General Safety Information for the Operator
Risk of Deviation
Never rely on the heading indication of an analogue compass repeater
alone to navigate a vessel or to perform other safety-critical operations.
The analogue repeater is an indicator only and will indicate ship’s heading as long as it receives formally valid data. It does not apply any filtering or plausibility checks of the incoming data.
Loss of data supply will result in a visual error indication but will not
raise an audible alarm.
Always confirm the plausibility of the heading indication at the repeater
against the respective source which generates the heading data.
In safety-critical operations, regularly check the data source and the
repeater’s indication against all available aids to navigation.
Risk of using magnetic heading data for steering
The magnetic heading repeater is equipped with a removable cover, hiding the compass card when navigating the vessel under normal use, as
the magnetic heading repeater is only classified for steering purposes in
case of emergency with other heading sources not available.
Never remove the cover from the magnetic heading repeater when navigating the vessel under normal use, to avoid steering the vessel mistakenly by magnetic compass heading.
Risk of using invalid heading data
The heading indication at the repeater is only valid if the error indicator
is off and exactly one of the source indicators is permanently lit.
In case the error indicator in on and one or all of the source indicators
are flashing the heading indication of the repeater must be considered
as invalid and the heading data must not be used for steering the vessel.
Risk of injury
Permanent eye damage may result, when looking directly at the sun or
at its reflection in the black azimuth mirror when using the azimuth
device PV 23.
The PV 23 is not suited for taking the azimuth of the sun itself, as the
anti-glare filters do not sufficiently block out direct sunlight.
Never look directly at the sun or at its reflection in the black azimuth mirror when using the azimuth device PV 23.
Risk of freeze
The bearing repeater 5016-CA is equipped with capacitive keys, sensitively reacting to the fingers skin resistance which will not function
when touched with gloves.
In case of minus temperatures always be extremely careful not to touch
the metal housing of the bearing repeater to avoid freeze of hands and
fingers.
viii
The capacitive keys of the bearing repeater 5016-CA are sensitive against
surface water, e.g. remaining rain drops, which may result in random
changing of the illumination brightness.
This effect does not have any impact on the functionality or handling of
the capacitive keys.

Risk of damage though solar radiation
The bearing repeater 5016-CA is equipped with a cover plate for protection against solar radiation.
It is recommended to always protect the bearing repeater with the cover
plate when not in use.
Risk of damage
The cover plate, protecting the bearing repeater 5016-CA against solar
radiation, must never be touched with tools to avoid any damage.
Always install and remove the cover plate with bare hands only.
Risk of damage through wrong cleaning agent
The front plates of the compass repeaters are sensitive against aggressive cleaning agents as organic solvents or acetone.
Do not clean the front plate with organic solvents, acetone or any other
aggressive cleaning agent.
Use only water and soap or a mild detergent to clean the front plate.
Risk of unnecessary wear
The bearing repeater 5016-CA can optionally be equipped with a watertight plastic cover for protection against environmental conditions.
It is recommended to always protect the bearing repeater with the plastic
cover when not in use.
Risk of damage
The prismatic azimuth device PV23 and the telecopic alidade are not
designed to stay permanently mounted on the bearing repeater.
Leaving the PV23 or the alidade on the bearing repeater after usage, will
cause wear and damage to the equipment.
Always remove the PV23 or the alidade from the bearing repeater and
store it carefully away in its storage box.
The repeater compasses do not possess an audible alarm indicator.

General Safety Information for Service Personnel
Risk of wrong installation
Wrong positioning of the bearing stand will obstruct to take bearings.
Always make sure that the bearing stand is so positioned that the vessel’s superstructure does not unduly obstruct the view of the horizon.
In case one bearing stand does not allow to take bearings in a full circle
of 360°, a second bearing stand must be installed for compensation.
Risk of damage
The compass repeaters are heavy instruments. The compass repeater
cables are not designed for holding the repeater just with the cable.
Never hold or transport the repeater on the cable alone when installing
or wearing a compass repeater.
Risk of damage
The bearing repeater is a heavy instrument.
To avoid any damage during installation of the bearing repeater into the
gimbal ring, the installation should be carried out by two service persons.
Risk of malfunction
Do not lengthen the cable between the bulkhead repeater and the connection box as the USB service port will not work reliably.
If the connection box cannot be installed at an accessible location close
to the repeater, it will be required to unmount and disassemble the
repeater to gain access to the internal USB receptacle when configuring
or servicing the device.
If the repeater cable is connected directly to shipside terminals, the external USB port may not be used and its four wires must be connected to
blind terminals.
Risk of damage through unauthorized service
The housing of the bearing repeater 5016-CA is designed for increased
watertightness and shall therefore not be opened in the field.
Opening the housing in the field will diminish the watertightness and
may lead to condensation forming on the inside surfaces, especially the
top glass, at a later point in time.
Never open the bearing repeater housing in the field.
Always return a defective bearing repeater to Sperry Marine.
Risk of damage through unauthorized service
The analogue compass repeaters are complex electronic devices, which
are not serviceable in the field down to the level of individual circuit components.
Defective units must be sent back to Sperry Marine for repair.
x
Risk of damage of electrostatic-discharge-sensitive components
The analogue compass repeaters contain electrostatic sensitive components. Electrostatic discharge may permanently damage components.
When servicing an analogue compass repeater, take precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge. Avoid touching any of the electronic circuitry.

