The M4 screw can fix the gyroscope north finder on the carrier.


5. Use and maintenance

If the startup current of the gyroscope north finder is found to be greater than 1A during use, the power supply voltage should be checked to ensure it meets the requirements. If the inspection is correct, professional personnel should be hired for maintenance.

5.2 If no serial data output is found during the use of the gyroscope north finder, the wiring should be checked for correctness, and the serial port settings and data reception format should be checked for correctness. If the inspection is correct, professional personnel should be hired for maintenance.


6. Precautions

6.1 The gyroscope north finder should be handled gently during transportation and installation, and impact is strictly prohibited.

6.2 During the process of searching north, the carrier should be kept absolutely stationary (without vibration), otherwise it will affect the accuracy of searching north.

6.3 The longitudinal and transverse inclination angles of the carrier should not exceed ± 8 °, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of north finding.
