WARNING

Note

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.

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

CAUTION

Note

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.

056376/A Analogue Compass Repeaters

CAUTION

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.

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

CAUTION

Note

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 programs.

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 System 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 Description 1-1

056376/A Analogue Compass Repeaters

1.2 Design 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.

1-2 Design and Main Features

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/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.

1.3 Functional 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.

1.4 Compass 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.

1-4 Compass Repeater Type Variants

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

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.

2-2 Powering up the Repeaters

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

WARNING

Only if no valid heading sentences are received at all, the repeater will raise an error. The error indicator will flash synchronously with one or all source indicators to indicate that no active heading data are currently received. The error indication will last until the valid heading data are again received. For more details see “Error Indication” on page 3-1.

2.4 Reading off Heading and Source Indication

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.

Read the vessel’s heading off the 360° and 10° cards at the lubber line.

The type of heading source in use (gyrocompass = GYRO, magnetic compass = MAG or transmitting heading device = THD) is indicated through the corresponding indicator being lit. As an example, a repeater indicating a gyrocompass heading of 123.4° is shown below.

For details regarding indication of invalid heading data see ‘Error Indication” on page 3-1.

2.5 Adjusting the Illumination Brightness

To adjust the backlight and keypad illumination brightness:

Press DIM+ to increase the illumination brightness.

Press DIM- to reduce the illumination brightness.

Reducing the illumination brightness also reduces the brightness of the source and error indicator LEDs.

2-4 Adjusting the Illumination Brightness

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

2.6 Synchronizing the Compass Cards

The analogue repeaters are self-synchronizing. They do not normally require any user intervention to re-synchronize the compass card indication with the actual heading received. However, the position offset counter may occasionally get out of synchronization with the actual position of the cards, e.g. due to excessive gear friction at low temperatures or when a repeater is subjected to heavy shocks during transport.

To initiate compass card synchronization:

1. Press and hold DIM- and DIM+ simultaneously for more than 3 seconds, then release the keys.

2. The compass cards start turning to align to the North (zero degree) position. When the photo interrupters detect that both cards have finally aligned, they briefly stop and the position offset is zeroed.

The synchronization is now complete and the repeater automatically resumes normal operation.

2.7 Initiating the Self Test

To quickly test the proper function of the card drive and the LED indicators, a self test mode is provided.

To initiate the self test:

1. Press and hold DIM- and DIM+ simultaneously for more than 10 seconds. As soon as the active source indicator goes off, release the keys.

2. The repeater first executes the synchronization routine.

3. Next, all indicators and the backlight come on at maximum brightness for 2 seconds, then go to minimum brightness for 2 seconds and back to maximum brightness for another 2 seconds.

4. Lastly, the cards turn counterclockwise towards the South position, stop briefly and then turn clockwise through a full circle until reaching the South position again.

The self test is now complete and the repeater automatically resumes normal operation.

2.8 Bearing Repeater Capacitive Keys

Although the bearing repeater type 5016-CA is equipped with capacitive keys, in contrast to the push buttons of the compass repeaters types 5016-CB, -CC and -CD, there is no difference in functionality or handling neither with adjusting the illumination brightness, synchronizing the compass cards, nor with initiating the self test.

2.9 Taking Bearings with the Azimuth Device PV 23

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 coloured shades 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. Always engage one or both of the coloured anti-glare filters if necessary to reduce glare while observing an object

Risk of damage The prismatic azimuth device PV 23 is not designed to constantly stay on the bearing repeater compass. Leaving the azimuth device PV 23 on the bearing repeater after usage, will cause wear and damage to the equipment. Always remove the azimuth device PV 23 from the bearing repeater and store it carefully in its storage box.

1. Mount the azimuth device PV 23 onto the bearing repeater:

a) Holding the PV 23 slightly tilted to the far side, hook the far side

catch under the rim of the repeater’s verge ring.

b) Let the centering pin at the underside of the PV 23 engage into

the recess of the repeater faceplate.

c) Push down on the near side of the PV 23.

The flexible near side catch snaps into place and the PV 23 is free to rotate around the centering pin.

