YDK Tech CMZ900 Series: The Ultimate Solution for Modern Marine Navigation

The YDK Tech (previously Yokogawa) CMZ900 Series of Gyro Compasses offers a variety of models tailored to meet the specific needs of different vessels. These state-of-the-art gyro compasses are type-approved to comply with IMO standards resolution and JIS-F9602 Class A standards, ensuring they meet the highest levels of accuracy and reliability in maritime navigation.

Understanding Gyro Compasses

A gyro compass detects true north by utilizing a fast-spinning rotor, which is suspended with no friction and influenced by gravity and the rotation of the Earth. This sophisticated mechanism enables a gyro compass to indicate a ship’s heading accurately. The CMZ900 series is renowned for its precision and reliability, having been type-approved in accordance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards, resolution A.424(XI), and JIS-F9602, class A standards.

Models of the CMZ900 Series

CMZ900-B2 Gyro Compass

Designed for small vessels, the CMZ900-B2 Gyro Compass ensures smooth gyro changes without lag when a small vessel changes course. Its compact and efficient design makes it ideal for various small-scale maritime applications.

CMZ900-S Gyro Compass

This model includes a control box with a built-in monitor, making it suitable for all merchant vessels. The CMZ900-S offers various types of signal outputs, enhancing its versatility and functionality across different maritime environments.

CMZ900-D Dual Gyro Compass

The CMZ900-D is a highly reliable dual system that includes a control box and a dual AC adaptor. This model features switch-over controls, multiple signal outputs, and enhanced integration capabilities, making it a top choice for larger vessels requiring robust navigation solutions.

Enhanced System Capabilities

To further enhance the capabilities of the CMZ900 series, optional instruments are available to increase the signal outputs of the gyro compass. Additional navigation equipment, such as repeater compasses and course recorders, can be integrated as part of the system. The MASTER COMPASS (MKM 026) operates on a 24 VDC power supply, making it adaptable to different power requirements and ensuring all signal outputs are maintained during AC power interruptions if 24 VDC is provided.
