Gyrocompass

The TG-8000 is designed for standard IMO ship application whereas the TG-8500 is designed for High-Speed Craft application.

• Suitable for speeds of up to 70knots (TG-8500)
• Fast follow-up rate (maximum 75°/s)
• Fast serial data output (IEC61162-2)
• Interfaces with external heading sensor.
• Minimal system components for dual gyro system for space saving & installation cost.
• Startup-timer function

The advantages of gyroscope technology offered by the specially designed GM-20/21 eliminates the inconveniences associated with conventional magnetic compasses. The GM-20/21 features synchro output, which can be used to drive the companion TOKYO KEIKI PR-1500 Steering Control for decidedly low cost autopilot steering. There’s also an automatic preset startup feature with a 24-hour timer, so the GM-20/21 can be made ready to go for the next outing. In addition, if a synchro amplifier is used with the GM-21, up to three repeater compasses can be connected. The GM-20/21 incorporates a master compass which is normally mounted on top of the static inverter. If available space is limited, the static inverter can be remotely located on the bulkhead.

• Compact Design
  The GM-20/21 measures only 228 x 321 x 377mm, so it can be easily installed on fishing boats and other small commercial vessels.
• Low Power Consumption
  Power consumption is only 50 VA (for master compass)
• Ease of Operation
• Direct Reading and Synchro Output
  Direct reading simplifies use considerably, and synchro output offers means for low-cost autopilot steering.
• Three Repeater Compass Circuits
• Automatic Preset Startup
• A 24-hour timer permits automatic startup.

It is especially designed for medium and small vessels using TOKYO KEIKI’s state-of-the-art mechatronics technology. The ES-110 gyrocompass can also be used as a directional sensor for a variety of navigational equipment.