2. Take bearings:

a) Peep through the near sight while rotating the PV 23 towards the

object to observe.

b) If necessary, engage one or both of the coloured shades to

reduce glare while observing the object.

c) Continue to rotate the PV 23 until both sights are aligned with the

observed object.

If the object’s elevation is too high for direct observation, pick up the object’s reflection in the black azimuth mirror and align the sights with the reflection.

Chapter 3: Error Indication

When a repeater compass detects an error, the red error indicator flashes or lights up permanently depending on error condition.

The error indication remains active until the cause of the error is eliminated or no longer persists.

The repeater compasses do not possess an audible alarm indicator.

3.1 Error Blink Codes

When an error is detected, the error condition at hand is indicated by the error indicator showing a corresponding blink code.

Check whether data are present at source’s output. Check connection between source and repeater. Check whether the repeater reacts to key presses (dimming, synchronization). If keys are not functional, the repeater did not enter normal operational mode. Cycle power. If the error persists, send the repeater back to Sperry Marine for exchange.

Check whether source provides valid heading data. In NAVIGAT compass systems, check that heading data originates from selected source according to $PPLAN/$PPNSD sentence. Check source’s protocol and baudrate settings. Check whether repeater configuration is hardset to different parameters than source’s output. In case one or all source indicators are flashing together with the error indicator see “Heading Timeout with flashing Source Indicator” on page 3-2 for additional information and corrective action. If the error persists, send the repeater back to Sperry Marine for exchange.

Heading Timeout with flashing Source Indicator

In case of a heading timeout, one or all of the source indicators may flash in synchronously with the error indicator. This provides additional information regarding the cause of the timeout.

• If one of the source indicator flashes, no heading data is received from the currently active source. Possible causes:

– The active source selection is read from the proprietary $PPLAN

or $PPNSD sentences but no valid heading is received from the selected source.

– The active source has marked its heading data invalid or has

stopped sending data and no valid heading data is received from another source.

• If all source indicators flash simultaneously, valid datagrams are recognized at the input but the currently active source cannot be determined. Possible causes:

– NMEA sentences are received but these do not contain any of the

recognized heading sentences.

– NMEA heading sentences are recognized but are excluded from

the range of accepted sentences in the repeater’s configuration.

Chapter 4: Preventive Maintenance

4.1 Maintenance by Shipboard Personnel

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.

The analogue compass repeaters are maintenance-free. All internal moving parts, such as the stepper motor, gear train and bearings, are lifetime-lubricated. The gimbals of the bearing stand and bearing consoles are fitted with self-lubricating polymer bushings.

Shipboard personnel is only requested to keep the compass repeaters clean and to regularly check all cables and connectors visually for any signs of damage or deterioration.

All compass repeater front plates should regularly become cleaned using water and soap or a mild detergent only.

CAUTION

Maintenance of externally installed Bearing Repeater

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 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.

Of course, depending on whether the compass repeater is installed externally or internally, the cleaning effort may vary and will be increased with exposition to environmental conditions, e.g. when installed on the fly bridge or top desk.

Especially the bearing repeater installed on a bearing stand is permanently exposed to environmental conditions and does therefore need additional protection for long time usage and for reduction of unnecessary wear.

It is therefore recommended to always protect the bearing repeater with the cover plate against solar radiation when not in use.

Additionally, the usage of the watertight plastic cover for protection against all environmental conditions is also recommended when the bearing repeater is not in use.

Chapter 5: Installation

5.1 Bearing Repeater

Installing Bearing Repeater with Bearing Stand

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 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.

Bearing repeater stands may be positioned amidships (on the fore-andaft line) or at the port or starboard sides of the vessel. The position of the bearing stand(s) is to be chosen that the vessel’s superstructure does not unduly obstruct the view of the horizon when bearings are taken. In case one bearing stand does not allow take bearings in a full circle of 360°, a second bearing stand must be installed for compensation.

The bearing stand, type 4622, is to be attached to the deck or a pedestal using four M 20 fasteners. Tubular spacers are provided, which are to be inserted between the mounting surface and the base of the stand. The four attachment points are to be located on an imaginary circle of 370 mm diameter, at the 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° positions relative to the forward direction. The elongated holes in the base of the bearing stand allow to correct a misalignment of ±3.5° max.

