Anschutz KP419
Anschutz KP419 is a marine gyrocompass control unit, belonging to the Anschutz gyro navigation system for commercial vessels. This gyrocompass control unit processes gyro sensor signals, calculates true heading data and outputs stable heading information to bridge navigation equipment. The gyrocompass control unit supports heading signal distribution to radar, ECDIS, AIS and autopilot via serial and analog interfaces. The gyrocompass control unit has built-in self-test, fault diagnosis and alarm functions for gyro system health monitoring. The gyrocompass control unit acts as key spare part for wheelhouse gyrocompass system maintenance and navigation signal distribution.

This KP419 unit receives raw data from the gyro sensor element and compensates vessel rolling, pitching and yaw motion errors. KP419 provides multiple output protocols including synchro, step and serial heading signals for onboard navigation devices. KP419 features front panel display and status LED indicators for local readout and fault troubleshooting. KP419 complies with IMO and IEC 60945 marine navigation standards for seagoing merchant ships.

As professional marine navigation hardware, this Anschutz control unit keeps accurate heading output under vessel vibration, temperature variation and salt mist environment. Anschutz gyrocompass systems are widely installed on tankers, bulk carriers and container ships. Anschutz navigation spare parts cover control units, gyro elements and signal interface boards for navigation system overhaul. Anschutz gyrocompass control units are trusted replacement units for legacy marine gyro heading systems.
