I. Overview
GC-2000 type compass Converter: can be synchronous or stepping traditional analog
signals into digital gyrocompass
Digital signal, and bow to the data displayed in real time, while providing multi-standard
signal supply radar, autopilot, electronic
Charts, AIS and other equipment.
Second, the technical parameters
(A) the general parameters
4-digit LED display heading to show the accuracy of 0.1 degrees, adjustable
brightness.
can be applied to a variety of synchronous or stepping compass, to adapt to a variety
of transmission ratio: 360X, 180X, 90X,
45X, 36X.
Power supply:
You can not take an external power supply, as long as the switch is set to match the
compass will work properly.
When connected to an AC synchronous compass, compass energized by the power supply
voltage;

Data bits: 8
No parity: N
Stop bits: 1
HDT statement sent Frequency: 4 times per second
Bow to the data transmission format:
(1) RS422 bus
Output current:> 50mA, can directly drive at least eight standard IEC61162-2 input port.
(2) RS232 bus
Output current is greater than 10mA, can drive two standard RS232 input port.

Signal.
3, wiring methods:
(1), the input line (R1, R2, S1, S2, S3, COM) terminals corresponding gyro compass:
If stepper gyrocompass number input signal, make terminals S1, S2, S3, COM contact
The compass corresponding signals. R1, R2 is vacant, do not pick.
If synchronous gyrocompass number of input signals, put the terminals S1, S2, S3
Access Law
After corresponding signals, R1, R2 access excitation voltage, COM is vacant.
compass does not know the type, technical specifications, please check the compass.

found bow compass display to indicate changes in the direction opposite to the
direction of change and the main compass bow, then
Simply put S1, S2, S3 swap any two lines you can get the correct direction of change.
(2), an output line (422A, 422B, 232H, 232C, CLK-H, CLK-C, DATA-H, DATA-C)
Terminal:
RS-422 output signals: RS-422A, RS-422B

4, the operation method
[A], GC-2000 panel has three operating buttons, which are the * key, Up, down.
The first step, according to the power supply mode set compass type switch, according to
the type of compass pass to set up than the open
Turn off.
The second step, connect the output line RS422, RS232, AD-10
The third step, access compass input signal line S1, S2, S3, COM (stepping compass) or
S1, S2, S3,
R1, R2 (synchronous compass). Digital display flashes.
The fourth step, bow to be corrected upwards by , down keys to adjust the displayed
data with the master compass heading
Through the same point.
The fifth step, press the * key once to display numbers do not blink. At this point GC2000 can be synchronized with the master compass
Data show the correct heading.
The sixth step, compass display setup:
When displayed without flashing when the bow to the data, press the * key, the display
will turn now set the compass type
And transmitted to the ratio: Sync ---- synchronous
StEP ---- Stepper
Rnnn --- r represents the ratio transmission, nnn represents three

Digits, respectively, 360x, 180x, 90x, 45x, 36x.

The seventh step, bow to adjust the displayed value:
When they find GC-2000 with the main compass display data does not match, you need
to be adjusted to display the data match
With.
1. Press and hold the * key for about 3 seconds, the display flashes heading value.
2. Press Up, Down keys to adjust the displayed value.
3, when the value of the main compass indicating the same, press the * key to complete
the match.
The eighth step, adjust the display brightness:
When the GC-2000 when the bow to the normal display, press the up key to increase
brightness, press the down key brightness decreases.