A cable feedthrough is to be located centrally beneath the stand, so that the connection cable from the compass system runs up the inside of the stand column.

The installation of the repeater in the gimbal ring should be carried out by two service persons.

To install the bearing stand and bearing repeater:

1. Check that the mounting facilities and the cable feedthrough provided by the shipyard match with the specifications given in dimension drawing 4622-0112-03 respectively 4622-0112-06.

2. Lay the connecting cable. Make sure that enough cable exits from the feedthrough to run it up the stand column and through the grommet to the connection box.

6. Remove the grommet from the cable exit in the stand column.

7. Run the connection cable up the stand column and through the exit to the outside of the stand.

8. Loosen one of the lock nuts securing the trunnions in the gimbal ring and screw back the trunnion by approximately 2 cm.

9. Hold the repeater in a convenient position close to the bearing stand. Unwind the repeater connection cable and run it through the gimbal ring, the stand column and the cable exit to the outside of the stand.

10. Lift the bearing repeater into the gimbal ring so that the lubber line points in the forward direction.

11. Locate the fixed trunnion in the bushing in the repeater.

12. Turn the loosened trunnion clockwise into the opposite bushing, so that the repeater is secured without play in the gimbal ring. Make sure that the repeater swings freely in the gimbal ring without jamming.

13. Check that the repeater is centered in the gimbal ring. If necessary, adjust the trunnions to center the repeater.

14. Carefully tighten the trunnion lock nuts until they are just free of clearance.

15. Align the bearing stand with the vessel’s fore-and-aft line as follows:

a) Determine the exact lateral distance between the stand’s centre

and the vessel’s fore-and-aft line.

b) Position a beam with a perpendicular reference mark well for-

ward of the bearing stand, at the same lateral distance from the fore-and-aft line.

c) Fit a PV 23 azimuth device to the bearing repeater.

d) Take a bearing of the reference mark on the beam.

The bearing is to be 360° exactly. If necessary, gently rotate the bearing stand until a bearing of 360° is obtained.

e) Position a second beam well aft of the bearing stand.

f) Take a bearing of the reference mark on the beam.

Check that the bearing is 180° exactly. If necessary, correct any misalignment by rotating the bearing stand, then re-check the bearings of the two beams.

In case the bearing stand is mounted amidships (on the fore-and-aft line), no beams need to be erected if bearings can be taken of objects on the fore-and-aft line, e.g. the centre of the foremast, flagstaff etc.

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 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.

The bulkhead repeater, type 5016-CD, is attached directly onto a bulkhead or is fitted to the optional swivelling mounting bracket. For this purpose, the bulkhead repeater housing possesses three attachment feet with 7 mm holes.

In case of direct bulkhead mounting, the shipyard is to provide the mounting surface with three M 6 weld studs or tapped holes, to which the repeater is attached. In case the optional swivelling bracket is used, the shipyard is to provide the mounting surface with four M 8 weld studs or tapped holes, to which the bracket is attached.

The bulkhead repeater’s electrical connection is normally made via the connection box 4894-AD. As the box contains the service USB port, it should be installed at an easily accessible location close to the repeater.

To install the bulkhead repeater:

1. If the repeater is to be mounted directly onto a bulkhead:

a) Check that the mounting facilities provided by the shipyard

match with the specifications given in dimension drawing 5016-0112-03

b) Fasten the repeater to the bulkhead with suitable fasteners (ship-

yard supply).

If the swivelling bracket is used:

c) Check that the mounting facilities provided by the shipyard

match with the specifications given in dimension drawing 5016-0112-04

d) Fasten the bracket or the to the bulkhead with suitable fasteners

(shipyard supply).

e) Fasten the repeater to the bracket with the fasteners provided.

2. Install a ground strap between the ground stud at the bottom of the repeater housing and ship’s ground.

3. Install the connection box at an easily accessible location close to the repeater.

4. Remove the cover plate from the box.

5. Shorten the repeater and shipside connection cables as required.

6. Remove the cable jacket from the ends of the connection cables, draw back the cable screens and insert the cables into the connection box through the cable glands.

