About YDK Technologies Gyro Compasses

YDK Technologies, formerly known as Yokogawa, has a rich history dating back to 1852 when it began as a manufacturer of meteorological and hydrological equipment. Today, YDK Technologies is a leading provider of advanced navigation equipment, including gyrocompasses, autopilots, and electromagnetic logs. Their CMZ900 Series of Gyro Compasses offers unparalleled precision and reliability for maritime navigation.

CMZ900 Series: Precision and Compliance

The CMZ900 Series of Gyro Compasses is designed to provide accurate heading information by detecting true north through a fast-spinning rotor, suspended with no friction, influenced by gravity and the Earth’s rotation. Each model in the series is type-approved to comply with International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards, specifically resolution A.424(XI), and JIS-F9602 Class A standards.

Models in the CMZ900 Series

The CMZ900 Series includes several models, each tailored to meet specific vessel requirements:

• CMZ900-B2 Gyro Compass: Ideal for small vessels, this model ensures smooth gyro changes without lag when the vessel changes course.
• CMZ900-S Gyro Compass (+ Control Box with Built-in Monitor): Suitable for all merchant vessels, offering various types of signal outputs.
• CMZ900-D Dual Gyro Compass (+ Control Box + Dual AC Adaptor): A highly reliable dual system with switch-over controls, multiple signal outputs, and enhanced integration capabilities.

To enhance the system’s capabilities, optional instruments are available, including repeater compasses and course recorders. The MASTER COMPASS (MKM 026) operates on a 24 VDC power supply, ensuring all signal outputs are maintained during AC power interruptions if 24 VDC is provided. Serial data output IEC 61162-1 or -2 (high-speed transmission) is selectable, providing the ship’s heading and rate of turn (ROT) information.

Features of CMZ900 Series

The CMZ900 Series Gyro Compasses boast several key features:

• Modular design saves space
• Master Compass can be included in an autopilot steering unit
• Serial data output for heading and ROT output
• Manual and auto speed correction (900S & 900D)
• Unique anti-vibration system
• Small, lightweight container enhances follow-up speed