Risk of parameter settings loss
It cannot be guaranteed that the repeater’s configuration parameter settings are left intact during a firmware update.
Before updating firmware, record all parameter settings to be able to reenter them manually, if required.
The analogue compass repeaters are serviced and configured using the
Sperry Universal Setup Instrument (SUSI).
This tool is provided to authorized service personnel only and is generally not available to end-customers.
Exact voltage levels must be checked with a voltmeter true RMS.
The data content on serial I/O lines must be checked with the aid of suitable analysing tools, such as PC-based protocol interpreters or terminal

Chapter 1:Introduction
1.1System Description
Intended Use
The analogue compass repeaters are remote heading indicators which
display ship’s heading (secondary heading data), provided by a connected gyrocompass as active heading source (primary heading data),
and must only be operated from appropriately trained and educated
personnel familiar with all mandatory safety and operating procedures.
The prismatic azimuth device PV23 is a classified compass bearing
device designed for usage together with the bearing repeater 5016-CA.
Not Intended Use
The analogue compass repeaters are not allowed to be used for the navigation of inland water vessels and river boats. Any exception to this
restriction must be regulated by specific certification of an entitled
organisation or administration, for further details see certification information under ‘Design and Main Features” on page 1-2 and ‘Declaration
of Conformity” on page 1-15.
The magnetic heading repeater, type 5016-CC, is only classified for steering purposes in case of emergency when the gyrocompass(es) as primary heading source(s) are not available and must not be used for
navigating the vessel under normal conditions.
The telescopic alidade, stock no 60280, is not type approved as compass
bearing device, therefore it cannot be used to fulfil the carriage requirements.
System Description1-1
056376/AAnalogue Compass Repeaters
1.2Design and Main Features
The analogue compass repeaters are remote heading indicators which
display ship’s heading (secondary heading data), provided by a connected gyrocompass as active heading source (primary heading data),
using a rotating compass card assembly.
The repeaters are available in four type variants:
•Bearing Repeater, Type 5016-CA
•Steering Repeater, Type 5016-CB
•Magnetic Heading Repeater, Type 5016-CC
•Bulkhead Repeater, Type 5016-CD
The analogue compass repeaters have been type-approved by Germanischer Lloyd (GL), in accordance with the Maritime Equipment Directive
(MED) 96/98/EC as amended, as
gyrocompass accessory equipment
in the type approval certificates of the
Sperry Marine gyrocompass systems
NAVIGAT X MK 1 (certificate no. 94418-10HH, 94428-10HH),
NAVIGAT X MK 2 (certificate no. 94420-10HH),
NAVIGAT 2100 (certificate no. 94416-10HH, 94426-10HH)and
NAVIGAT 3000 (certificate no. 37757-12HH, 37957-12HH).
The analogue compass repeaters comply with the following specified
standard as gyrocompass accessory equipment:
IMO resolution MSC.116(73).
For further details see “Declaration of Conformity” on page 1-15.
Heading data is received at an RS-422 serial data input, using the
NMEA 0183/IEC 61162 or the Plath binary protocol. The repeaters are
able to auto-detect the input data protocol and baudrate at power-up
and will self-synchronize with the input heading received.
Depending on the currently active heading source, the repeaters will
indicate true heading from a gyrocompass (GYRO), or a transmitting
heading device (THD1), or magnetic compass heading (raw or corrected
for deviation and/or variation) from a magnetic compass (MAG). The
active source is constantly highlighted at the repeater by a backlit indicator (“GYRO, “THD” or “MAG”).
Graduations and numbering of the cards’ scales appear white on a
matte black background. The cards are backlit by dimmable white LEDs.
A set of dimmer push buttons is integrated into the repeater front plate
of the steering repeater, type 5016-CB, magnetic heading repeater, type
5016-CC and the Bulkhead Repeater, type 5016-CD whereas the bearing
repeater, type 5015-CA, is designed with a new glass front and capacitive dimmer keys instead.
All repeater variants feature a 360° and a 10° compass card, except for
the magnetic heading repeater, where the 10° card is not assembled.
1. In the context of this manual, “THD” refers to a transmitting heading device
according to IMO MSC.116(73) or IEC 22090 parts 1-3 respectively.
1-2Design and Main Features
Analogue Compass Repeaters056376/A
The magnetic heading repeater, type 5016-CC, is preconfigured to indicate magnetic compass heading only, regardless of which source is currently active.
The magnetic heading repeater is equipped with a removable cover, hiding the compass card when navigating the vessel under normal use, as
the magnetic heading repeater is only classified for the indication of
magnetic heading data in case of emergency when the gyrocompass(es)
as primary heading source(s) are not available and the vessel is actually
steered by magnetic compass heading.
1.3Functional Description
The compass card assembly is driven through a gear train by a stepper
motor. To ensure smooth and silent operation, the microprocessorized
motor control uses micro stepping. Photo interrupters detect when the
compass cards pass their zero positions at 360° and every 10°, respectively, allowing minor step losses to be automatically corrected during
operation.
Once valid heading data is received, the heading to be indicated is translated into a counter value representing the required compass cards’ offset from the North (zero) position. A second counter is maintained for
the cards’ current offset.
The motor control constantly executes a routine to minimize the difference between these two offsets, thus making the compass cards followup to the heading to be indicated.
The position of the cards is held in non-volatile memory, so that it is not
normally required to zero (re-synchronize) the cards upon power-up.

