of these lamps may be adjust by turing the adjusting kn. “This unit must be installed closed tothe projector inthe wheel house When the other iluminatio adjuster instead of reeroxex is used, afr to tho its instuetion manual 3.

Be careful ‘The curve forthe correction emcunt fs shown inthe attached diagram (see Fig. 3), and users ara requested ta make use of. (@) Make the heating ervor correction. “This s called the H-correction and done to cancel the vertical magnetism ofthe ship's hu Since the upper part ofa ship's hul is usually magnetized blue (wth S polarity) in the northem hemisphere (In seme rao eases, its magnalzed with the opposte Polarity), make the deviation correction by inserting vertical magnets with thelr red Poles (N) up. In the southern hemisphere, this procedure must be reversed. Even in the same herisphere, the ship navigates fom law to high atudos, the ‘magnetism ofthe hull wil be Itensfed and the amcurt of correction will have to be increased correspondingly, Accordingly, deviation correction done in the mide lattudes ofthe nocthern hemisphere has to be done again by nereasing the correcting magnet as the ship goes to higher latitudes or by decreasing the ‘magnet as th ship goes to love latitudes. Sometimes the pole of the correcting magnet wil have to be reversed when Inserted, I the ship goes southward across the equator to high laude in the southem hemisphere. This sort of healing ero: corection is imperative for a ship wth a wide scope of actly, and the unsteady performance ofa marine's compass when the ship has moved to diferent lattudes is mainly due to the ‘maladjustment of the compass for healing err. Since the ial hoolng erot correction is usually performed by experts using a vertical fore incctor the ship Personnel has enly to do supplementary adjustments, which are performed as follows: while stocring a course of nothin stormy weather, increase or decrease number of vetical magnets so that the compass does not swingin high latitudes ofthe southern hemisphere, reveree the poe dretion of the magnets. - 0(6) Deviation due to vertical softron pats of ship ‘This deviation is caused by the temporary magnetization of the fore-anc-aft soft iron pats ofthe ship, such asthe mast, funnel, wheel house wall, tc, induced by the earth's vertical magnetism. This type of deviation is comected by the inder's bar, although itis usualy compensated fo by the sforemeriioned B-and -coweetion. Incase the compass Is arranged too close to the fore wal of the whee! house, spacial attention must be paid to this sort of deviation. Thats to say when the shia greatly changes is course (for example, when the ship enfers the southern hemisphere), the compass begins o work iegulaly in certain courses. As aru, the compass swings when te shi is headed nortn and remains very stsady when the ship is headed south. ina case ofthis king, stop the swing by inserting the proper numbar of Finder's bars, when tis necessary to readjust he B-corecton. 8, Precautions for Deviation Correction (7) When taking bearings by means of cross bearing of targets, never fal to draw a line connecting @ point on two targets.
