YDK (ex-Yokogawa) STEERING REPEATER MKR056

The YDK MKR056 is a Steering Repeater Compass. It shows your ship’s course, using data from gyrocompasses or other navigation tools. This compass offers several mounting options: console, flush, pilot stand, and wall mount. In addition, it meets MED standards for high performance.

The MKR056 works seamlessly with Yokogawa CMZ900 and CMZ700 gyrocompasses. If you need a dependable way to monitor your ship’s course, this compass is a great choice.

Connecting this device to your gyrocompasses, gyro-trackers, or other systems is easy. It uses the RS232 / 422 digital interface, following the NMEA0183 standard. The course appears on a vernier card with an LED dimmer, so it remains clear in any lighting. It also aligns automatically, making readings more precise.

Another helpful feature is direction-finding. This function lets you find bearings for objects on land or in the sky that are visible from your vessel. You can use it for navigation, surveying, or even astronomy. The horizontal stand also makes adjustments easy.

Furthermore, the MKR056 works with other brands of gyrocompasses and systems that use the NMEA standard. It has low power consumption and resists harsh conditions, so it’s highly durable.

In short, the YDK MKR056 enhances navigation on your ship. It provides clear, accurate course and bearing information along with direction-finding capabilities. This versatile tool is a valuable addition to any ship’s bridge equipment.