7. Firmly tighten the cable glands. Make sure to establish a solid connection between the screens and ship’s ground via the glands.

8. Connect the repeater and shipside wires to the terminal blocks as per the wiring diagrams and connection drawings provided.

9. In case a custom configuration is required, configure the repeater now using the SUSI application (see chapter 6, ‘Configuration”).

10. Attach the cover plate to the connection box, power up the compass system and carry out a full functional test of the repeater.

Chapter 6: Configuration

6.1 Using the Default Configuration

The repeater’s factory default configuration will be suitable for most installations and will normally not require any customization.

By default, the repeater configuration is “all-automatic”, permitting autodetection of the input protocol and baudrate as well as the active heading source. The automatic source detection takes place as described in chapter 2, section 2.3, “Data Protocol and Source Detection”.

The magnetic heading repeater is configured by default to display magnetic heading only, regardless of which source is currently active.

6.2 Configuring the Analogue Repeater with SUSI

This section is intended for authorized service personnel configuring or servicing an analogue repeater. These tasks require a PC running the Sperry Universal Service Instrument (SUSI) application. SUSI is provided to authorized service personnel only and is generally not available to end-customers.

Should it be required to configure the repeater using other settings than the factory defaults, the configuration settings must be accessed from a PC (field engineer’s laptop or notebook computer) connected to the repeater’s USB service port and running the Sperry Universal Service Instrument application (SUSI).

For the present section, it is assumed that you have successfully installed SUSI and the USB device driver for the analogue repeaters on your PC. Once an analogue repeater is connected to the PC, a device named “RCS - NGSM Service USB Port” (repeater compass system) must appear in the Windows Device Manager, listed as a modem device.

If you have not yet installed the SUSI and/or the device driver, refer to the SUSI Installation Guide, included in the Sperry Marine Client-CD

056800. Support for the analogue repeater is available in SUSI versions

1.024 and higher. If you are using an earlier version, obtain the current

SUSI installation package from Sperry Marine and re-install the software.

The procedures described below are performed using the controls appearing in SUSI’s application tab when connecting to the repeater. More advanced configuration features, accessible through SUSI’s terminal and parameter tabs, are beyond the scope of this manual.

If configuring a repeater using other settings than the factory defaults, note all settings in the analogue compass repeater setup table (see Appendix). Send a copy of the filled-out table to Sperry Marine for inclusion in the ship’s file.

Using the Default Configuration 6-1

Note

10. If the service PC has not previously been used to service an analogue repeater, a warning message will pop up, indicating that the parameter list for the device is empty:

Click to read the current configuration from the repeater and to set the Main page parameter controls accordingly, or

click if you intend to set all parameters manually in SUSI first and write them to the repeater later.

11. If you clicked in the previous step, a dialogue box will pop up, asking whether the parameters should be saved as default settings for this device:

Click . to save the parameters as default settings or to cancel.

12. If you clicked in the previous step, the default settings are now written to a file named “RCSdefault.xml“ in the sub-directory “Parameter Files” in SUSI’s installation directory.

If a default parameter file for the analogue repeater already exists, e. g. if the PC has been used previously to service a repeater, the above warning message will not appear. In this case, do not write back settings to the repeater before all parameters have been set as required for the repeater under service.

13. Using the Main Page controls, set the repeater configuration parameters and dimming values as required. An overview and detailed descriptions of the parameters are given below (see “Configuration Parameters” on page 6-6 and “Dimming Values” on page 6-12).

14. When all parameters are set as required, click to transfer the settings to the repeater.

6-4 Configuring the Analogue Repeater with SUSI

Note

15. To finish off the configuration, click in the SUSI application to read all configuration and calibration settings from the analogue repeater back into SUSI’s runtime memory. A dialogue box will pop up, asking whether these parameters should be saved as default settings for this device:

16. Click to save the parameters. The saved file is named “RCSdefault.xml“ and is located in the sub-directory “Parameter Files” in SUSI’s installation directory. To be able to retrieve and restore the configuration at a later point in time, this file should be copied and saved to an appropriate location.

