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.
