1.7 Motion Sensor MS-100 (option)
The optional motion sensor MS-100 measures ship’s pitching and rolling angles with a
sensor, using the principles of the gyrocompass. Because it is free from error caused by
ship’s vertical and horizontal motion, it can be installed at any convenient location. However,
ship’s semi-permanent inclination due to loading imbalance be detected.

• Vibration in the mounting area should the minimal.
• Locate the unit away from areas subject to water splash.
• The ambient temperature should not exceed 50°C.
1.7.2 Mounting procedure
Orient the FORE mark on the unit toward the ship’s bow and mount the unit within
5° of horizontal in all directions. For the offset, see Chapter 3.
