Marine Repeater Magnetic Compass

Marine Repeater Magnetic Compass

General Description：

The marine repeater magnetic compass is a type of navigational aid that is designed to transmit information from the main compass to other parts of the ship where it may not be possible to install a magnetic compass. It typically consists of a repeater unit, which is connected to the main compass, and a remote display unit that can be located in any part of the ship. The repeater unit consists of a series of sensors that detect the magnetic field and heading of the ship, and a transmitter that sends this information to the remote display unit. The remote display unit typically consists of a digital or analog display that shows the ship's heading in degrees, as well as other information such as speed, course, and distance traveled. The marine repeater magnetic compass is typically used on large or medium-sized ships that are equipped with a magnetic compass. It is especially useful in situations where there may be magnetic interference or other navigational hazards that can affect the accuracy of the magnetic compass. The remote display unit of the repeater magnetic compass can be mounted on the ship's bridge or in any other part of the ship where it is easily visible to the navigator. It is usually connected to other navigational instruments such as GPS, radar, or electronic chart displays, allowing the navigator to have a more complete and accurate picture of the ship's location and heading.

Standard: IEC-61162

Application:

Large Ships: The repeater magnetic compass is commonly used on large ships where the main compass may not be visible or accessible to the navigator in all parts of the ship.

Magnetic Interference: The repeater magnetic compass is especially useful in situations where there may be magnetic interference from other equipment or sources, which can affect the accuracy of the main compass.

Redundancy: The repeater magnetic compass provides a redundant backup system for the main compass, ensuring that the navigator always has access to accurate heading information.

Navigation: The repeater magnetic compass is an essential navigational tool, providing accurate heading information that is used in conjunction with other navigational instruments such as GPS, radar, and electronic chart displays.

Safety: The repeater magnetic compass is critical to ensuring the safety of the ship and its crew, particularly in situations where navigation is challenging, such as in poor weather conditions, low visibility, or near hazardous areas.