If a file “RCSdefault.xml“ already exists in SUSI’s “Parameter Files” subdirectory, it will be overwritten without further warning. To be able to retrieve and restore the configuration at a later point in time, rename the file “RCSdefault.xml“ and/or copy it from the “Parameter Files” sub-directory to a different location.

17. Fill out the analogue repeater setup table to retain an easily retrievable written record of the analogue repeater configuration.

18. Unplug the USB cable from the repeater and the service PC.

19. Power down the repeater and put the protective plug back on the housing or reattach the cover to the connection box, respectively.

20. The configuration of the analogue repeater is now complete.

6-10 Configuration Parameters

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

Dimming Offset

Sets a local offset for the brightness level.

Setting: -7 – +7

Select an offset as required to match the brightness of the repeater to that of other equipment controlled through the same dimming command device.

Offsets below 0 decrease, offsets above 0 increase the repeater’s overall brightness by the corresponding number of brightness levels.

As the analogue repeater’s illumination has eight discrete brightness levels, an offset of -7 forces the minimum level while an offset of 7 forces the maximum level at all times.

Note that adjusting the brightness with the DIM- and DIM+ keys also alters the dimming offset accordingly.

Configuration Parameters 6-11

056376/A Analogue Compass Repeaters

Note

6.4 Dimming Values

The illumination intensities at the repeater ’s eight discrete brightness levels are factory preset to provide a useful range of levels under most lighting conditions, both at day and night. However, to permit an optimum adaptation of the repeater to local lighting conditions, a configurable dimming value table is maintained in the on-board memory.

For each brightness level (“dimming step”), the table holds a set of four dimming values. These represent the illumination intensity for the card backlight (“PCB”), the source indicators (“Status”), the DIM keys and the error indicator.

Figure 6-2:

Repeater application

main page:

dimming values

Adjusting Dimming Values

The analogue repeater’s dimming values are preset to factory defaults which should be suitable without further adjustment in most cases.

However, in certain situations, e.g. on an open deck or under subdued lighting, a more useful range of brightness levels may be obtained if the dimming values are altered.

To alter dimming values, edit the table entries directly or use the spin controls to set them to the required values. Each table entry may take any value between 0 (off) and 1000 (maximum brightness). Due to the nonlinear brightness perception of the human eye, it will be required to gradually increase the difference in value from step to step in order to achieve even graduation of the brightness levels.

Alterations of the dimming values are transferred to the repeater immediately. This permits to directly observe the result of changes at the currently active brightness level.

Do not set the error indicator’s intensity to “0” at any dimming step. This would disable the indicator at the respective step.

6-12 Dimming Values

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

Note

Serial Dimming Command Evaluation

When serial dimming is used, the analogue repeater reads the commanded brightness percentage from the $--DDC or $PPLAI sentence, respectively. At a dim offset of 0, the range of possible percentage values, is mapped to the repeater’s eight brightness levels as follows:

Table 6-1:

Serial dimming bright-

ness percentage to

repeater brightness

level mapping

commanded percentage repeater dimming step

00 – 11 1

12 - 24 2

25 - 36 3

37 - 49 4

50 - 61 5

62 - 74 6

75 - 86 7

87 - 99 8

If the dim offset is set to a value other than 0, via the setup or by adjusting the brightness with the DIM keys, the effective brightness of the repeater is altered by the corresponding number of steps up or down.

The analogue repeater evaluates the brightness percentage field from the $--DDC or $PPLAI sentences only. The dimming preset and colour palette fields are ignored.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting

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.

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.

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.

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.

7.1 Basic Service Checks

Field service personnel shall only limit troubleshooting to the basic service checks given below.

All repeater types 5016-CA, -CB, -CC, -CD

• Continuity checks of wiring connections.

• Checks for short circuit or overload conditions or reversed polarity of the external supply powers.

• Software-aided troubleshooting using Sperry Marine’s SUSI application, if explicitly instructed by Sperry Marine.

Basic Service Checks 7-1

056376/A Analogue Compass Repeaters

Note

All repeaters, except bearing repeater, type 5016-CA

• Visual inspection of mechanical components, the PCB and wiring.

