Furuno CH300 manual Motion Sensor MS-100 option, Mounting considerations

1. MOUNTING

1.6Motion 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.

1.6.1Mounting 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.

1.6.2Mounting 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.
