1.6 Motion Sensor MS-100 (option)
The MS-100 measures ship’s pitching and rolling angles with a sensor, using the
principles of the gyroscope. The MS-100 is free from error caused by ship’s
vertical and horizontal motion. Therefore, it can be installed at any convenient
location. However, ship’s semi-permanent inclination due to loading imbalance
cannot be detected. Compensate for this as described in Chapter 3.
1.6.1 Mounting considerations
•
Vibration in the mounting area should be minimal.
•
Locate the unit away from areas subject to water splash.
•
The ambient temperature should not exceed 50°C.
1.6.2 Mounting procedure
Orient the FORE mark on the unit toward the ship’s bow and mount the unit level
to within 5° in all directions. For the offset, see Chapter 3.
