The binnacle can be supplied with the full set of correctors needed to meet the requirements of IMO Resolution A.382 and ISO 25862 including quadrantal correctors, flinders and B & C correction.

It is required that the compass can be read from the helmsman position. To achieve this we offer a periscope and lens arrangement. This is reflector version is used on most vessels.

Instead of the vertical reflection tube, a horizontal by-pass with a maximum length of 2 meters can be used (total length of the optical arrangements up to 3 meters). A by-pass is necessary if the helmsman position is not directly below the compass binnacle.

We can also supply a non-reflector binnacle which has no periscope. In this case, a different method must be used to read the compass. We offer our GS820 TMC system to meet this requirement. A pickup attached to the compass allows interpretation of the heading. A repeater can be placed where convenient. It also allows an NMEA digital signal to output to other equipment such as the autopilot. Even when a periscope is fitted a TMC is often added for this function.

This compass outfit is also Type Approved to the European Marine Directive (MED) and other classification societies including the Chinese Classification Society.
