YOKOGAWA GYROCOMPASS KR012-F REPEATER COMPASS 1264 NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT

The Yokogawa KR012-F is a high-performance, servo-driven gyrocompass repeater designed for reliable, accurate heading display in marine navigation systems. As part of Yokogawa’s renowned KR-012 series gyrocompass system, this repeater receives synchro data from a master gyrocompass to provide real-time vessel heading information at remote locations on the bridge, wing stations, or other critical points.

Primary Function & Application:
This unit acts as a slave indicator, faithfully displaying the vessel’s true heading as determined by the central master gyrocompass. It is an essential component for bridge resource management (BRM), allowing multiple officers to have simultaneous, consistent heading reference during manual steering, collision avoidance, and navigational fixes.

• Model: Repeater Compass, Type 1264, part of the KR012-F system.

• Display: Features a clear, easy-to-read analog dial with a 360-degree scale. The card is typically rotated by a precision servo motor for smooth, lag-free indication.

• Input Signal: Accepts standard synchro transmission signals (1x, 36x, or 128x) from the Yokogawa KR-012 series master gyro or a GYRO/STD BY switch unit.

• Power Supply: Operates on standard shipboard DC or AC power (common ratings: 24V DC, 100V AC, or 110V AC). The specific voltage is model-dependent.

• Construction: Built with robust, marine-grade materials for durability in the harsh saltwater environment. The case is designed to be water-resistant or drip-proof.

• Mounting: Typically designed for flush mounting into a console or bulkhead, providing a clean, integrated look on the bridge.

• Compatibility: Designed as the standard repeater for the Yokogawa KR-012, KR-013, and similar series of marine gyrocompasses. May interface with other systems via appropriate converters.
