Gyro Compass
Standard 20 M

The Anschütz Gyro Compass Standard 20 M is a derivation of the
widespread and well proven Standard 20.
The Standard 20 M gyro compass system is a modern, modular sy-
stem that represents the very latest state of the art gyro compass,
and has been specially designed for naval vessel applications.
Its modular construction in both hard- and software enables it to
be custom-fit to any installation requirement. It is exceptionally
easy to operate, and can be expanded from a single gyro compass
to a fully redundant twin system if desired. Overall performance
and reliability are second to none.

Outstanding features
• highest heading accuracy
• absolute digital pick-off
• digital self-synchronizing
transmission system
• digital and analogue outputs
• speed error correction
• dynamic error correction
• flexible interfaces to log and GPS
• easy to operate and service-friendly
• easy to extend;
extensions practically unlimited
• low lifecycle cost
• can be fully incorporated into Control Unit
Inertial Navigation Systems
• quick settling mode (option)

Performance Characteristics
The complete system consists of
– Gyro compass Standard 20 M with shock absorber
– Control unit with shock absorber
– Operator unit (desk mounted)
– Casing for operator unit (option).
The Standard 20 M generates an accurate directional reference
signal indicating the ship's heading relative to True North. It can be
used as heading main reference or as back-up system.
The Standard 20 M is equipped with an optical pick-up system with
a 16-bit (0.3 arc min) resolution, thus enabling digital signal
processing.
The sensor and system electronics, which incorporates microprocessor
techniques, converts the gyro signal into a serial data format.
The inherent speed error of a gyro compass, which is caused by a
physical dependence on latitude, ship's speed and heading, is cor-
rected automatically by the use of postion and speed input from
GPS and log.
Digital processing is also used to improve the dynamic behaviour
of the compass.
The Standard 20 M can be equipped with
coarse/ fine (1x / 36x) synchro outputs (90V / 400Hz).
Two versions are available:
– low power output, up to 2 VA
– high power output, up to 15 VA.
A quick settling function option to reduce the settling time is
available.