1.4Compass Repeater Type Variants
Bearing Repeater
The bearing repeater, type 5016-CA, is gimbal-mounted for usage in a
bearing stand or in a repeater bracket attached to a bulwark. The bowlshaped watertight housing with new glass front permits installation at
exposed locations. The new capacitive keys of the bearing repeater front
increase additionally the watertightness of the housing.
The capacitive keys of the bearing repeater 5016-CA are sensitive against
surface water, e.g. remaining rain drops, which may result in random
changing of the illumination brightness.
This effect does not have any impact on the functionality or handling of
the capacitive keys.
The bearing repeater is equipped with a cover plate against solar radiation. For optimum protection and long term usage without unnecessary
wear, a watertight cover protecting against environmental conditions is
available as an optional accessory for the bearing stand.
In addition to the regular heading scales, the bearing repeater features
an azimuth scale on the 360° card and a graduated verge ring for taking
absolute and relative bearings with the azimuth device PV 23 (optional
accessory).
Steering Repeater
The steering repeater, type 5016-CB, is the type variant most commonly
used as steering compass repeater on the bridge.
It is suitable for direct console mounting or mounting in a console frame
and may be installed horizontally, vertically or inclined.
The steering repeater is normally installed at a protected location. It may
be installed at an exposed location if directly mounted to the console
using a watertight seal.
The repeater is equipped with a removable sun shade.
Magnetic Heading Repeater
The magnetic heading repeater, type 5016-CC, designed for console
mount, is preconfigured to permanently indicate magnetic compass
heading only.
It possesses no 10° card. Instead, the 360° card is graduated every 1°.
The magnetic repeater is to be used only as an emergency steering
repeater in case of failure of the gyrocompass(es).
To prevent its indication from being mistaken for the reference to steer
by, the magnetic repeater is equipped with a removable cover, which
should be removed only in case of failure of the gyrocompass(es), when
the vessel is actually steered by magnetic compass heading.
1-4Compass Repeater Type Variants
Analogue Compass Repeaters056376/A

2.2Powering up the Repeaters
The analogue compass repeaters are not equipped with power
switches. The devices power up as soon as supply power is applied.
2.3Data Protocol and Source Detection
When it is first connected to the gyrocompass system, the repeater
auto-detects the communication parameters by checking for a valid protocol/baudrate combination in the following order:
•NMEA 0183 at 4800 Bd.
•NMEA 0183 at 38400 Bd.
•NMEA 0183 at 9600 Bd.
•NMEA 0183 at 19200 Bd.
•Plath binary format (9600 Bd.)
Once the repeater has recognized valid data, it stores the communication parameters and will re-activate them at subsequent power-ups to
become quickly operative. Should no data be recognized using the
stored communication parameters, the repeater executes the autodetection routine again.
The communication protocol and baudrate may be hard-set in the
repeater configuration. This will disable auto-detection.
Within a standard Sperry Marine NAVIGAT gyrocompass system, the
analogue repeater will receive the heading source selection status from
the compass system.
If the NMEA 0183 protocol is used, the repeater evaluates the proprietary $PPLAN or $PPNSD sentences. If the PLATH protocol is used, the
heading data itself contains a source indicator.
In systems where the NMEA 0183 protocol is used but no $PPLAN or
$PPNSD sentences are received, the repeater determines the active
source by searching the incoming data for valid heading sentences in
the following order of priority:
•$HETHS (source = GYRO)
•any $--THS, except $GPTHS (source = GYRO)
•$HEHDT (source = GYRO)
•any $--HDT, except $GPHDT or $HCHDT (source = GYRO)
•$GPTHS (source = THD)
•$GPHDT (source = THD)
•$HCHDT (source = MAG)
•$HCHDM (source = MAG)
•$HCHDG (source = MAG)
The range of recognized sentences for each source may be restricted by
hard-setting the accepted sentences in the repeater configuration.
Should the currently active heading source get lost, a timeout condition
will occur, the compass card may freeze and the repeater will search the
incoming data for other valid heading sentences in order of priority.
