heading necessary for navigation and output data to external
equipment. It has been designed for medium and large vessels
and provides high accuracy and reliability on the basis of the
TG-5000 series gyrocompass which has been installed on more
than 5000 vessels.
The Control Box contains all interfaces to external equipment, as
well as connection to the Master Compass. Power for the gyro
system is also terminated in the unit.