• Checks of the on-board supply voltages and I/O signals and data. The presence of voltages, signals and data is indicated by diagnostic LEDs on the PCB.

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 programs.

7-2 Basic Service Checks

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A

7.2 Viewing Error Information in SUSI

Analogue Repeater Error Page

When connected to an analogue repeater, the Sperry Universal Service Instrument application (SUSI) provides an “Errors” page which displays the current activity and confirmation state of a number of possible error conditions and counts their occurrence since the last power-up:

Figure 7-1:

SUSI errors page

For errors which have not occurred since the last power-up, the state and confirmation fields will be empty and the counter will read zero. When an error condition is detected, the state field will read “active”. If the error condition is no longer present, the state changes to “inactive”. The confirmation field will always read “not acknowledged” for errors which have occurred at least once, as the analogue repeater provides no means to acknowledge an alarm.

As the Errors page is updated continuously, repeated occurrences of an error lead to a corresponding increase of the error count.

The IDs and descriptions of the error conditions shown on SUSI’s “Errors” page are given in table 7-1 below.

For more information on the SUSI application, refer to chapter 6 (“Configuration”) and to the SUSI Installation Guide included in the Sperry Marine Client-CD 056800.

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.

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.

Should repeaters require to be re-configured, e.g. after installation of a new compass source, field service attendance must be requested from Sperry Marine directly or through an authorized Sperry Marine service representative.

Maintenance by field service personnel is limited to the software-based configuration and update procedures supported by the Sperry Universal Software Instrument application (SUSI).

8.1 Updating the Repeater’s Firmware

The analogue compass repeater supports the uploading of firmware files using SUSI. This allows to selectively update either the actual repeater application software (“MCU-Application”) or the bootloader (“MCU-Bootloader”).

SUSI is able to validate the provided files beforehand, making the file upload a safe and reliable updating method. In case an upload should fail for any reason, the repeater will remain fully functional, continuing to run the previous firmware.

When new firmware is released for the analogue compass repeater, authorized field service personnel will be provided with the required files upon request.

Updating the Repeater’s Firmware 8-1

056376/A Analogue Compass Repeaters

CAUTION

Update Procedure

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.

To update an analogue compass repeater’s firmware:

1. If the repeater is currently powered up, switch off the power first.

2. Gain access to the repeaters USB service port receptacle:

– In case of a steering or magnetic heading repeater, remove the

plastic plug from the back of the housing to access the receptacle on the repeater PCB. If necessary, unmount the repeater from the console to make sure that the port is freely accessible for plugging and unplugging the USB cable.

– In case of a bearing or bulkhead repeater, open the repeater con-

nection box to access the receptacle inside the box.

3. At the PC, start up the SUSI application.

A login dialogue pops up:

4. You may either:

– Enter the PIN “20097”.

This will start up SUSI in the service mode.

Or:

– Leave the PIN empty.

This will start up SUSI in the “unknown login” mode. In this mode, you may update the repeater firmware, but will not be able to access the repeater’s configuration parameters without quitting and restarting SUSI in the service mode.

Click to continue.

5. SUSI’s main window now opens, with the “Application” tab displaying a list of supported devices:

The LED icon next to the button will remain grey, as no connection has been made yet.

8. Click to connect to the repeater. The LED icon should now change to orange and the status line should read “Connected with RCS Bootloader”.

Upon connecting, SUSI opens the update tab:

Updating the Repeater’s Firmware 8-3

056376/A Analogue Compass Repeaters

Note

The update tab provides file browsers to select firmware update files for the repeater’s system software (“MCU-Application”) and the bootloader (“MCU-Bootloader”). The option to update program code for an FPGA (“FPGA-Application“) is greyed out, as the repeater does not contain an FPGA.

9. Depending on whether you intend to update the repeater’s MCU bootloader or its MCU application, click the respective button to call up the file open dialogue. Then, navigate to the firmware

update file, select it in the dialogue and click .

The file open dialogue searches for files with the extension ”.upd” only. In case the update file has been given another extension for any reason, the filename, including the complete access path, must be entered manually in the respective text box of the update tab.

8-4 Updating the Repeater’s Firmware

Analogue Compass Repeaters 056376/A
